Software development and integration
Software Built Around How Your Business Works.

- Enterprise integrationFinance, sales, operations and HR systems connected without retyping.
- Database applicationsSpreadsheets and access databases rebuilt as supported applications.
- Application modernisationOlder applications moved to supported, maintainable technology.

Example engagements
How this usually looks.
Illustrative scenarios that show how an engagement is shaped. They are examples, not completed client projects.
Illustrative scenario
Outsourced Software Development
- Business challenge
- A company has a clear need for a customer portal but no developers, and cannot wait for a full hiring cycle.
- Proposed solution
- A dedicated team of a product lead, developers and a tester, working to an agreed scope and reporting to the company.
- Delivery approach
- Requirements written as testable stories, delivery in short reviewed increments, and a release process set up from the start.
- Intended outcome
- A working portal owned by the company, with code, documentation and access in its name.
Illustrative scenario
Enterprise Application Integration
- Business challenge
- Sales, finance and operations each keep their own system, and staff retype orders and invoices between them.
- Proposed solution
- Documented interfaces between the systems, so each record is entered once and flows to where it is needed.
- Delivery approach
- Map the data and the handoffs, build and test the integrations one flow at a time, and monitor them after go-live.
- Intended outcome
- Fewer errors, less retyping and one set of numbers that the departments agree on.
