Origins
Hillside Software was founded in Glasgow, Scotland in 1991. In the early nineties most of our work involved the design and development of software for real-time monitoring systems and scientific applications. However, over time, the volume of our management systems and information security management work has grown. Today, helping organizations to manage change programmes and, where appropriate, comply with relevant standards accounts for most of our business.
Management
The business is led by Richard Murray, one of the co-founders. Before founding Hillside Software, Richard was a Principal Consultant in a leading UK systems engineering company. He has extensive experience of software design and development in the aerospace, electrical power generation, oil & gas, and defence sectors. Using his extensive experience of developing and implementing working practices for software quality management and information security management, Richard was responsible for devising, and developing, Hillside's LOW-PAPER DIET™ approach to ISO 9001 compliance.
