Project management
Breaking down the bigger picture to define how your solution works. Waterfall or Agile — the right delivery approach for your needs, robustly executed. A structured approach is vital to every project we take on.
— Bespoke development
Everything a software project needs, under one roof
Analysis, project management, design, engineering, testing, integration and support. No sub-contracting — the team that scopes your project builds it, and answers the phone afterwards.
01 Capabilities
Nine disciplines, one delivery team
Most projects draw on several of these at once. You are never buying a single skill in isolation, and you are never managing the seams between suppliers.
Business analysis
From technology consulting and business analysis through to QA, application maintenance and solution integration — all built on a deep understanding of what the business actually needs.
Front end development
We use a wide range of front end technologies to build and deliver our solutions. Think of us as the special effects department — great customer experiences, backed by solid methodology.
.NET development
Bringing an effective, well designed interface together with your existing or new technology platforms to deliver a joined-up experience. Simple, elegant answers to complex technical problems.
Mobile development
With mobile, being clear on the target audience comes first. We work out whether you need something purpose-built for mobile, or a website that simply behaves responsively.
Quality assurance
We are passionate about the details so you can enjoy the overall product. Dedicated testers, not developers checking their own work — our passion for quality sits at the heart of everything.
System integration
We know how to harness different technologies and integrate them seamlessly, delivering individualised software at whatever scale you are operating.
Training & support
Your teams need to be confident using the tools in their solution. Knowledge transfer is how new software actually gets embedded in an organisation rather than worked around.
Application maintenance
Ongoing support and maintenance so your applications keep running smoothly, with regular updates, security patching and steady improvement.
02 How we work
Six stages, and you are involved in all of them
Whether the project runs Waterfall or Agile the shape is the same. What changes is how often we loop.
Discover
We sit with the people who do the work and map how the service runs today — including the spreadsheets and workarounds nobody mentions in the specification.
Define
Business analysis turns that into a clear scope: what the system must do, what it must report, who needs access to what, and what success looks like in numbers.
Design
Interface and data design in parallel. You see screens early — we would rather redraw a design than rebuild a system.
Build
Development in short, visible increments. We share screenshots and working software as it lands, so there are no surprises at the end.
Assure
Independent QA against the agreed scope, plus your own user acceptance testing with real data and real staff before anything goes near production.
Deploy & support
Migration with history intact, training for your teams, then ongoing support and development as the service and its reporting requirements change.
You always see it early
Screens and working software are shared as they land, not revealed at the end of the project.
Independent testing
Dedicated QA staff, so nobody is marking their own homework before it reaches you.
Your data, migrated whole
Legacy history comes across intact — reporting continuity matters as much as the new build.
We stay afterwards
Support, training and further development as your service and its returns change.
03 Technology
The right tools, not the newest ones
We work primarily in the Microsoft stack because it is what your IT department already supports, secures and understands. In a public sector estate that matters far more than fashion.
Frontend
Interfaces your staff can use at speed
Vue.js
JavaScript
TypeScript
HTML5
CSS3
Backend & platform
Enterprise-grade application frameworks
ASP.NET
C#
MVC
Web API
Entity Framework
.NET
Data
Reliable storage, and reporting you can trust
SQL Server
T-SQL
SSRS
Data migration
Cloud & infrastructure
Scalable hosting, UK data residency
Microsoft Azure
App Services
Azure SQL
DevOps
Certified processes
ISO 27001 for information security and ISO 9001 for quality management, both independently audited.
Health data ready
Cyber Essentials Plus and DSPT completed — the baseline for working with NHS organisations.
Data stays in the UK
Hosting and support are both UK based, with no offshore development.
Proven at scale
The same stack runs 1S4H and Health Checks for services across the country.
