We don’t want to brag, but we’re kind of experts at this.

When you engage us for Software Solutions you get access to our full range of expertise.

Software is everywhere. But that doesn’t make understanding it any easier. Our teams bring diverse expertise across all aspects of building, scaling, deploying, securing, and operating software.

Technologies

We have deep familiarity with numerous technologies, here’s a quick sample:

Full Stack Web Application Development

Need to build or expand a web application? There’s a lot of moving parts to a modern web application: user experience, device/mobile support, browser support, load time, server design & platform, API design, security, database selection, caching solutions, geo load balancing & redundancy, and more. Our goal to to understand what your business wants to accomplish and rapidly build a solution that meets your needs and maximizes the long term potential of your vision.

Network Automation

Let’s be honest: large scale networks are a pain to manage. Whether you are a data center, carrier, CDN, large corporation, or providing an innovative solution in the networking space; the means to manage networks are still concerning behind compared to other software fields. We provide custom software development & tooling to allow you to run your network the way you want. We have experience delivering solutions which provide business logic level transactions over networks and real time visibility into them.

User Interface & Experience (UI/UX) Design

Humans are complicated but creating the interfaces they use doesn’t have to be. We combine a strong background in UI/UX with an empathy based design approach. This helps ensure users’ design expectations are met across formats (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, point-of-sale, etc) and platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, etc). By working with you and your users we deliver solutions focused on user delight, intuitive layouts, and architectural simplicity.

Linux Engineering

Linux has become the standard operating system platform for servers, mobile, appliance, and IoT devices. It can also be a deeply complicated topic due to its many different distributions and vast arrays of tooling. We bring a mature background on designing and deploying Linux based solutions for uses ranging from handing internet traffic to doing real time network packet processing. We can help to maximize performance, harden security, automate delivery, and more.

Building & Packaging Automation

Delivery and lifecycle management of software is key with the rapid pace technology is changing. Many software products that use to be released once a year are now released once or more a week. Automated building & packaging of software which is designed for this rapid lifecycle is key to keeping up with this pace, however we’ve found many businesses and teams struggle with it. We design, deliver, and maintain solutions so your products can easily be shipped and upgraded with minimal overhead to your development team.

Realtime Network Packet Processing

Real time network packet processing is critical for any appliance providing a network function or security via traffic visibility. Building these solutions can require expertise in hardware component selection, operating system features, application design, real time systems principals, and performance profiling & tuning. We work with you every step of the way to ensure that the end result delivers the features you need, the performance you have to have, and the peace of mind that it’s built right.

Cloud Architecture

Clouds are amazing platforms for building and running your software services. They can also be overwhelming in features, have risk of “lock in” depending on which ones you choose, and cost you more money if you aren’t vigilant with your architecture. We aim to help you keep your cloud architecture clean, automation friendly, portable to other providers, and free of unnecessary expenses.

Service Design, Operation, & Indecent Response

Taking software code and turning it into a rock-solid global service can be daunting. The way services do their design, tooling, operation, and indecent response can be the difference between happy loyal customers and angry ones. We work with you to identify the best way to leverage our expertise & services with your workforce and software to give your service the stability it needs for your business to succeed.

Software Modernization

Software seems to be moving at a faster and faster pace each year. Often times this means that products which were cutting edge 5 or 10 years ago may be unacceptable to users and fail new compliance needs. This, however, doesn’t mean they don’t still have great business value and innovation. We work with you to build a long term plan for your software to become modernized and stay that way, then work with your workforce to make it happen.

Sustainability & Carbon Impact

Software runs on hardware, no matter the platform. And hardware tends to use a lot of electricity and be made of rare metals. We believe that all businesses will benefit from Triple Bottom Line approach where what’s best for your business long term is also best for our environment, resources, and society. No matter if you have strong social responsibility goals or want to make your first, we’re here to help. We can work with you to create sustainability, social responsibility, and carbon reductions plans and help your technical strategy and execution to align with them.

Hardware Sizing & Cost Optimization

The “Cloud” may seem hip, but plenty of business still spec, procure, operate, maintain, and deprecate massive amounts of server hardware. If you are one of these business and want to maximize your bang for buck, we can help. Decreasing your hardware purchased, improving power efficiency & density, better allocating workloads across it, and maximizing its lifespan all translate to dollars saved (and is greener, if you’re into that sort of thing).
