Client Stories
We are trusted technology strategy providers for CEOs of mid-market businesses. Read our client case studies to find out more...
Read moreIt’s actually quite common for a bespoke software project to get stuck. The complexity of assembling the team, designing the software, selecting suppliers, and launching the product is so great it can be overwhelming. And due to that complexity, the cost of bespoke software can be quite high.
But our IT leaders are experts in bespoke software projects. They know how to streamline the process, control costs, and deliver a project that adds value.
For some clients, we oversee software that allows them to radically alter how they work. We’ve helped them reduce costs, improve cycle times, and transform customer service.
In other cases, we drive software projects that create entirely new revenue streams and differentiate our clients in crowded marketplaces.
A few specific examples of bespoke software projects we develop:
Many of our IT leaders are experts in software development for internal systems or for commercial product development.
We ensure the system strategy is clear and oversee the architecture and design decisions.
We recruit a team or find a development partner, ensure they follow engineering best practices, and oversee rigorous project management and testing.
In this way, we ensure an efficient process with manageable costs and eliminate the possibility of a ‘stuck’ project.
Our IT leaders will also, of course, oversee user engagement. We make changes to process and to the organisation when necessary.
For commercial products, we take part in discussions about pricing, partnerships, and other go-to-market questions.
The key is not only to ensure that the software works – we ensure that people use it in the right way, so that your business enjoys its full benefits.
Bespoke software development is an opportunity to build competitive advantage. It can benefit your business by differentiating it in a crowded market and adding real value.
When it’s done right, it also improves efficiency and productivity, and it can grow with your business, allowing for modifications as the need arises.
And yet we meet many businesses who have become embroiled in costly and complex software projects that have become a millstone for them.
