Over the past few decades the world has experienced a software revolution.
From offices to homes and laps to wrists, we’re now cocooned by the stuff and the pace of change is only growing more rapidly.
As if you didn’t know already, Scotland has been a huge innovator in this tech development since the binary-fuelled transformation began.
So, if you’re looking for inspiration to begin your own adventure in IT, begin with our hit list of Scotland’s newest and most exciting IT revolutionaries.
How to cut a dash
Brand Dash is a new marketing software that was developed in our own backyard. Launched at the New Start Scotland exhibition at the SECC, it is all about shrinking marketing costs and improving in-house marketing activities and maximising return on investment.
It comes at a time when companies are looking to scale down their expenses, and the creators of Brand Dash are so confident it works, they’re giving it out on a free trial basis.
This is cutting-edge and creative software design, built in response to industry needs – and proves how the freestyle landscape in Scotland allows for creative licence.
Straight to the point
Over the years Scottish software developers have worked together across a range of specialisms to revolutionize IT and Skyscanner and Fanduel have been at the forefront.
Now they are not alone. Specialist technology investment bank, GP Bullhouse, has identified 12 Scottish companies it believes can go on to match these Scots tech giants and become multi-million pound unicorn companies.
Now, that’s a fitting title for Scotland’s emerging firms, given the mythical pointy-headed horse is our national animal.
Right out of the blue
Everyone knows about the rise of gaming giant Rockstar, which saw Scottish games and software engineers taking over the gaming industry.
However, anyone wishing to enter the IT sector cannot but be wowed, too, by the developers and application architects who have overseen the growth of companies such as CriticalBlue, extraordinary specialists in software optimisation for Android and Linux.
Guardians of the universe
Software architects and .NET developers build bespoke applications and systems for our public bodies and to keep us safe.
East Kilbride-based Memex Technology is a master in this complex art, having developed software for the British police force and for the US of A’s counter-terrorism operations.
As our hit list of revolutionaries shows, whether you specialise in apps, websites or just good old-fashioned software development, there are no limitations if you desire to be the next big thing in IT.
Companies are investing in Scotland because our developers are creating industry-changing software that gets results.
As excitement and investment in the IT sector grows and companies continue to see the benefit, there’s never been a better time, or place, to get involved.
Long live the revolution!
