Software Consultancy

Using software technology to solve problems is what we’re about. Our software consulting services give your organisation access to deep knowledge and practical experience, enabling your projects to deliver software that does exactly what you need.

DISCOVERY PROBLEM ANALYSIS BUSINESS ANALYSIS

Discovery

The discovery phase starts the software development process, and is what successful delivery is built on. We’ll steer the discussion with your key people and teams, while listening hard: it’s a positive and collaborative process where we learn all about the project space, and your unique challenges.

We will contribute valuable experience, knowledge and curiosity to help clarify complex issues, establish meaningful and informed objectives, and give your project the basis to deliver the right outcomes.

Problem Analysis

We bring a range of people, skills and qualities to the problem analysis process. Beyond knowledge and experience of a broad range of existing and emerging technologies, we will lead your analysis process with an energy and openness that paves the way for creative and innovative solutions.

Our teams explore and use leading open source knowledge bases and extensive domain experience in problem analysis. We use prototyping and experimentation to measure, learn and identify the right technology solutions for the problem.

Business Analysis

The ability to efficiently analyse your needs and requirements is crucial to your ongoing success. This is true whether our role is to lead you forward from the discovery phase, or is part of your ongoing work to adapt and thrive in a continually evolving landscape.

There are many dimensions to requirements, and we approach each new challenge with an open mind. We work closely with you, analysing where you are and where you want to be in the future.

The knowledge and mutual trust we build up allows us to continually validate, adapt and refine those requirements. This drives agile delivery and adaptable solutions that meet your true business needs, assuring future value, innovation and opportunity.

Software Development

Creating a positive user experience is a fundamental part of software development. We prototype new products, services and solutions to gauge their effectiveness, using this principle at every stage from proof of concept and minimum viable product (MVP), through to full production implementation

Solution Design

The design of any software solution is critical to its ongoing success, and at Savient we have the practical experience to ensure that our designs meet your requirements and landscape.

Our team has the knowledge to ensure that designs focus on the aspects most important to you, can evolve as each stage of the project responds to ongoing feedback, and can be delivered incrementally.

Solution Implementation

Our goal is to create great systems that empower and enable your users to do more and to make better decisions.

We engineer solutions to both create a positive user experience, and to fulfil your requirements. This is our focus at every stage, from proof of concept and delivering a minimal viable product (MVP), via every iteration to full production implementation.

Using a variety of methodologies we can demonstrate business value and keep pace with the ever changing landscape you operate in. We deliver software solutions in an agile way, using rapid iterations, to ensure that each delivery moves the design forward to meet your business requirements.

Application Management

We understand the importance of providing ongoing solution support and maintenance throughout the project life cycle – our work doesn’t end when we deliver your application.

Our proactive approach helps your team gain maximum return on technology investment. We continually review the solution, anticipate potential areas of improvement and address any issues.

Software Partnerships

Alongside software consultancy services we provide, we also offer a broad range of advanced technical skills to complement your in-house capabilities. You may be developing your own intellectual property (IP), or looking to upskill or augment your team with our expertise. Either way you can be confident that we integrate our people effectively, so that they thrive and add value in new environments, bringing fresh ideas and helping to tackle innovation debt.

We’re committed to continuous improvement, drawing on industry best practices and our own practical experiences to ensure we walk the talk. And whatever stage of maturity your processes are at, we’ll look to improve them using the techniques described here, to realise a more efficient and responsive release process.

big data Lean Development Agile Delivery DevOps Security & Information Assurance

Big Data

Big data means different things to different organisations. Often our clients’ challenges involve data volume, data velocity or data variety in some way: one, two, or even all three of these may apply. Whether it is the sheer volume of data you are receiving, the fact that your systems are being overwhelmed by spikes and bursts of data, or the seemingly endless variety of data sources and formats you face, our experienced team of experts can help.

Data Volume: Savient designs and engineers systems that allow you to manage high volumes of data efficiently, freeing you to focus on creating value through analysis and insights.

Data Velocity: Our engineers design and collaborate on systems that process streaming data to provide near real time insights, while storing and managing raw data efficiently.

Data Variety: We help organisations address the complex and interconnected data landscape by conforming data to known schemas and formats, and by landing data within truly unstructured data stores.

If you have a big data related issue, we’d love to hear more about it, and to explain how we can help you meet it.

Lean Development

We use a continuous cycle of Build, Analyse, Learn as the bedrock of our development practice. These three steps enable us to build, release, and gather feedback and metrics on a feature or hypothesis in a rapid cycle, so that each iteration incorporates learning from previous ones.

By keeping iterations lean – clearly defined and small in scope – we maximise effectiveness, with focused learning cycles and targeted measurement. Measurement, or metrication, is crucial to this process: without it, the success of a given release is difficult to assess, removing its value as a guide to future iterations.

We aim to deliver Minimum Viable Product so you benefit from the shortest possible development to value loop. This does not mean that the product is finished, but does mean that you can use it, learn where it does and does not work, and change it so it is the best solution for your problems.

Agile Delivery

Your organisation wants to deliver value and to keep pace with the continuously changing landscape it operates in. Agile delivery can really allow your teams to achieve this, which is why we’ve embedded agile practices across our services.

With agile delivery, users drive your requirements priorities. Close collaboration between software engineers and your users allows value to be delivered at the completion of every delivery increment, until you decide to stop.

At Savient we have extensive experience delivering software solutions using agile practices. This enables us to tailor the delivery approach to each specific challenge and scenario, maximising value for you.

Agile practices also allow innovative approaches to flourish. The continuous improvement of the methodology implementation within the team is key, so that delivery refinements and enhancements continue to flow throughout each project.

Agile methodologies encompass a number of ways of working including Scrum, Kanban, SAFe and more. Our team can guide you through the best choices for your project’s implementation.

DevOps

Extending the agile delivery methodology to a DevOps (or DevSecOps) approach is a natural evolution for many organisations. This culture shift can bring even more value than simply developing software in an agile way, quickening release cycles, lowering costs, and reducing any development risks.

DevOps blends the agile software development methodology (Dev) with that of information technology operations (Ops). This shortens the systems development lifecycle while delivering features, fixes and updates frequently, in close alignment with business objectives.

For Savient this builds on agile development by ensuring that the software delivery aspects are automated, using tooling to create a continuous integration pipeline. This extends to continuous delivery and deployment, for organisations with a mature release management approach.

In our experience DevOps can accelerate the delivery of value beyond agile methods. The traditionally siloed areas of responsibility for testing, integration, delivery and even deployment lie within a single, shared-responsibility, automated business process.

Security & Information Assurance

We know that security and information assurance are paramount to you. And at Savient security is at the core of everything we do: our architecture and solution design; our tool selection and methods; and our technical delivery.

This all pervasive approach can be baked into your delivery methodology by augmenting a DevOps approach with security, to create a DevSecOps methodology. Across compliance checks, static code analysis and pen testing, to documentation testing or other compliance gates, security is treated as integral to delivery – not something to be added at the end.

From project inception through to decommissioning, at Savient we build security into our solutions. Engineering best practices and secure architecture design alongside continuous assessment and validation of your risk profile, are all at the heart of this approach.

You can be sure that working with us, your data assets and reputation will be protected from internal and external threats, so they meet compliance requirements and safeguard trust.
