Digital engineering

Custom application development and legacy modernisation on Java, .NET and modern web stacks, with quality engineering and testing built in.

Languages and frameworks: Java, .NET, Node.js, React, Angular, Python

Two engineers sit side by side at a white desk working on laptops, photographed from the side in daylight. — An engineer and a reviewer working through a change together, with tests in the same pull.

Our engineering teams build and modernise the applications that sit between your customers and your core systems. A team owns a service from design through release, and testing is part of the definition of done rather than a phase at the end.

For legacy modernisation we decide application by application whether to rehost, refactor or rebuild, and we keep the old and new systems running side by side until the new one has earned the cutover.

What we do

Custom application development
Web and back-end applications built by cross-functional teams, with architecture decisions recorded as they are made.
Legacy modernisation
Rehost, refactor or rebuild, chosen per application on cost, risk and the cost of delay, with parallel running before cutover.
API and integration engineering
Service interfaces and event integration that let new channels use old systems without touching their code.
Mobile and web experience
Customer and employee applications on iOS, Android and the web, designed with the people who will use them.
Quality engineering and test automation
Automated regression, performance and security testing in the pipeline, so a release is a routine event.
DevOps and release engineering
Build, deployment and environment automation that shortens the path from commit to production.

Typical engagements

Client details are anonymised.

We rebuilt the journey as a single digital flow with automated checks, and time from application to decision fell to under one day.

A specialty lenderA paper-heavy loan origination journey that took five days from application to decision.

A national grocery chain

A fifteen-year-old order management system that could not take peak load, and no window for a trading freeze.

The new platform ran beside the old across 40 stores before cutover, so the switch happened with no lost orders and no freeze.

How it is delivered

New builds usually run as fixed-scope projects with a named delivery manager. Where the roadmap is long, an offshore development centre keeps the same engineers on the product release after release.

Fixed-scope projects: Agreed deliverables, timelines and acceptance criteria, with a named delivery manager.
Offshore development centres: Dedicated, ring-fenced offshore teams that work as an extension of yours.

Working hours that overlap

Shared hours: an example day in your local time. The offset differs by client, and we plan for at least four hours when both teams are working every day.
