Our Principles
If it is worth doing, do it once, do it right. Make it last. Keep it simple. And above all, keep the company small.
Intouch is a design and development group not a sales organisation. We want our users to have a relationship with the product.
We strive constantly to improve, not just the usability of the system, but also our efforts in education and training.
Keep focused on the Intouch Way avoiding distractions that challenge our resolve to be the best.
A Few Words About Us
Klaas Sybranda (L) and Chris Heberle (R) have been collaborating to design excellent business software since the early 1990's.
In 1999 we replaced license sales with subscriptions, combining use, upgrades and support into an annual 'concurrent use' fee reducing startup costs.
2009 we have dropped subscription in order to build a community of expertise to support the over 140 applications we have developed over nearly 20 years that make up the Intouch Ultima Suite.
