Prototyping

From idea to working prototype in no time!

Deciding to start an IT company in today’s climate is always a difficult decision. You’ve researched your product and the market and are ready for a first proof of concept. The next stage it to hire a team of developers to develop the product…

The problem is, how do you know what to look for? You may start interviewing programmers yourself, but what makes a particular programmer right for your company? What kind of programmer does your business really need? How can you prove if they are competent in the areas that matter to your business?

Programmers can often be religious about the software and platforms they use, and this can have major impacts on the business, especially when working with proprietary licensed technologies from Microsoft or delving into a potential open source licensing nightmare.

The Solution

Our proposal is simple: don’t employ programmers, hire us as your prototyping team! We can help you achieve your proof of concept, then either develop it further or help you hire the right people to continue the work. With our significant contacts in most areas of software (including: telecommunications, marine, e-commerce, disaster prevention, digital security and defence) we may already know the right people to suit your company!

If, for whatever reason during the prototyping stage, the company decides that the idea is not feasible or there are other projects that seem more profitable, you then have the freedom to move quickly forwards as the obligations you would have had with employees are simply not applicable.

We can charge per milestone or by the time spent on the project (whichever best suits the business requirements) and believe our prices are incredibly competitive even though the services we offer are incredibly unique.

You will find that hiring us is not only more cost effective, but far quicker and simpler than hiring your own team! We even have offices and computer equipment of our own, so no need for an expensive investment there!

We have commercial experience in a wide variety of sectors including: telecommunications, marine, e-commerce, disaster prevention, digital security and defence
We have experience working commercially with open source software, even integrated within proprietary, closed-source solutions
We are used to working with incredibly tight deadlines and have a reputation for delivering on-time, every time!
We have commercial experience working with Windows, Linux, Unix and mobile devices (especially with Google’s Android) and know that there isn’t always one tool that is right for all jobs. The key is to first understand the business requirements and then decide (or help you decide) what is the “right tool for this job”
We have experience working on sensitive, secret and top secret projects with our SC clearance, so you can be assured that we are trustworthy. (We encourage companies to ask us to sign NDAs before discussing any work with us)
We pride ourselves on delivering quality software (we’d be out of business pretty quickly if that wasn’t the case!) so we offer a unique “zero bug” guarantee whereby all our software comes complete with “unit tests” to prove that each components works as intended; however, If a bug is discovered, we will fix it for free as our highest priority
We also have commercial experience interfacing software with large-scale hardware; this means we are able to control hardware devices through software (in a very efficient and secure way) regardless of if the hardware is mechanical or digital.. The hardware doesn’t even necessarily need to have a computer interface (eg. RS-232, RJ45, USB, IEEE 1394 etc..)
