No limits to complexity

We believe that starting some level of complexity the low-code or no-code platforms are not suitable. It is just a matter of time that the coding requirement will appear and then the platforms will prevent employing standard developers with standard skills. Examples of this type of vendor-lock are many:

• CRM systems such as Dynamics or Salesforce
• Ticketing systems such as ServiceNow
• RPA low-code solutions such as UiPath

Our Approach

While above systems are great for the UI they provide we rather focus on optimising the developer experience and sustainability in terms of having access to a larger resource pool. To do so, the goal is to find the right balance between:

• As much native programming language as possible
• A framework that simplifies coding to maximum

Why us

• We operate our RPA solution and have great results in terms of reliability and total cost of ownership
• We have experience delivering automation from business analysis to operations
• We can handle lack of internal analysts capacity

Everybody waits on others

Test environments are in the center of application delivery and materialise all issues related to collaboration between teams:

• Testers depend on developers
• Developers depend on site reliability engineers
• Teams depend on each other

Almost everybody understands the far concept of:

• Continuous deployment
• Ephemeral test environments to test any increment in isolation

… we are not there in general 😢

Our Approach

Next to dreaming of the perfect, we like to put things in order step by step:

• Ensure proper CI/CD but not only to the digital newcomers but to all applications impacting the landscape
• Ensure proper responsibility split to maintain environments
• Agree on a test data strategy and execute it
• Apply similar monitoring and observability for test environments as production has (or should have)
• Leverage automated tests not only to measure quality of delivery but to contribute to the monitoring stake

It is usually a lot of work and one needs to stay focused.

Why us

• We have long track record of solving problems with test environments
• We have all capabilities combined in a single team to tackle any aspects of the problem
• We maintain an up-to-date modern vision of best-practices on how to achieve results in this extra-difficult topic

State of mind, skills and time

It’s state of mind to stop consider the legacy applications as evil and to focus on the problems and find solutions.

The challenge here is more about finding people that would agree to work with older technology yet find creative solutions. Teams taking care of the legacy systems are indeed busy with operating them and hence for them it is more difficult to dig new ideas.

Our Approach

Our approach is to consistently dig problems:

• Define goals
• Understand how technology works
• Find create solutions
• Run PoCs
• Implement and handover

Why us

• We have built a team of all-round hackers able and willing to take similar challenges
• We can go low-level in technological matters
• We have experience to keep focus on higher-level results
• We are easy to work with and can liaise with your legacy teams
