Sound familiar?

  • Business-critical apps on ageing technology that only one person understands.
  • Systems that don't talk to each other, so staff re-key data.
  • Slow, risky releases that have to happen after hours.
  • Customers phoning for things they could easily do online.

What you'll get

  • Modern, secure applications built on Microsoft Azure.
  • Reliable integrations that keep data flowing between systems.
  • Automated pipelines for small, frequent, low-risk releases.
  • The right mix of custom code and low-code for speed and value.

Build Cloud-Native Applications

We design applications for the cloud from day one, using containers, serverless and managed services, so they scale with demand and stay reliable.

App developer at work

Cloud-Native App Development

From customer portals to internal tools, we build web and mobile apps on Microsoft Azure with modern frameworks, clean APIs and microservices where they add value. You get applications that scale automatically, recover from failure and are easy to change.

Modernise the Applications You Rely On

Your existing applications hold years of business knowledge. We help you keep what works and replace what holds you back.

Application Modernisation

We refresh ageing applications with current frameworks and architecture, improving security, user experience and long-term maintainability.

Application Migration

We move applications to Azure or new platforms in planned stages, with testing at every step, to keep disruption to a minimum.

Application Integration

We connect your applications, systems and partners through secure APIs and event-driven integration, so data flows where it's needed without manual effort.

Performance Optimisation

We find and fix bottlenecks in code, databases and infrastructure, so your applications stay fast and responsive as usage grows.

Modernised applications

Release Faster with DevOps

Great software depends on how it's delivered as much as how it's written.

DevOps automation

DevOps & Automation

We set up CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, automated testing and monitoring in Azure DevOps or GitHub. Releases become smaller, more frequent and far less stressful, and every change is traceable.

Deliver Faster with Low-Code

Not every problem needs custom code. Low-code lets you deliver business apps in weeks rather than months.

Low-Code App Development

Using Microsoft Power Platform, we build forms, workflows and business apps with visual tools and ready-made connectors. Governance is set up from the start, so low-code apps stay secure and supportable as they grow. Explore our Power Platform services.

Low-code innovation

How we work

1

Discover

We map your users, processes and systems to define what the app needs to do.

2

Design

We prototype screens and architecture, and test them with real users.

3

Build

We develop in short sprints, with automated testing and regular demos.

4

Launch & improve

We release through automated pipelines, monitor usage and keep improving.

Digital & App Innovation Use Cases

Examples of the applications and integrations we design, build and modernise, using cloud-native architecture, low-code where it fits and DevOps throughout.

Customer experience

Customer self-service portal and app

The challenge
Customers phone or email for simple tasks like updating details, booking a service or checking an order, which keeps the contact centre busy.
What we build
A responsive web portal and mobile app on Azure, with secure customer sign-in, APIs into your core systems and notifications at every step.
The outcome
Customers help themselves around the clock, call volumes fall and your team focuses on the conversations that matter.
  • Azure App Service
  • Azure API Management
  • Microsoft Entra External ID
  • React
Application modernisation

Rebuilding a business-critical legacy app

The challenge
A core system built in Access or an old version of .NET runs on one server, only one person understands it and it can't be reached securely from outside the office.
What we build
A modern .NET application on Azure with a managed database, single sign-on, role-based access and automated deployments, migrated in stages so the business keeps running.
The outcome
A supported, secure application that staff can use from anywhere, without the single point of failure.
  • .NET
  • Azure SQL
  • Azure App Service
  • Microsoft Entra ID
System integration

Connecting ERP, CRM and payroll

The challenge
Systems exchange data through nightly CSV files and manual uploads. When a file fails, nobody notices until the reports are wrong.
What we build
An integration layer using Logic Apps, Azure Functions and Service Bus, with APIs published through API Management, plus monitoring, alerts and automatic retries.
The outcome
Near real-time data between systems, failures caught and fixed early, and new integrations added without starting from scratch.
  • Azure Logic Apps
  • Azure Functions
  • Azure Service Bus
  • API Management
DevOps

Faster, safer software releases

The challenge
Releases are manual, happen after hours and are stressful. Environments drift apart, and a bad deployment means a long night.
What we build
CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, infrastructure as code with Bicep or Terraform, automated testing and staged deployments with one-click rollback.
The outcome
Smaller, more frequent releases during business hours, consistent environments and rollbacks in minutes.
  • Azure DevOps
  • GitHub Actions
  • Bicep / Terraform
  • Automated testing

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on complexity, scale and who will look after it. Low-code with Microsoft Power Platform is ideal for internal business apps and workflows. Custom development suits customer-facing products, complex logic or high volumes. We'll recommend the right mix for each need.

Usually, yes. We often modernise in stages: moving to the cloud first, then replacing the riskiest or most valuable parts. Your business keeps running throughout.

We build on Microsoft Azure with .NET and modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, using services like App Service, Functions, Logic Apps and API Management, plus Microsoft Power Platform for low-code.

Security is built in from the start, with single sign-on through Microsoft Entra ID, role-based access, encrypted data, secure coding practices and automated security checks in the delivery pipeline.

Yes. We can provide ongoing support and enhancements, or hand over to your team with documentation, training and automated pipelines in place.
