Rational Software

Local government should have reliable, secure, cost-effective tools, and control over its own data.

Rational Software builds small, focused web tools for UK public services on that principle.

What we believe

Reliable
Simple systems with few moving parts are easier to operate and have fewer ways to fail.
Secure
Every change should be recorded and auditable. Personal data should be kept to a minimum and fully erasable. Systems should depend on as few third parties as possible.
Cost-effective
Efficient software costs less to run. Local government deserves high-quality software at a reasonable price.
Your data, under your control
Suppliers should not hold data to ransom with export charges. Local government should own its data and be able to take it elsewhere.

Get in touch

We are currently researching where we can make a positive impact on local government services. We would like to hear from anyone working in local government about how they work and what tools they need. Please get in touch.
