Capabilities
Simulators
Simulators provide powerful insight into complex dynamic systems. They also enable the rapid development of genetic algorithms and fuzzy rules.
Language Parsers
There are many legacy systems producing data in unusual formats. A customised parser can very often recover lost value from this data.
Rapid Prototyping
Produce Rapid Prototypes and “Proof of Concept” applications save money, reduce risk and speed velocity in Agile projects.
Product Evaluation
Finding and evaluating the best new tools and techniques available in the world today, and bringing these technologies to New Zealand.
Messaging Systems
Messaging Systems are central to any P2P architecture. Well-implemented, they can dramatically improve reliability, security and data velocity.
Gamification
The Gaming is now larger than the Film Industry, and its not hard to see why; games are addictive. “Gamify” your design and make your application a winner.
Big Data and NoSQL
Even top RDBM systems now struggle to compete with the power and ease of use of Big Data/NoSQL databases. Recover the value from ALL your data.
System Utilities
A customised command-line utility might be the best tool for the job. Get the last ounce of juice out of your IT infrastructure.
Strategy
You face an increasingly competitive environment. You constantly deal with the constraints of time, budget and resources. You feel the constant pressure to perform.
But where others may accept their limitations, you do not. You think more boldly, you are less fearful, more imaginative. Your greatest competitive advantage? Your ability to see further, and to embrace change before it is forced upon you.
Where others hesitate, you act. That is how you got where you are. Yet, you are seldom understood, and often unappreciated. Because you see things before they happen, and only later, when it is obvious do people realise you were right.
Why Concentus? Because we understand.
You have the power - let us enable you.

Safely Containing AI using “Pandoran Spheres”
To say that the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the Singularity poses a hard problem for humanity is an understatement, as anyone who has been following my posts for the last year and a half will know. The utility of AI is undeniable, the temptation, almost irresistible. But the danger to humanity is great, perhaps Read more about Safely Containing AI using “Pandoran Spheres”[…]
The Last Invention
Those who are interested in the cutting edge of computing will be familiar with the opportunities and benefits afforded by simulators and simulation in general. We’ve come a long way from Conway’s “Game of Life”. Exciting new opportunities, in both the short and long term are starting to open up now. One of the most Read more about The Last Invention[…]
Emergent Behaviours in Massively Integrated Systems
I ordinarily leave the heavy technical posts to writers far more capable than myself; I’m not close enough to the early-release cycle on the latest Frameworks/gismos/gadgets to be able to write the perfect tutorial on anything, even if that’s the way I was inclined. Rather, my interest lies in understanding the actual import of the Read more about Emergent Behaviours in Massively Integrated Systems[…]
Design by Principle
Recently, I had the great pleasure of watching a video of Bret Victor, talking about design and development. It’s long, but it’s really brilliant. Bret Victor – Inventing on Principle from CUSEC on Vimeo. The title of the video is “Inventing on Principle”, which I think does not actually sell what is a truly jaw-dropping Read more about Design by Principle[…]
Closing the Loop on Software Development
In recent years, I’ve been called on to write a lot of low-level system software, like parsers, compilers, high-availability data stream monitors and the like. But at fairly regular intervals, I get the opportunity to lead teams of developers in enterprise projects using J2EE. It’s an interesting sensation to contemplate the architectural choices made by Read more about Closing the Loop on Software Development[…]
The Electronic Savannah
Maybe you’ve heard of it; the “Singularity”. The day that history ends. The moment when the sum of all effective machine intelligence exceeds the sum of all effective human intelligence. The day when Creature parts company with Creator. If you think about it, the Singularity represents the ultimate loss of social control. In that moment, Read more about The Electronic Savannah[…]
An Introduction to Mesh Networks
What’s wrong with the Internet? Nothing really, if you are prepared to put up with its inherent unreliability and intrinsic vulnerabilities. The Internet cannot be relied on if you need continuous secure communication between two end-points at a distance. The greater the distance, the greater the vulnerability and unreliability. The more important the communication line, Read more about An Introduction to Mesh Networks[…]
How do you like our new look?
It was about time we applied the same energy and emphasis on solid, back-end engineering to front end design. What good is invention, innovation and creativity if no one ever sees it? We’ve taken some time out to modernise this site and brighten it up some. We hope you like it. Your feedback is appreciated.
