Building SOFTware is HARD!
But why is that?
Because software is, in its nature, fundamentally different from things that we can build, like, let’s say, a house.
Once we build a house, changing it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. We better get the requirements right before we start.
Software is more like a living thing. The requirements will change constantly – and the development approach needs to acknowledge that.
That’s why we like to compare software to plants.
Instead of trying to BUILD it, we GROW it.
Over the last 20+ years, we’ve been developing software for companies across many industries – from small startups to large Fortune 100 enterprises.
Our code and know-how power software products at companies like:
Here are a few things that our clients appreciate about working with us:
- the best possible solution for their end-users
- significant risk reduction of their project being a failure
- features on a weekly basis without losing momentum
What distinguishes us from other software developers is the development practices we choose:
Early & Continuous Feedback
Delivering software in weekly increments allows our clients to take it to the end-users, collect feedback, and react to changing requirements before it’s too late.
Value Prioritization & Emergent Design
Focussing on the most complex aspects and critical features first ensures our clients have something useful – even if time or budget runs low towards the end of the project.
Test Automation & Continuous Delivery
Automating repetitive tasks like testing and deployment keeps the costs low so that our clients can avoid paying more and more while getting less and less as the complexity of the software grows.
Continuous Refactoring & Test-first Programming
Cleaning up the code and keeping it maintainable long-term is built right into our development process and is not an afterthought. That avoids having to rewrite the software after a couple of years.
Sounds interesting?
We’ve been sharing these skills with our clients and trained over 500 software engineers in delivering better software faster. We bridge the talent gap and help our clients to:
- Skill-up individuals or whole teams – while working on their product
- Staff-up with excellent Software Engineers we create from scratch
If you are unhappy with your staff’s Software Delivery Performance, we’d love to discuss how we can help.
Let’s have a chat. 😀
