Bespoke systems development for companies with ideas

About us

Unity Information Systems

Unity Information Systems was formed in 2000 to offer high-value, high-quality bespoke software solutions at an affordable price. Drawing on experience gained with some of the world’s best-known IT providers, we set out to deliver the same standard of work at a more accessible cost.

We work with medium and large organisations that have clear ideas about how software can give them an edge. We partner closely with them to produce systems that meet — and often exceed — expectations.

In independent client feedback we have consistently been recognised for responsiveness, a can-do attitude and genuine value for money. Successful long-term relationships are built on shared ownership, transparency and integrity. We typically prefer fixed-price models that demonstrate our commitment from the outset.

We remain available for the right projects.

How we work

01 · Think

Get the foundation right

We start by understanding the real problem, the constraints and the people involved. Clear scope and shared intent reduce risk and make everything that follows more effective.

02 · Build

Design and deliver with precision

Close collaboration keeps the work on track. We focus on clean architecture, practical decisions and delivering software that does exactly what it needs to — nothing more, nothing less.

03 · Run

Make it work in the real world

Software only delivers value once it is embedded. We support the transition, help teams adopt it, and make sure the system settles properly into day-to-day operations.

Skills & foundation

Blazor and modern .NET development

We have spent significant time recently building depth in modern .NET application development, with a particular focus on Blazor. The aim has been to establish a clean, reusable foundation that lets us deliver new applications faster and with greater consistency.

Blazor allows us to write rich, interactive web interfaces using C# and the full .NET stack — rather than switching between languages and ecosystems. Components are reusable, the architecture is coherent end-to-end, and the same language and tooling can be used across the application. For business systems this is a practical advantage: less friction, stronger type safety, and a single, maintainable codebase.

The work has included establishing solid patterns for structure, state management, authentication and integration so that future projects can start from a proven base rather than from scratch. This foundation supports both new greenfield systems and the kind of carefully scoped, high-quality applications we have always preferred to build.

Selected projects

BCS
Featured project
Skills & talent platform

RoleModelplus

We developed RoleModelplus for BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT — a skills mapping platform that helps organisations understand the digital capabilities within their teams, build role profiles and career pathways, and plan workforce development around the SFIAplus framework (or their own taxonomies such as DDaT).

The platform supports IT leaders, L&D and HR teams in identifying skill gaps, aligning development activity with business strategy, and giving individuals clear routes for progression. It continues to be used by organisations seeking to professionalise and grow their digital talent.

Elicitra

Elicitra - Find out what your team truely knows

Building on more than two decades of experience in bespoke systems and skills frameworks — including the development of RoleModelplus for BCS — a new company has been formed: Elicitra.

Elicitra is an AI-powered talent intelligence platform designed for UK SMEs. It helps organisations discover what their teams truly know, building a usable skills inventory in days rather than months. The platform combines technical and behavioural capability mapping (such as SFIA, GDAD for IT services, CQC, OfSted for healthcare, early years care compliance) with practical insights for role matching, career pathways, workforce planning and compliance.

It is built for speed, structure and trust — with human-in-the-loop validation and audit-ready outputs that support real operational and regulatory needs.
