Building SOFTware is HARD!
But why is that?
Because software is, in its nature, fundamentally different from things that you can build like, let’s say, a house.
Once you build a house, changing it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. You better get the requirements right before you 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, GROW it.
What distinguishes us from other custom software developers is the development practices we choose.
Over the last 20+ years, we’ve been developing software for companies across many industries – from small startups to large Fortune 100 enterprises.
The code and know-how of our software engineers powers software products at companies like:
Here are a few things that our clients appreciate about working with us:
- they get the best possible solution for their end-users
- the risk of their project being a failure is significantly reduced
- they get features on a weekly basis without losing momentum
- we can train their staff in the latest tech stack and development approach
We achieve this by consistently applying Agile and Lean principles such as:
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 Priotization & Emergent Design
Focussing on the most complex aspects and the most 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 don’t have to pay 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 is built right into our development process and not an afterthought. That avoids having to rewrite the software after a couple of years.
So, if you need some custom web application or cloud service development and value early end-user feedback and long-term maintainability, we’d love to discuss how we can help.
Let’s have a chat. 😀
