Canopus Research Inc. provides strategic market, industry, and technology research and analysis on the computer industry, software, the Internet, and the technologies of information. Our primary clients are leading industry vendors, large users of information technology, and members of the investment community. We cover a wide range of topics with a current emphasis on Internet-based social media, virtualization, and virtual reality worlds.
Canopus Research Inc. also offers software development services, increasingly specializing in PHP/MySQL projects building web sites requiring more than out-of-the box functionality from standard content management systems (CMS). We have done Microsoft Visual Studio based C# development for over a decade now, but our typical projects now involve customization and software development on a WordPress foundation, using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and Aptana Studio 3, though we also work with Drupal and Joomla.
Canopus Research also has subsidiary operations delivering local computer and networking services to homes and businesses south of Boston (Duxbury Computers) and bookkeeping and accounting services (Duxbury Bookkeeping). These operations also serve as, in effect, a ‘hands on’ research lab monitoring consumer trends in the use of information technology.
