To empower people to face their most important challenges using validated knowledge and technology.
We are agile and take pride in our craft.
Our approch to product engineering is centered on your needs. We take the time to reach a common understanding of your desired outcomes and learn your specialist language so we can communicate with your team in their own words. Our customer-focused approach is also reflected in how we write our contracts. Instead of traditional Time & Material contracts, which are opaque and often lead to cost overruns, we offer two alternative options to make it painless to fit our services into your product development piepline.
Fixed cost contracts
Fixed cost development contracts involve us getting to know your problem and scoping out a solution for you. We'll present you with a detailed proposal for the work, but we'll give you all the necessary rights to the proposal and design. You'll be able to share our quote with other providers if you want, so that if you think we're not competitive in our offer, the time we spend scoping things out together will still be useful and valuable to you.
Iterative contracts
This open-ended contract lets you pay per iteration on your product. At the end of each iteration, you'll be able to accpet the work and renew for another iteartion, accpet the work and stop forther development or simply pause development whilst you test out your new product. No matter what, you'll have working and documented software by the end of all iteration, so you can set the development cadence to suite your needs.
One of our key skills is in delvivering working and scalable solutions quickly. Often in a matter of days or weeks. With the benefits of our previous experience, we can take you from an initial idea to a production-ready version faster quick enough to respond to your market. We've delivered software that ran unchanged successfully in production for years after only a single week of development. We use reliable and tested tools and technology, and leave our projects well documented so that they can be picked up by your team or another contractor in the future.
Our teams also don't work on multiple project in parrallel, so you'll have our undivided atttention when we work on your project. That also helps us keep overhead and coordination costs low!
As part of our approach to creating technology solutions, we share our skills and knowledge widely with the community, because we think that making our ecosystem healthier and improving the skills of our customers, competitors and vendors leads to better outcomes for everyone. Our enginering staff are regular conference speakers and community organisers, giving back to their local community and the global community of software craftspeople.
We also love to share our knowledge commercially, and have a range of courses that we can deliver to upskill your team. We cover a broad area in our training portfolio, from leadership and product management, to in-depth technical courses. If you can't find what you're looking for, we're also very open to creating a bespoke training course to fit your needs, time and budget.
