               Abstraction . That
              name was chosen to highlight our dedication to Object
              Technology. That approach is indeed completely based
              on the concept of Abstract Data Type. For us the
              highest art in building software consists of
              encapsulating true Abstractions in their jewel-cases:
              classes. 
              We are based
              in Neuchâtel.,
              Switzerland, a world-famous symbol of quality and
              precision . Building quality components is right in
              the tradition of our city, even if our components are
              pure abstraction. 
              We apply this
              approach which conviction in our main product
              Autmatique
              Business Computing. That product automate the
              entreprise management respecting as perfectly as
              possible the needs and the culture of each entreprise
              or business. This was made possible by making ABC a
              finit state automaton interpretor. Thise automaton
              are made conform to the current entreprise procedures
              and are dynamically adapted as the entreprise change.
              And, of course, an automaton is the best to produce
              reliable accounting records ! We provide:
              
                - training for Object Oriented technology
 
                - introduction to free softwares
 
                - specified software components
 
                - mentoring for Eiffel project startup
 
                - Eiffel compilers et tools
 
                - and we have own products : Automatic Business
                Computing (ABC) and SHOP.
 
               
              Ower philosophySoftware Engineering is the
              art of building software starting from existing
              components, not from scratch. From a long time,
              engineers of all domain use existing components from
              the market. Software only start to thing at the
              possibility to adopt that logic. That apparent
              slowness can be explained by the youngness of the
              discipline. Unlike the mechanic which has been
              developed for more than millenars , the software
              development is old of about half a century. Therefore
              that discipline has still a long to go before being
              adult. Notably, software developers have to accept
              that it not reasonable to build unspecified
              components, and of course it event more unreasonable
              to reuse such components. This is the step which
              should be made right now and that already has a name:
              programming by contractTM . That idea is on the way
              now, and we are participating to the propagation of
              that evidence.
              Ower choiceAccording to, we thing that the
              choice of exellences is Eiffel Softwaretm
              technology. If you don't known what Eiffel technology
              means in termes of methode, language and tools, just
