Choosing a Development Partner
Three Questions You Should Ask Everyone.
Including us.
What will you build in week one?
Most vendors start coding immediately. We don't.
In week one, we're documenting your actual problem. Not the solution you think you need, but the outcome you're trying to achieve. The technology choice comes last, not first.
What happens when requirements change?
They always do. How a team handles change reveals everything.
We build systems that adapt, not monoliths that shatter. Our code is structured for evolution because we know that what you need today is different from what you'll need tomorrow.
Who will maintain this in five years?
The real cost isn't building it. It's living with it.
We write code that future developers can understand at 2am. We document the 'why', not just the 'what'. Because we've inherited too many nightmares to create another one.
Years building software for Take Two Interactive, RedOctane, and companies that trusted us with their most critical systems.
