AFD Objectives and
examples of how we
meet them:
| 1. |
|
To
produce
and market
world-class,
innovative
Address
Management
Software
and so
help
organisations
to efficiently
deliver
their
goods
and services.
Using AFD software thousands of organisations save up to 80% of the time
taken to type an address, and ensure accuracy, reducing customer complaints
and helping to deliver excellent customer service.
The AFD Research & Development team deliver a stream of innovations
including patented Robot technology (which avoids the need for clicks or
keystrokes to lookup data); advanced data compression (which puts over
47 million contact records onto a tiny Secure Digital (SD) card) and platform
independence through a wide range of interfaces to AFD software including
XML, SQL and Oracle on Unix, Windows and Pocket PC. |
| 2. |
|
To
demonstrate
excellence
through
honesty,
integrity
and
quality
in
our
products,
services
and
the
way
we
do
business.
Rare in our field, we provide clear product license pricing and offer monthly
payment options especially to help smaller businesses. We minimise environmental
waste by utilising technology such as electronic accounting and by manufacturing
CDs to order. The integrity of our license audit trail is commended by
Royal Mail. |
| 3. |
|
To
provide
high
quality
employment
and
learning
opportunities
for
our
staff

help
them
to
grow
in
skills
and
as
people.
AFD encourages its people to grow both within the organisation and through
external learning by the funding of courses and time off for learning. |
| 4. |
|
To
contribute
directly
and
indirectly
to
the
quality
and
well-being
of
the
society
in
which
we
live.
AFD staff are active in helping communities achieve the very best. For
example Senior staff are engaged with government in ensuring education
IT strategy is smart and achievable to the benefit of thousands of young
people. Staff are also encouraged to enrich their local community through
applying their skills in a voluntary capacity - AFD may allow them to use
company facilities to support charity ventures. |
| 5. |
|
To
generate
profits,
and
to
use
them
creatively
in
the
relief
of
suffering,
the
improvement
of
society
and
furtherance
of
the
Christian
gospel.
A core motivation for profit is to make life better for others. The lives
of thousands of people have been enriched and empowered through carefully-channelled
funds in excess of 200K per annum. |
