What we do - IT Consultancy
We offer a range of consulting services to help you build successful websites and the teams and processes that produce them.
We can take a purely advisory role, or work within your team to help make the changes needed.
We can help you:
- Select technologies suitable to your requirements
- Build effective development teams
- Design your systems for stability, growth and to suit your business processes
- Automating your test and deployment processes
- Delivering websites quickly and reliably
Selecting a Technology
We can help you choose which technologies to use, making our recommendations based on your unique requirements.
When we recommend a technology we look at the culture surrounding the language and the tools and frameworks available, as well as the current toolset your company uses. Judicious use of frameworks can vastly reduce the effort and time and expense needed to complete a project.
Software Architecture
We can help you design your systems so that:
- They integrate smoothly with other systems, and deal well with failure in those systems
- They scale
- They are secure from attack and abuse
- They load quickly for geographically diverse users
- They are simple to develop new functionality for
Software that serves you, not owns you
We can help you to design software to ensure that it serves not only the needs of your customers, but also your business processes.
For example, say your Design team has separate priorities from your Development team. We can help you structure your software and deployment process to ensure that both teams are free to get on with what’s important for them.
Fast, Reliable Delivery
By helping you select the most appropriate technology and tools, we can help you deliver working websites quickly, and ensure that future design and development changes are quick and easy to make.
Often overlooked, development tools like source control, build automation, automated testing and deployment make a big difference to the success of a project. We will help you to pick the right ones and ensure that your software is designed to make best use of them from the word go.
When properly set up, this can allow instant deployment of content and design changes that need only minimal testing, whilst putting development changes through rigorous testing.
