Much of the experience behind Agora stems from projects within the brewery and leisure trades and covers the design and implementation of wide area networks for EPOS and data capture projects.
The knowledge and skills obtained correlate with a number of retail and leisure requirements and can be equally deployed in variety of other commercial applications, principally where there is direct customer interface for the sale of products and services.

The basic expertise has also been transferred to office environments, where server based networks and intranets provide a vital role in successful business operation.
