Founded in 1994 by Andy Wright, Arcade Software was the next step to providing bespoke software applications and computer services
to the local area. The package "karate membership & accounts" was the primary software offered for sale to martial arts
club and this remains the number one selling application even though there are now many clones.
Bespoke databases are written
using DELPHI v5 and PARADOX (RDBMS) and most applications are available to try before you buy.
The niche home computer user market, now
booming due to the internet, was an area that other larger service providers could not cover and when they did the home
user was priced out of the market. One example was a well-known PC superstore that quoted a customer a staggering £120 to reload the
software onto a standard PC. After contacting Arcade Software, the final bill was £60. Although this is half the price,
the same if not better quality service is offered.
Additionally, Arcade Software can supply equipment and computers at discount
prices simply because it's not tied to any one supplier and can shop around for the best deals.
Andy Wright has many years of
experience, having worked for some extremely well known companies in the computer arena: DIGITAL, DELL, COMPAQ, HP, SIEMENS and
within the computer service sector: GETRONICS, LOGISTICS Intl, TECH AID Intl.
