Specialisms

Of course, we judge every project on its own merits and give it the solution it deserves. But it helps to know where we're past masters, from dealing with sensitive data to our cloud native creds. Let's chat about your next project

Show of strengths

To get a feel for the tools we use and what we can do, here’s a whistle stop tour of our main specialisms.

Tackling the tough jobs

Sensitive data

Our customers include legal, medical, and financial specialists, who trust us to create software complete with the most robust protection against fraud and attacks.

If you work in a regulated industry or have particular needs when it comes to information security, we can help.

Accreditations

Our certification includes some of the most stringent security requirements in the UK: ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and registration with the NHS DSP Toolkit.

In practice, that means we securely create products that use and organise health records, legal files and financial information.

Cloud native

Scalability

Dial resources up or down, depending on what you need – in other words, right-size. There’s no danger of hitting a capacity ceiling, so your application will always be able to do what you need it to.

Cost-effective

Linked to scalability, the
pay-as-you-go model means you’re only charged for the resources you actually use. And we’ll help you to manage that cost, so you know what to expect and how to plan for it.

High availability

Is it vital that your system doesn’t go down? Cloud-native applications bring the availability reassurance you’re looking for.

Performance

Fast, easy to iterate and accessible, cloud-native development provides the performance you and your customers demand.

Our go-to digital toolkit

React

Our whole team is skilled in React, which we use extensively to build single-page applications. With beautiful front-end design and easy-to-update functions , it’s particularly useful for new, mobile-first and responsive uses.

Django

Django, along with its related content management system Wagtail, is a key tool we often use when cloud-native scalability isn't a priority. It's a trusted standard for web apps, particularly when it comes to CRUD (create, read, update and delete). It’s an invaluable piece of our jigsaw.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

We're highly qualified in AWS and have been using it since 2015. Over that time, we’ve clocked up plenty of experience and tools for excellent cloud-native development, creating everything from large-scale content management systems to high-performance SaaS systems.

Microsoft Azure

Our Azure success stories range from machine learning architecture for the NHS to architecture, integration, and management for the highly innovative Electron low-carbon energy grid, integrating Kubernetes and Akka.NET.

Case study

Bringing a fresh Perspective to essential pension
industry data

Pendragon, a specialist provider of legal and regulatory information services to the UK pensions industry, is rightly proud of its flagship product, Perspective. But this indispensable electronic information service was showing its age – and resisting attempts to drag it up to date.

To hang on to its position, cloud-based convenience was a must. But two previous attempts to shift it from desktop to SaaS had failed for being too slow. How could we overcome the technical barriers to bring Perspective up to date without losing performance?
