Running at the Speed of Modern Tech 

Who thinks to themselves, "I'd love to try this new tech as slowly as possible"? We all want to make better decisions, get better value from our data, and gain efficiencies, but starting a new project can be time-consuming and expensive. Setting up the necessary infrastructure, configuring tools, and building the initial components can significantly delay the time to valuable development. You can streamline this process and expedite the time to achieve the desired outcome if your tech partner uses Accelerators.

Leveraging CI/CD and IAC 

Our approach utilizes Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate your application's building, testing, and deployment. IaC allows you to define and manage your infrastructure using code, making it easier to replicate and scale, creating reusable proof of concepts (POCs). Yes, please.

Utilizing Managed Components 

We leverage managed components provided by cloud platforms like AWS. These pre-built components significantly reduce development time and effort, allowing you to focus on core business logic. The purpose of the technology is to help the business, so focusing on solving the business problem by leveraging pre-built components makes sense. 

Accelerate the Good Stuff 

Accelerators encapsulate these components into reusable packages, providing a head start on your projects. By starting with an accelerator, you can avoid building out the boilerplate parts of your project from scratch, saving time and resources. Moreover, many companies share accelerators, fostering reusability across the industry. These shared accelerators are often well-tested for usability, resiliency, and security. Our accelerators let you get to your business outcome faster without wasting time reinventing the wheel. 

Dance with the Right Partner 

Good partnership is critical in all areas of life, including solving your most challenging business and technical problems. If you're working with a consulting firm, it's essential to ensure they are using accelerators to maximize the efficiency of your project. If they're not, they may be charging you to build components that could be easily reused or that they have built 100 times before. A trusted partner brings out the best version of you, solving business challenges faster so you can focus. 

Additionally, it's essential to negotiate ownership of the accelerators they use to avoid vendor lock-in. If your POC or project is finished, you may want to move on, or take over with your own team. We want to help you solve problems, not stay with you forever. 

By strategically incorporating CI/CD, IaC, managed components, and accelerators into your projects, you can significantly reduce the time to value and achieve faster time-to-market. 

Let Us Prove It 

We are confident in our technical capabilities and want to prove it to you for free! Why? Because we know good partnerships are built on trust. Reach out today, and let's chat about how we can further your business together.
