Web applications, mobile applications, applications that integrate with existing systems, and custom APIs.

The best software is almost never as obvious as it seems – but it is always something that our clients recognize when they see it.

The Process

Step 1: Understand the Challenge

Software exists at the confluence of the common and the extraordinary. Each problem we solve, and every company we work with is both unique and facing common challenges. We start by developing a clear understanding of your business and needs. No matter where you are in your process, we can help to bring clarity and mutual understanding – with the objective of creating a shared specification. You know your business best!

Step 2: Design the Solution

In most cases, the second phase results in the development of close to perfect wireframes detailing a solution that we have collaborated with you to create. By doing this, we are able to rapidly co-develop, brainstorm, and test out ideas before making costly development mistakes.

The best software is almost never as obvious as it seems – but it is always something that our clients recognize when they see it, and this phase makes that possible before committing to development.

Step 3: Write the Code

The time saved and the clarity gained by the first two steps in our process really pays off when we begin to write the software. Technology decisions are easier to make, course correction a less likely, and scope creep is all but eradicated. At this stage, we are bringing the software to life.

Step 4: And Then We launch!

Which really means we go through rounds of testing and revisions as required. Here we are honing the software, making any changes that are necessary, and making sure that it is ready for prime time.

Step 5: Rinse, Repeat

I am sure you have heard that software is never truly done. It is important to understand that keeping things up to date is an necessary and ongoing process. When we take on a client, it is with this understanding. How long between revisions and updates? Well, that is up to you. We'll work with you to put the best plan possible in place.

We don't just code and run! Our clients stay with us for the long haul, and we commit to their success.
