It basically means you can get good ideas straight to your users faster and without the faff. Automated testing gives you the confidence that your software is always functioning as expected - sometimes with multiple tools running side by side to test different scenarios, leaving testers free to focus on exploratory tests rather than repetitive manual tests. Better cost savings.

It can help you make better informed business decisions with the ability to learn from data, identify unseen patterns, and make predictions. What's more, the benefits can be amazing. You can improve internal processes and optimise user experience, discover new business insights and gain a competitive advantage. It can even help you stay one step ahead of your customers' expectations, so you're always on the front foot.

In fact, some of our projects are based solely on pulling data from different systems to help drive better decision-making. More importantly, we're pretty good at delivering it all on time and budget too. However, that's just part of the story. We also run pure integration projects. These range from assisting with the implementation of off-the-shelf products, building on top of existing enterprise systems or simply joining things up to avoid double-data entry.

read moreDevOps combines software development (Dev) with operations (Ops), to deliver engineering best practices and faster software releases. Under a DevOps model, there is one single team consisting of development and operations where the engineers work across the entire application lifecycle and develop a range of skills not limited to a single function. Like agile, this methodology drives improved application reliability, reduced risk, faster time to market, and increased ROI. Software no longer just supports a business, it is an integral component of every part of it.
