May 2024: SPBUG: Swiss User Group
At OCS, we love getting together with our colleagues and our community. In May 2024, some of our team had a great day at the Swiss PowerBuilder Users Group meeting. During this event, our colleague, Matthew Green gave a short presentation titled "Can OpenAI be useful in my PowerBuilder Application?" It was an original idea that generated a lot of interest and highlighted the versatility of PowerBuilder!

February 2024: OCS and Zeenyx
We're proud to announce OCS's partnership with Zeenyx Ascential Test.

At OCS we have experience of several automated testing tools, but in a recent project we utilised Ascential Test and were thrilled with the results, so a partnership seemed like a must!
