How We Work
-
Development ProcessOur software projects follow our propietary development process, which is a hybrid model that incorporates the best of both the traditional and agile worlds.
It is derived from industry-standard safety-critical development process frameworks to ensure that requirements are met, and deliverables are free of defects, and from agile frameworks to respond quickly to change requests.
Its core and supporting processes are lightweight, keeping process overhead and effort to an absolute minimum and project management agile.
-
Project FlowOur software development projects typically have 5 high-level phases, while the “Project Realization” phase is the one where the actual development takes place:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a technical application?
Technical applications are specialized software solutions designed to perform specific, often complex tasks that require a high level of technical expertise. These applications are typically used in fields such as engineering and manufacturing, among others, leveraging advanced technologies like machine learning, AI, blockchain, and IoT to solve industry-specific problems. Unlike general-purpose applications, which aim to optimize broader business processes, technical applications address intricate engineering challenges. Specialization in technical applications, backed by engineering expertise, ensures tailored solutions that deliver higher quality and more reliable outcomes compared to general software development services.
Do you offer individual or bundled services?
We offer both individual and bundled services to meet your specific needs. If you have a specific task that aligns with your goals, individual services may be the best option. However, if you’re looking for a comprehensive solution, our bundled services are designed to address your needs holistically. We typically start with a business analysis to determine your true needs and create a strategic plan to define the scope and mode of the project. Support services such as training or maintenance can always be provided at a later stage.
What is the typical duration of a development project?
The duration of a software development project typically ranges from a few weeks to several months, depending on its scope and complexity. The more detailed the initial requirements and constraints, the more accurately we can estimate the project timeline. However, external factors and change requests can significantly impact the timeline. Therefore, any initial time estimation should be considered a rough indicator.
How do you handle communication and reporting throughout the project?
Effective communication is critical to understanding the true needs of our clients. It is also important to ensure that the project remains aligned with its goals throughout the course of the development. We are committed to keeping our clients informed and providing them with the information they need to make the best decisions. Our communication strategy includes both live meetings and messaging. During the development phases, we prefer asynchronous communication for coordination and reporting, limiting live meetings to a necessary minimum to save our client’s valuable time.
What technologies do you use to develop software?
We are committed to delivering solutions that are tailored to the real needs of our clients and aligned with their objectives. Therefore, the choice of a technology stack depends on the specific solution to be built. Our process starts with defining the product goals and requirements. Next, we plan the product architecture, exploring multiple technology stack options. Finally, we select the most appropriate technology stack and adjust the architecture as needed. In general, we prefer well-established technologies to ensure reliability.
How do you ensure that the final product is flawless?
We are committed to excellence, especially in our deliverables. To ensure that products meet their requirements, we have a strong development process in place from the outset, laying the foundation for a bug-free approach. Once software, or parts of it, are created, we perform thorough testing procedures, such as module, integration, functional testing, and more. For change requests, we also perform impact analysis and regression testing to assess the impact on the existing system and ensure that changes do not introduce new problems.
How do you make sure that the final product meets my needs?
We prioritize a customer-centric approach, working closely with you to understand your requirements and goals. Regular feedback loops and iterative development throughout the project ensure that the final product aligns perfectly with your business needs. Our agile process accommodates changes in your objectives, allowing for necessary adaptations. Additionally, we offer post-launch maintenance services, including change requests, to keep your solution aligned with your evolving needs.
