How we engage
Four ways to put a senior team to work.
01
Custom software development
An expert team that delivers the value you expect, fast. We own the full cycle — from requirements through to working, deployed software.
02
Team extension & staff augmentation
Senior consultants embedded in your team for specific development, architecture or support work — adapting to your internal methodology and tooling.
03
Architecture consulting
Guidance and implementation of microservices, monoliths, SOA, governance, ESB integration buses, message-oriented middleware and BPM — plus help with technology adoption decisions.
04
Java performance & legacy modernization
Diagnosis, tuning and audit for Java/JEE apps with performance, response-time, architecture or security issues. Profiling, stress testing and migration of legacy code to modern stacks.
Why teams trust us
A team recognized by the global engineering community.
The main benefit we offer is the support of an expert team assigned to each project — backed by 20+ years implementing enterprise Java, mobile, micro-services and cloud architecture.
