Software engineering and enterprise integration
We design, build, test and deploy the software your processes need, and we connect it to the systems you already run. One team owns the application and its integrations, from the first interface contract to production support.
Discuss your situation
Describe the systems involved and what you want to change. An engineer replies within one business day.
Scope of the service
Custom application development
Web applications, internal tools, portals and services built to your requirements, with automated tests and documented deployment.
Enterprise integration
Interfaces between ERP, CRM, finance, document management and line-of-business systems using APIs, events and managed file transfer.
Data flows and reporting
Governed data pipelines that move information between systems on schedule, with monitoring and reconciliation built in.
Modernisation of existing applications
Incremental replacement of ageing systems, keeping the business running while functionality moves to a maintainable platform.
Your existing systems, one governed integration layer.
How clients usually start
New application
Discovery, design, build and launch of a purpose-built application with a defined operating model after go-live.
Integration programme
Connecting a new platform to the existing estate, or replacing point-to-point interfaces with a governed integration layer.
Embedded engineering team
Engineers who work inside your delivery organisation to add capacity while following your standards and ours.
What you can expect from the engagement
- 01
Interface contracts first
Data ownership, formats and error handling are agreed and documented before code is written, so integrations stay stable as systems change.
- 02
Testing as part of delivery
Automated unit, integration and acceptance tests run in a pipeline. Security testing and access reviews are included where the client requires them.
- 03
Operable from day one
Monitoring, alerting, runbooks and documentation ship with the software, so the same team or yours can operate it confidently.
Technology we work with in this area
Platform names are used descriptively. We select technology to fit your existing environment and the people who will maintain it.
Frequently asked
Which technologies do you build with?
We choose the stack to fit your environment and the people who will maintain it. Typical work uses TypeScript, .NET, Java and Python services, relational databases, and the integration and messaging services of AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
Do we own the source code?
Yes. Source code, infrastructure definitions, documentation and test suites are delivered to your repositories and are yours under the engagement terms.
How do you handle integrations with systems that have no API?
We use the most reliable interface available: database views, file exchange, scheduled exports or vendor connectors. Each is documented with its limitations and monitored in production.
What happens after go-live?
You can hand the application to your team with documentation and training, or we operate and improve it under a managed application service with agreed response times.
