About Us
TAG Developments is the development division of Sherston Software Ltd., the award-winning publisher and supplier of best-of breed creative educational software tools, peripherals, training and support materials for schools in the UK.
Over the years, TAG Developments has produced a number of innovative and highly exciting online community and e-portfolio solutions. Our longstanding and deep affinity with the UK education marketplace, with teachers, subject coordinators and head teachers in particular, means that we strive to deliver solutions that are appropriate for the context they are being used and by the ability of the user.
TAG Developments has a great deal of experience in delivering collaborative, networking solutions for educators, ranging from those that are designed to empower teachers and enable them to share best practice; right through to web-based systems that are specifically focused on helping teachers and schools/colleges to better evidence student capability and to manage student coursework assessment.
For our client-based project work, all of the solutions that we develop are designed by TAG Developments in close collaboration with the client. TAG Development’s projects have focused on delivering online systems to support community users to collaborate, share, moderate, assess, and that have also integrated with existing client back-end systems. All TAG Developments solutions are built on a range of tried and tested web part modules, ensuring that the resulting system will be reliable, robust and fully scalable, and that the overall solution can be delivered quickly and cost effectively.
Through a agile and highly collaborative approach to projects, underpinned by Prince2 project management techniques, TAG Developments is able to work closely with the client to deliver a solution that:
• meets, and in most cases exceeds, customer requirements;
• delivers innovation;
• delivers a pedagogically sound solution;
• provides fit for purpose solutions to all users; and
• is delivered on time and within budget.
Over the past decade, TAG Developments has worked to establish itself as a brand valued both by teachers for the educational assurances it promises and by our commercial partners for the access we offer to cutting edge technologies within the context of the education market.
TAG Development's employees are dedicated, highly skilled and enthusiastic former top educators, cutting edge software and online developers, as well as highly experienced project managers, marketers and sales consultants.
