Background

JustMeet began in the 1990s, when Henry Harrison, founder of AliceStreet Ltd, first had the idea for a virtual meeting experience. This idea grew into the AliceStreet Conference Center and was developed with the help of Geotic Ltd who subsequently bought the rights and existing software in 2004. Later, Geotic Ltd became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Applied Software Engineering Ltd - a software house that was founded in 1999.

Coping with a changing business environment

Our problems at Applied Software Engineering are no different to those of any other business. The key is good communications. Since we don’t have a single office where people come to work, promoting dialogue between all those involved in a project is a challenge. We recognised that JustMeet, as it is now known, would be the ideal way to achieve this. Our office is virtual and accessed, at times, from locations throughout the world.

We believe that our virtual office, where problems are immediately tackled 'head-on', has been a key element towards reducing our development times. We find that misunderstandings with clients have been dramatically reduced and that we are bringing products to market faster as a result.

Bringing the virtual office to you

With the modern internet it should be possible to run a business where everyone can work hours that are convenient to them, from the comfort of their own homes without the need travel long distances to meet employees and customers. This is now being accelerated by the need to reduce costs and growing concern about carbon emissions.

The advantages of our experience of running a virtual office are now being made available to you. Whenever you need to have a meeting with colleagues or clients, simply JustMeet!
