About us

Output42 - Software is our passion

We are service and process oriented to deliver real solutions for your business. Our team originates mainly from the Wrocław University of Technology, the premier engineering institute of Poland. Our staff's excellent educational background coupled with years of experience with leading software companies enables us to deliver solutions to the highest standards. Our employees are highly skilled experts supplying customers with high-quality .Net development services, Oracle advisory and SQL database solutions. We choose our developers very carefully and no one gets onto our development team without having first excelled in our interview process and technical tests. Once we employ a developer we intend to keep them. High staff turnover in development teams is something we have eliminated. The obvious benefits to the customer are continuity of service and rapid turnaround on any issues that occur, those that wrote it fix it is by far the most efficient model for development and support.

 
The team
Steve Crabb
Managing Director

Steve is one of the co-founders of output42. Prior to output42 he worked for Rusada Software setting up and directing their Polish development centre. "It was a megalomaniac developer's dream come true" comments Steve, "to take a team from no software and one person to an Enterprise class application and a team of 35". He has also been a long time director of UK based software company Crabb Computing, providing solutions for such luminaries as Marks & Spencer, The London Stock Exchange and Carlson Marketing. When he gets time to develop, C#, .Net and SQL Server are his weapons of choice.

Before Steve began his software development career he completed his aeronautical degree at Hatfield Polytechnic where he spent more time in the computing department than at the drawing board. Before and during his studies he worked for the influential aerodynamicist and designer Frank Costin (Vampire, Venom, Vanwall, Lotus) building and testing prototype racing cars, aircraft, land yachts and speedboats. So an unconventional start. Before that he picked carrots and before that it all gets a bit hazy.

When its time to relax Steve likes nothing better than to jump in his glider and do battle with his fellow pilots in gliding competions around the globe. Along with his brother and co director, Paul, he has been part of the Irish Gliding team competing at European and World Championship level for the past 15 years.

Steve lives with his wife Ania and little girl Hannah near Wroclaw. He loves the intelligence, humour and pragmatism that is Poland.
