Occam Systems Limited supplies universities and colleges with software for managing student accommodation. 
 
Company history

 
Occam commenced trading on 1st February 1998.  During our first year we conceived PAMS, software for managing student accommodation.
 
Directors
David Wilkes & Paul Chester
In 2000 we acquired Syrex Limited and the Room Service software.  That summer we launced a new version - Room Service 2000, also known as RS2000.
 
We grew rapidly during our early years.  Universities and colleges UK-wide recognised the advantage of working with a specialist supplier.  They dropped their in-house or bespoke systems; by 2005 we had over 30 customer using our PAMS and Room Service systems.
 
In 2005 we started work on Room Service.Net, using the latest Microsoft development tools.  We designed a fully automated migration process to convert existing customers from RS2000.  We started to deliver Room Service.Net to customers during late 2006.  Customers who buy Room Service.Net cite its user interface as the best in the market.
 
In 2006 we started to build a new suite of online products to revolutionise our customers' operations.  Our 'self-service' applications eliminate considerable amounts of data-processing activities and save customers large amounts of money in printing, postage, packing and other related costs.
 
We now have 54 customers, 1/3rd of whom have implemented our self-service applications.
