We rescue or replace a platform that has fallen behind, without stopping the business and without you needing to understand technology to know whether it is going well. The scope is split into phases, each with its deliverable and fixed price, and the old product keeps running until the last day.
Companies of 10 to 60 people with a digital product that works, makes money and causes trouble: every change takes weeks, infrastructure costs more every year, and the team or vendor that built it is gone or has nothing more to give.
It is not for starting a product that does not exist from scratch: that is product development. Nor is it for fixing one specific module, which belongs in fractional CTO work or a small development project.
Two weeks inside the current platform. Out comes a report with the problems ranked by what they cost and the scope of the replacement: what is kept, what is rewritten, what is switched off.
The new platform is built alongside the old one and takes over functions one at a time. Each phase has its scope, its delivery to production and its payment, and when it ends you decide whether we carry on. There is no cut-over day when everything changes.
One point of contact, a small team, artificial intelligence on whatever can be tested automatically and people on whatever cannot. Nothing goes into production without a test that proves it.
Code in your repositories from day one, documentation of what was decided and why, and a handover session with whoever will maintain it. You can carry on without us.
What it does not include is here, not in the small print.
The fixed price comes from the scope, but you can know the order of magnitude before we talk. The calculator asks what the platform is built with, how long it has been running and how many developers have worked on it, and gives a tentative budget.
Worked example: a web platform five to ten years old, with two or three team handovers, no rush.
Calculate mineAnonymised, with the role we played in it.
AWS with Oracle, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, Redshift and DynamoDB. Multi-level caching, observability, continuous integration and a five-person team hired and led.
No. The new platform is built alongside the old one and takes over functions one at a time. The old one keeps running until the last day.
The calculator gives a tentative budget, an estimated time and how many phases it is delivered in. The fixed price of each phase and the schedule come from the written scope, which is prepared in the audit beforehand.
It is migrated. The new data model and the migration of the existing data are part of the scope.
Five or six questions, under a minute. We send you the tentative budget, the estimated time and how many phases it comes in, and you see it right here.
