Our
Key Focus

We deliver entire IT projects, we share the risk

We are focussed on delivery. Our entire business is built around it. We don’t have a HR, procurement, or IT departments. We have pods. Each pod is a fully independent team that is designed to deliver for you whilst removing all common blockers.

Our commercial models supports this. We share the risk with you. We’re not here to bill you by the day – we’re here to deliver. Whatever goal you are working towards – we can make it happen.

Requirements
Analysis

Understanding your business makes the difference between having some software delivered and having the software you need delivered. The first part of any engagement is to truly understand your needs and to translate those into requirements.

We have in-house analysts and change transformation experts
We understand your needs
We can confirm or define your requirements depending on where you are in your project

Whether you’ve already got a project brief or whether you’re just starting to define your needs – we can help. We can run this as part of a large project or we can help you get your footing whilst you decide what to do next.

Software
Development

Most of our projects come down to creating software for our clients. No two projects are the same and we’ve worked on everything from simple mobile apps to large backend systems that handle hundreds of concurrent internal users with millions of transactions.

We excel at large, complex systems
Experts in cloud and on-premise architectures
Desktop, web and mobile capabilities

Whether you’re looking to launch a new consumer platform that will handle millions of users or to move your core line of business application that has decades of legacy to the cloud – we can help. Our team of developers and expert architects will find the right solutions to your problems.

Software
Maintenance

Software is very rarely done. Requirements change, bugs are found, regulations impact the flow of your system, the world keeps moving. As well as delivering greenfield systems we can help you maintain and improve on your current systems.

Small tactical improvements projects
On-going support and maintenance
Greenfield rewrites of a legacy system

Whatever your maintenance needs are - we can put together a team to help.

Testing

Testing isn’t just the thing that’s done after development. It’s key to the success of your project. Good testing doesn’t just increase quality – it reduces your ongoing maintenance costs and removes the risk from your project.

Manual testing
Automated user interface and API testing
Performance and security testing

All our deliveries come with testing. We work with you to determine the best level of testing for your project. Our testing integrates directly into the delivery pipeline so that you can constantly see the progress of your delivery and see how we manage quality on your behalf.

Delivery
Team

It’s not just our analysts, architects, developers, or testers that make us special. Its our teams. Putting together a software development team is about more than picking a handful of people and throwing them on a project. It’s about selecting the right people to work together and having them work to deliver as one team.

We select the right people for your project
Our teams work together, not for themselves
Each pod is fully responsible for its own success

Our structure empowers our people to deliver for you. By taking a full development team from us we can deliver a project that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Change
Management

Pre and post release user management to ease the transition from the As Is to the To Be way of working. We believe that no technology is delivered until it is fully utilised.

Throughout the project we work closely with your users to build a relationship
We make sure everyone is ready for a release to make sure there are not unexpected surprises
Our teams ensure that you land each release successfully

A release is about much more than putting some new software out into the wild. It's about ensuring that your users understand the change, making sure that you've considered all dependencies and building trust with all stakeholders.

Internal Systems

We’ve worked on dozens of different internal systems that support thousands of users each day. Each system is different, filled with business rules and complex.

We understand the complexities of integrating with dozens of disparate internal systems that may be controlled by other business units. We don’t just work with your technology; we work with your business structure to make sure that what we deliver works for you.

We love creating desktop applications. Websites are great, but they’re limited. Whether it’s for Windows, Linux or MacOS or a cross-platform project we can help with desktop applications. We’ve worked with clients for years creating complex desktop applications.

Trading clients, reporting dashboard, workflow management, retail point of sale and factory management systems are just some of what we’ve created before.

Azure Migration

Moving to Azure can be as simple as “lift and shift”, but it often isn’t. There’s a lot to consider when defining your new architecture – but during a transitional state and for the long term. The wrong decisions can end up costing you financially with high on-going costs.

Our experts can help plan and manage your migration to Azure smoothly.

Blockchain

We’ve been doing blockchain for years. We know our smart contracts from our consensus algorithms. We’ve worked with all the major blockchains and have developed digital ledgers, payment systems, exchanges, smart contracts and more. We understand the unique security threats that can be posed by these systems.

When your business is ready to look at blockchain, we can help.

Hardware Integration

Barcode scanners, robots, sensors, card printers, smartcard encoders, scales. The list goes on. Many businesses have unique hardware that they need to integrate with in their business. Whether it’s serial, networked or USB we’ve got experience.

Integrating hardware can be tough but our team have worked integrating dozens of different device categories over the years and understand the complexities that can arise.

Performance and

Supporting a large system with a growing user base isn’t easy. We understand how to help you with your scaling problems. Whether you’re designing something to handle millions of transactions a day or thousands of concurrent read-only users – we understand the differences.

Scaling out, scaling up, caching, geo-redundancy, data replication, WORM. We’ve given legacy systems new leases of life and purpose-built large systems.
