Embracing digital transformation.

Organisations embrace digital transformation in the Netherlands, everyone wants to keep moving forward Making strides with the business! With the current staff shortages, this is an increasing challenge. In doing so, people no longer always want to rely on labour hours to keep growing.

Technology is thus getting deeper and deeper into organisations, and people also want to keep a 'grip' on these business-critical applications for that reason. Understandable! The IT team and sometimes marketing departments are often given the responsibility of taking care of the applications. In addition, a clear vision needs to be formed for future steps within the digital landscape.

Keep on developing.

You want to avoid projects bleeding in the start-up phase, development through stagnation and goals not being achieved. Choices need to be made around defining the MVP. What is feasible, sticks to the essence and has maximum results? This is where we get our energy and where we gladly put our expertise.

"Agreements, techniques and processes sail with us on successful previous experiences. We have captured the experiences in structures."

Jarno Business Director

Practically explained, 12 years of experience is documented in:

Aligned teams with extensive experience
Working agreements (capacity, ways of working, responsibilities, SLAs)
Standardised well-established process structures (ci/cd, boards, versioning, support, manuals)
Boilerplates (design standards in convenient and well thought-out templates)
Packages (existing code that we broadly and redeploy)

With this, you kickstart your project and time does not go into 'figuring out' what works and what does not. A solid start for quick results.

Our learnings for organisations, who want to develop software together with a technology partner:

With co-development in particular, establishing and honouring working agreements is essential. Good agreements make good friends. Are you curious about what working agreements for co-development we use? Get in touch with us.
If you want to continue working together successfully and for a long time, work agreements need to be continuously optimised. Circumstances and findings provide new insights.
Setting up shared technical and functional documentation is essential for good coordination and to be able to fall back on. We record this centrally in Gitlab so that knowledge remains secured.
Create support by involving executive IT staff. Formulate joint goals for good cooperation. This way, you build a basis of trust and avoid the idea that 'work done before has to be protected'.
Setting up an efficient development street and development processes (CI/CD / DevOps) is complex. Have the implementation and configuration done by an experienced software partner to avoid costly mistakes.
No matter how big the organisation is (listed, scale-up or start-up) don't try to invent everything yourself. Together, you are definitely faster and certainly more stable. With more capacity and the knowledge secured in dedicated teams, dependencies are reduced.

Start thoroughly with an inventory phase (Sprint 0) to document plans. In little time, a lot of knowledge is captured. This is the ideal time to manage expectations and define the plan to achieve your goals!
Developers and stakeholders who also really understand where the project and collaboration should and is going.
Able to switch gears quickly and extract information from organisation. A fixed contact person is most efficient, such as a Product Owner who has decision-making authority and quick access to essential information from the organisation.
Be or become accustomed to being able to work in structure (agile) and take steps from structure.
A good cloud infrastructure partner.
