Software that survives years in production
We build systems that other people will maintain. That changes how they get written.
Most of a system's cost is not in building it: it is in changing it over the following years. So we optimise for the next team understanding what is there, not for shipping fast and leaving the problem to someone else.
We built and operate ADN Vortex, a multi-tenant platform with thousands of devices reporting continuously. What we learned sustaining it is what we apply in our clients' projects.
What it includes
- New product from scratch, from idea to production
- Modernising existing systems without stopping the operation
- Integrations between systems never meant to talk to each other
- Multi-tenant platforms with real data isolation
- Native and cross-platform mobile applications
- High-volume real-time ingestion and processing
- Automated tests and continuous delivery from day one
How we do it
A stable team
We assign a team and do not rotate it. The cost of someone new understanding a complex system is high and the client pays it in time, so we avoid it.
Fortnightly deliveries
Every two weeks something is running in an environment you can use. There are no surprises at the end because there is no distant end.
The code is yours
Repository in your name from the first commit, architecture documentation and recorded decisions. If you change supplier tomorrow, you can.
When it makes sense
- What the market offers does not fit how your business runs
- You have a system that works but can no longer be modified
- You need to integrate systems reconciled by hand today
- You are launching a digital product and need a complete team
- A previous supplier delivered something nobody can maintain
Other practices
Consulting and transformation
Most projects that fail do not fail because of the code: they fail because nobody agreed which problem was being solved.
View →Data and artificial intelligence
Most data initiatives die in the pilot. Usually not because of the model, but because nobody settled where the data comes from or who maintains the result.
View →Product design and experience
An interface is judged by a tired user, in a hurry, with the sun in their eyes. Not on a presentation screen.
