Applications

Application development and modernization

Custom applications, customer and supplier portals, and modern versions of the systems your teams rely on every day, built cloud-native on Azure, AWS or GCP and connected to the ERP and data behind them.

Our application services

Applications we’ve built and modernized

A Medicaid member app in continuous delivery for 22+ months, a custom learning platform for Google’s sales team, and an IBM RPG order system rebuilt on Angular and Java: new applications, modernized ones and the cloud work that keeps them running.

Custom web applicationsPortals and internal tools built around how your people work

Custom web applications

We build customer and vendor portals, internal tools and dashboards around the work people actually do, with the ERP, CRM and identity systems they depend on wired in from the start.

  • Interactive dashboards, customer portals and internal tools with real-time functionality
  • Secure role-based access and authentication methods like SSO or MFA
  • Workflow automation and custom reporting
Modular web architectureFront ends and services joined by clean APIs

Modular web architecture

Front ends and back-end services talk through well-defined APIs, so you can add a feature or connect SAP, Salesforce or Dynamics without rebuilding the application.

  • Front ends in React or Angular
  • Secure REST APIs between the front end and the back end
  • Real-time integration with CRMs, ERPs and cloud platforms
  • React
  • Angular
  • REST
Cloud-native developmentApplications, migrations and delivery pipelines built for the cloud

Cloud-native development and DevOps

We build applications on Azure, AWS and GCP and move existing ones there, from a straight rehost to a full refactor. Serverless and containerized back ends cut idle cost, and delivery pipelines make releases routine.

  • Serverless and containerized back ends on Azure Functions, AWS Lambda and containers
  • Cloud migration and re-architecture, with integration to SAP, Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics and EHR systems
  • CI/CD for apps and infrastructure, environment provisioning, secrets management and runbooks your team can operate from
  • Azure Functions
  • AWS Lambda
  • Terraform
  • GitHub Actions
  • Azure DevOps
Legacy modernizationOlder systems rebuilt on current web platforms

Legacy modernization

We’ve moved IBM RPG order management for one of America’s largest industrial distributors and a VB6 shop-floor system for a packaging manufacturer onto modern web platforms, with the business rules carried across and tested against the old behavior.

  • UI and UX redesign and responsive updates
  • Replatforming from IBM i, VB6 and older .NET to modern web frameworks
  • Framework upgrades and security remediation, AI-assisted
  • .NET
  • Angular
  • Java
  • JavaScript
AI-assisted modernization
Enterprise integrationApplications connected to SAP, Salesforce and NetSuite

Enterprise integration

An application is only as useful as the data it can reach. We build tested integrations with SAP, Salesforce, NetSuite and the rest of your estate, so people stop copying data between screens.

  • Real-time data sync with SAP, Salesforce, NetSuite and others
  • SSO and secure, tested APIs
  • Automation for workflows, invoicing and analytics
  • SAP
  • Salesforce
  • NetSuite

A few practical questions

Questions about application development

What IT leaders usually ask before an application project starts.

Ask us about your situation
Can you take over an application someone else built?

Yes. Much of our application work starts that way, including a custom ERP and customer portal taken over from a client’s own IT team and now run as a managed service.

Can you modernize an application without a full rewrite?

Often, yes. For a national distributor we upgraded the Angular portals and Azure Functions several versions, closed every vulnerability the scans and pen tests found, and kept the business running on the same applications.

Which cloud do you build on?

Azure, AWS or GCP, usually wherever the rest of your estate already runs, with the delivery pipelines and runbooks your team needs to operate it.

Can you work alongside our own developers?

Yes. We can own the project end to end as a scoped project, or our engineers can join your team and follow your process through staff augmentation.

Next step

Which application is holding the business back?

Tell us who uses it, what it runs on and what it has to connect to. Here’s what happens after you reach out.

  1. A short call about the application

    Who uses it, what it has to connect to and what is driving the timing.

  2. An engineer looks at what’s running

    Scope comes from your systems as they are, before anything is priced.

  3. You get a written proposal

    Covering scope, team, approach and price.
