Stem Systems is an I.T. solutions provider based in Northern Ireland, formed in 2003 as a company capable of handling the complete range of I.T. requirements of typical small to medium businesses. Our clients and ongoing projects now incorporate work for both the private and public sector in a wide variety of professions. In many cases these contracts have involved Stem Systems supplying and configuring the entire infrastructure servers, client machines, networking and firewall equipment, continuing to line-of-business software applications all in-house and with a single point of contact.
Infrastructure work is taken further with the development of bespoke software to handle the more specific needs of clients and improve certain business processes. Stem Systems has developed a range of software systems for various business needs and work with clients on a long term basis - offering ongoing maintenance and updates to the software if required, complemented with support for the I.T. infrastructure on which it runs.

Software development
While able to suggest, install and support a range of third-party software applications on customer networks, occasionally the need has arisen for us to develop a bespoke software system to meet more specific needs of certain clients.
