MMISoftware and Quartz

Besides writing software for Mac OS X MMISoftware also develops websites for companies.

Over the past few months MMI has been working with Quartz Finances Ltd to develop their new website. Part of the project was to develop an online financial calculator called CheckLease. This turned out to be an interesting problem….

When Quartz described the calculator it sounded fairly simple. The first working model in Excel was simple, however, the calculator grew in to a very complicated project.

The calculator has been written in php, it works for three different currencies and includes a series of data checks on the inputs and online help. The results are then e-mailed to the person using the calculator.

What does the calculator do? Well, as it says on the Quartz site:

“CheckLease provides a free online evaluation of financing proposals, primarily for public sector organisations such as schools, NHS trusts, local authorities and other government agencies.”

So now you know…..
