About PDS

Two Decades of Building Software

PDS consultants working together on a client project

Based in Nottinghamshire, PDS has spent more than twenty years building software for UK businesses. What began as IT consultancy has grown into a bespoke development practice — from the client/server systems of our early years to the distributed, connected architectures of today.

We write software end to end: the server systems that hold it all together, the desktop and mobile applications your people use every day, and the web platforms — CMS, e-commerce and SaaS — that face your customers.
