Up to 70% of application development projects fail.  Caro Systems helps enterprises improve their application development process by ensuring they are properly defining, designing, developing, and delivering effective business application solutions, resulting in successful projects. 

Since its inception in 1997, Caro has had a 100 per cent delivery success rate on all projects they have managed, largely due to the experience of company principals in projects as complex as the CBS Broadcast Management system, and the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). 

The company provides active leadership in application development best practices and passes that expertise on to clients who are implementing new applications or processes through resource mentoring.

Management Team

Caro's management team has an established reputation for exemplary project management, business analysis and application design expertise, and previously played senior roles at IBM, Ernst and Young, and, Royal Bank.   

Caro was one of the first companies in Canada to achieve Value Added Partner status with IBM's Rational certification program, and the only Canadian based company included in the Rational Subject Matter Expert program.

Our Name

The name CARO comes from the elements involved in developing a strong application development foundation: components, architecture, reusability, and objects, and was inspired by the work of Sir Anthony Caro, an artist who worked with a diverse range of materials to produce sculpture that immediately engages the viewer. In the same way, Caro's application development projects are developed with the user at the core of the process.

The company's methodology unifies best practices from many disciplines into a consistent full lifecycle process, including focusing time and energy in the Definition and Architecture phases in order to ensure project success.  Caro believes the best way to build enterprise-wide business applications is to assemble them from reusable components. Using proven large grain business components allows the client to realize a higher quality product earlier and makes better use of human resources.
