Your trusted software, services & support partner

Maxima's first Intellect contracting and accounting solutions were installed in the early 1980's. Since then we have accumulated a wealth of expertise in understanding how individual contractors run their businesses, and how best to implement and support solutions that provide truly measurable business benefits.

By listening to the contractors every day, the important issues can be channelled into Intellect's continual development programme. This enables an Intellect system to meet the changing accounting and business needs of contracts for years to come.

When you chose an Intellect system from Maxima, you are choosing a fully supported, integrated information system that handles everything else, whilst you are free to focus on your business opportunities and challenges.

In a supporting role, the Intellect system provides the information to assist in making daily and strategic decisions, while Maxima provides comprehensive implementation services, ongoing support facilities and development.

Looking to the future, developing both the system and individual contractors' use of present and emerging technologies enables competitive advantages to be maintained. Our many users have been re-defining their Intellect systems for years to satisfy new requirements and to take advantage of new technologies.

" The difference is absolute. With nine companies now centralised through the Intellect system, we have access to a complete set of accounts, literally at the flick of a switch. It’s a great system to build on – and we will. "
