We collaborate with our partners to build solutions as if they were our own. Through decades of experience, we've learned ideas are only valuable if translated into working solutions.
Our Expertise
-
Software Development
As software developers, we treat our partners’ products as our own. We believe the key to successful software development isn’t just finishing a project -- it’s delivering a product that can grow with your business. Whether we’re building greenfield applications or revitalizing legacy components, we rely on a process of pairing, testing, and code reviews to provide sustainable solutions.
Our development teams collaborate with our partners to identify opportunities including: programming language, tooling selection, architecture, and deployment approaches. Our teammates advocate for a culture of continuous improvement, test-driven development, and XP practices. We strive to build long-lasting, transparent relationships with our partners. We recognize our success is closely tied to our ability to support our partners’ vision.

Quality Engineering
Our Quality Engineers are champions of quality, not gatekeepers. We maintain multiple perspectives: the user’s, the business's, the developer’s, and the tester’s. We advocate for quality and execute on implementation. When we develop, we’re forecasting strategy, risk, and potential improvements. We’re continually innovating and expanding our testing knowledge across the full stack: code, infrastructure, documentation, and processes.
We empower our teams to own quality—we build our testing tools and techniques into the development process, ensuring consistent, high-quality output. We both “use the tools” and “write the tools,” automating wherever we can. Testing is not a role, but rather an activity that great teams build into every step of their processes.
-
DevOps
Our DevOps experts build reliable, observable, and maintainable products. We take ownership of the deployment pipeline to shorten the feedback loop. By leveraging infrastructure-as-code, cloud computing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery, we can perform consistent, frequent deployments while reducing service disruptions.
Our teammates approach all products with a DevOps mindset. Whether our partners have specific infrastructure goals or aren't sure where to start, we work together to build sustainable solutions. We treat our partners' applications and services as if they were our own. The first thing we do on a new partnership is set up the CI/CD, to ensure a deliverable solution and ongoing product success.
-
Data Analytics
Our Data Analytics experts empower teams to make data-driven decisions. Our analytics mindset impacts every phase of the software development life cycle. We believe that successful products can’t be built without considering analytics from the beginning.
Data Analytics unlocks the power of data to inform business decisions and streamline processes. We interact with multiple teams and stakeholders to understand the data vision for both short- and long-term success. We use metrics to provide insight to prioritize current work and to guide future product enhancements.

Machine Learning
According to Dr. Bratin Saha, VP AI & ML at AWS: "ML isn't the future anymore. ML is critical to innovation today". These models are used in recommender systems, chat bots, self-driving vehicles, object detection, and medical diagnostics to just scratch the surface.
Our Machine Learning experts are able to deliver descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive models with software engineering best practices, accelerating delivery of valuable insights. We train and release models to production with a test-first approach. We create CI/CD pipelines and enable monitoring thereby preventing defects from making it to production.

Agile Coaching
As technology consultants, we have guided organizations of all sizes through their Agile transformation. Our Agile Coaches work closely with our partners to help plan the transition, educate teams, and accelerate results.
-
User Experience
Our User Experience experts advocate for the user during every step of the software development process. We bridge the gap between users and code. Our teams take ownership of the entire experience. We start with user research to better understand the end user and their needs. Frequent usability testing tightens feedback loops, maintaining agility and ensuring we're building the right thing at the right time.
User-focused design increases engagement, efficiency, reduces errors, and provides clarity to increase overall productivity and meet business goals. We strive to create a product that your internal and external customers want to use.

Industrial Manufacturing
Case StudyExpanding Brand Recognition with a Mobile App
PROBLEM: Our partner is a global process control manufacturer that heavily invests in custom solutions. Their products reduce noise, noticeable vibration, and wear-and-tear, resulting in longevity and enhanced performance. Currently, there are no mobile solutions for these products. Their marketing team was concerned that there wasn’t enough brand awareness within the market and sought to increase adoption with a mobile app.
SOLUTION: After extensive user research, our team determined it was necessary to develop both an iOS and Android mobile application. These two solutions give users access to product information and provide descriptions for the most common issues/terms. It also includes a sizing program to help users pick the right product for their environment. This application has been adopted worldwide and is currently being used in 32 different countries.

Case StudyBuilding APIs to Connect Your Business
PROBLEM: Our partner has an internal tool used by marketing for customers to purchase software. As business needs have changed, the amount of flexibility needed for new products and marketing initiatives has increased. The current application is built upon monolithic architecture, which prevents flexibility and the necessary agility to compete in today’s market.
SOLUTION: Our team created a new application utilizing a microservice architecture to act as RESTful APIs. This design reduces code complexity, allows rapid changes, decreases response time, and provides a high level of reliability. With this new platform, the team was able to automate several manual processes, reduced errors, and allowed marketing to set up new incentives in minutes. We also added additional functionality that resulted in market penetration and increased sales.

Insurance Industry
Case StudyModernizing Legacy Workflow with Realtime Delivery
PROBLEM: Our partner is a global insurance company that provides policies to individuals and organizations. We worked with a division that provides term policies. Their customers were frustrated with the lengthy sign-up process, which typically took over three weeks. This manual process had a high error rate which compounded with high-material shipping and processing costs.
SOLUTION: By integrating modern solutions with existing legacy systems, our team collaborated with key stakeholders to create an e-signature platform that digitizes and optimizes the managed-delivery process. This allows end-users to receive documents electronically, resulting in a 66% reduction of processing time. This platform reduced cost, saving the partner over $10k a week on printing alone. As of today, 75% of all policy packets are being delivered electronically.
