Experienced & Proven

Collaborative Alliance

In order to develop a custom business software solution that perfectly matches the wants and needs of your organisation, we aim to collaborate with your key stakeholders and project leads from the offset to gain a clear understanding of you business processes, operations and workflows, in order to ensure that each piece of functionality is clearly aligned with your business objectives. This focus on collaboration continues throughout the development life-cycle of your bespoke business system through constant communication streams to ensure clarity of new and existing requirements.

Collaborative Alliance

Transparent Processes

We believe that the key to a successful bespoke business system development project is the use of a transparent approach, allowing you full visibility across software development projects. We allow you to choose the level of engagement most appropriate to your position and circumstance; from participating in planning sessions, to reviewing feature backlogs and test results, with the use of platforms such as Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services to enable you to track development progress, clarify requirements, provide feedback and suggest changes and additions to the project.

Transparent Processes

Agile Method

We use an agile project management approach to developing bespoke business software projects, as we understand that change may happen as a natural part of the development process, as with working in changing organisations; specifically we use the agile framework Scrum. We believe that the key to a successful custom business software development project is the ability to plan for this change, whether this be a change in the marketplace, a change in business processes or a change as a result of feedback from a prototype, the agile method allows us to adapt as required.

Agile Method

Business-Critical Support

Within the process of bespoke business software development, we understand that in the majority of cases we are dealing with an organisation's business-critical data and processes, therefore we focus on providing a high level of support from the offset of the project. Our focused support includes working with customers to define documentation, deployment and training strategies, including staged roll-outs prior to release; as well as ongoing dedicated support after the project is live, in order to ensure optimum performance and continuity of business-critical processes.

Onshore Resources

We are a UK based bespoke business software development company, with all of our development teams designing, building and supporting our innovative and robust custom business software solutions here in the UK, at either our Leeds or London offices. We believe there is benefit to having a development partner here in the UK, as working in the same country, on the same timescales, provides us with the strong framework to handle the adaptive nature of agile bespoke business software development projects, with the ability to ensure that all key members of the project can easily collaborate and communicate with each other.

Why Team Alignment Determines Whether Technology Projects Succeed
Why Team Alignment Determines Whether Technology Projects Succeed
Adam Stirk - 25/03/2026
Decades of research across tens of thousands of projects point to team alignment as the root cause of failure. This article examines why alignment failures are so common, how they compound over time, and what engineering leaders can do to build the single-team model that is the strongest predictor of project success.
Non-Functional Testing in the Cloud-Native Era
Non-Functional Testing in the Cloud-Native Era
Rhys Smith - 24/03/2026
Cloud-native architectures have changed the landscape of software quality. This article examines the five dimensions of non-functional testing that matter most in cloud-native environments: performance, resilience, security, observability, and accessibility, and what engineering leaders need to consider to address them.
Why AI Projects Fail to Scale: The Five Root Causes
Why AI Projects Fail to Scale: The Five Root Causes
Adam Brookes - 23/03/2026
More than 80% of AI projects fail which is twice the rate of non-AI IT projects. This article explores the five reported consistent root causes of this failure: starting with technology instead of a business problem, weak executive sponsorship, poor data readiness, no path to production, and treating AI like a traditional IT project.
Testing AI: How to Effectively Evaluate LLMs
Testing AI: How to Effectively Evaluate LLMs
Richard Brown - 02/03/2026
This article examines why traditional software testing falls short for LLM-powered systems and what organisations need to do differently. It covers the scale of the hallucination problem, evaluation approaches for RAG and agentic AI systems, the emerging regulatory requirements around AI testing, and how engineering leaders can build the evaluation capability needed to deploy AI responsibly.
