Old but not useless

Evolve your existing systems.

Your current business systems got you where you are today, whether it is an old desktop application or traditional paper forms, your business has succeeded because of them. But now is the time to modernize and evolve.

Our modernization services include everything from the software itself to the training of the new software and operations.We analyze what you currently have, speak to the ones who depend on it and use it everyday, identify the gap to get you to where you need to be, design and build the solution, provide training, documentation and maintenance services.

Say goodbye to overages and surprise costs.

Over 2 decades we developed a method that has been proven to modernize legacy systems while controlling the runaway costs that you would normally see. Because our pricing model is fixed cost based, meaning we give you a price after a very detailed analysis and a phased evolution towards the final result, you will never be surprised.

Evolution based development

What does this mean? Well we evolve your current systems if they can be (you have the source code). In such a situation, we start the modernization process by changing the how the business logic would be executed into an API-Microservices based architecture and apply it to your existing system. Following that, we start working on the user interface if necessary and deliver it piecemeal as we complete each unit of work. You get to see the product and use it as we progress, this also allows you to make certain changes to the future scope of work should you need to.

Business Analysis

Technology succeeds when it is designed for your current and future business needs. 

Through a very detailed analysis and study of your needs as well as stakeholder and employee interviews to identify the gap we need to cross, we come up with a very good understanding of your business.

With that information, we move to the solution design phase.

Buy vs Build

We live in the golden age of software so before we get ahead of ourselves and invest in a custom built solution, we take a look and see what can be bought and modified.

It is possible that an open source system already exists or there is a company willing to sell their software at a fraction of the cost it would take to build something new.

We don’t just do a couple of google searches!

We study the market, contact the vendors, evaluate the technology in-line with your needs, evaluate its growth potential so you are not stuck with something unmaintainable in a few years and recommend our findings.

Full-Stack Solution Design

In order to design a great solution and mitigate runaway costs, we spend an enormous amount of time designing the solution properly from interface to database and everything in between.

This phase is executed after a thorough business analysis and buy vs build research to make sure that we find the best solution for you and the lowest price.

We design everything, not just how it looks (UI), but how it will be used (UX), the business rules and how they will get executed (API, Microservices), the database (Data) and how it will grow.

And finally, we create the user and administrative documentation as well as provide training.

Our work however is not done at delivery, we remain present for maintenance by us or by your internal team.

Engineering phase

Now that the solution has been design and approved by all the stakeholders, we can start the engineering phase.

Depending on your needs, we would have designed a specific architecture and the use of a particular language. 

The technology, architecture, language that we will use will be selected based on the skillset of your internal resources (for maintenance if you choose) and the resource availability in your local market. Following that, we choose the technologies that make the most sense for your solution.

Our engineering process is meticulous, as we pride ourselves on expert grade engineering, code commenting, documentation and following all the proper engineering guidelines, methodologies, patterns and practices that will deliver the best result.

 

Post-Delivery

We are not done at solution delivery, once we put the solution live, if you need to we can operationalize it and make sure that it runs smoothly. 

Whether you require an on-premise data center or a cloud based one, we offer an end-to-end white glove technology delivery service so you only need to care about your business and not the technology.

Maintenance and continued improvements:
Now that you are live and benefitting from the solution we built and delivered. It will be business as usual to maintain and grow the system as your employees and managers will need more features and functionality to reflect the reality on the ground.

 Systems designed to evolve
We know full well that you will have to make changes, that is why we design all of our solutions to evolve with you at minimal effort and cost.

If we can reduce a cost for you, we pride ourselves when we can and strive to do so.

Hand-off to your internal team

At some point, it will make more sense for your organization to have an internal team handle the maintenance for your product.

If you choose to move development in-house, it will be a perfect transition. We will design the organizational structure, hire the right people, define the processes and execute a phased transition to your internal team.

We will always be there to support you and augment any skill shortage you may have.

This is what we call our client first approach, we deeply care about your success.
