Our Services
Thoughtful, engaged delivery
Our clients require agility, curiosity, and active participation from their technology partners. We're engaged by interesting challenges and the opportunity to flex our creative muscles.
We help our clients understand how to design and apply effective UX, robust architecture, and targeted data analytics, or what we call “interact, transact, and extract”. We consider how each of these influences the overall value generated by the solution, helping our clients to unearth opportunities they may not have contemplated.
We offer starter packages to help our clients begin to explore value-generating opportunities without breaking the bank. These customizable packages represent what 1–2 people can confidently accomplish in 2–3 weeks.

Software Security and CI/CD Assessment
What It Is
With the proliferation of cloud native environments, API-driven architectures, containers, and microservices, application security has taken on a new dimension. In fact, conventional application security protocols are unable to keep pace with the progress in DevOps and software architecture. Are your security policies and tests being applied consistently to every build? Are your artifact and release repositories vulnerable to intrusion of malicious code? An independent assessment on your DevOps practice, CI/CID pipelines and tools will evaluate your custom application’s security stance, compliance and vulnerabilities.
- Eliminate vulnerabilities early in the development cycle

We wear many tools on our belt.
Because we're not aligned with any one technology, we're not constrained by inappropriate choices. We mix and match, mash up, and inter-operate, and if we can't find the right technology for you, we build it custom. We operate this way because this is what a custom solution requires.
This underpins our service delivery, and provides forward momentum for the joint team.
