Who we work with

Enterprise Software Development

We work inside your security review and procurement process, integrate with the legacy systems you can't replace overnight, and plan for the change management a rollout needs.

How we work

Enterprise software development starts before any code gets written, usually with a security questionnaire, a vendor risk assessment, or a procurement process that runs longer than the first project phase. A large organization is evaluating a vendor as much as a product, and the software has to be built in a way that survives that scrutiny: documented data flows, a clear answer on where data lives, and an architecture a security team can actually review.

Most enterprise projects also inherit systems nobody is allowed to simply replace: a mainframe running payroll, an identity provider tied to thousands of accounts, a data warehouse three other departments depend on. New software has to integrate with what's already there, often through single sign-on and provisioning standards like SAML, OIDC and SCIM, rather than assuming a clean slate.

The software is also only half the project. A system that changes how hundreds of people do their job needs a rollout plan: training, a phased cutover, and support for the team still on the old system while the new one proves itself. Skipping that planning is a common reason technically sound enterprise software fails to get adopted.

The problem

What enterprises usually run into

Passing security review before the project starts
Vendor questionnaires, data flow diagrams and architecture reviews often happen before a contract is signed, and a proposal that can't answer them in specific technical terms stalls in procurement regardless of how good the product idea is.
Procurement cycles that outlast the build
Large organizations often take longer to approve a vendor than to build the first release, and a project plan has to account for that lead time instead of assuming development starts the week a proposal is accepted.
Single sign-on and identity provisioning
New software has to plug into an existing identity provider, using SAML or OIDC for login and SCIM for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning, rather than maintaining its own separate user directory.
Integrating with legacy systems that can't be replaced
A mainframe, an on-premises ERP or a decades-old data warehouse often can't be swapped out, so new software has to integrate around it, frequently through a middle layer that translates between old and new data formats.
Change management across a large user base
Software that changes a workflow for hundreds or thousands of employees needs training, a phased rollout and a plan for the period when two systems run in parallel, or adoption stalls no matter how well the system works.
Sustaining a compliance programme, not just passing an audit
Meeting a regulation at launch is different from operating inside it continuously. Logging, access review and data retention need to keep working correctly as the system changes, not only on the day an auditor looks.

How we adapt

How we work differently for you

Engagement
Contracts typically go through procurement and legal review before work starts, often under a master services agreement covering multiple phases, with a security addendum covering data handling, audit rights and breach notification specific to the organization.
Team
Larger engagements bring a wider set of roles: a solutions architect who can speak to the security and compliance review, integration engineers for the legacy systems involved, and a project lead who reports into the client's own program structure.
Process
Delivery follows a more formal cadence than a smaller engagement: documented architecture decisions, a change control process for scope, and status reporting that matches the governance the organization already runs its other vendors through.
Budgeting
Costs are usually structured against a phased statement of work tied to a fiscal year or budget cycle, with a separate line for the security and compliance work a smaller project wouldn't need at all.
Compliance
Regulatory requirements, SOC 2 practices, HIPAA, GDPR or PCI DSS scope depending on the industry, get built into the architecture from discovery onward, with logging and access control designed to hold up under an ongoing audit.

Projects

What we typically build

Legacy system integration through a middle layer
Connecting a mainframe or on-premises ERP to new systems through an API or messaging layer, without requiring a wholesale replacement of the system of record.
Single sign-on and SCIM provisioning rollout
Wiring a new application into an existing identity provider so employee access follows the same login and offboarding process as every other enterprise system.
A compliance-ready rebuild of an internal system
Rebuilding an aging internal tool with the access controls, audit logging and data retention a current compliance programme requires.
A phased rollout across multiple business units
Sequencing a new system into one department at a time, with training and parallel-run support, instead of a single cutover across the whole organization.
Security review support during procurement
Providing architecture documentation, data flow diagrams and answers to a vendor security questionnaire as part of a procurement process, before a contract is finalized.

Engagement

Engagement models that fit

Enterprise engagements usually run as a statement of work under a master services agreement, scoped in phases that align with the organization's own budget and governance cycle. Security and legal review typically happen before the statement of work is signed, not after, so the timeline accounts for that lead time from the start.

Team composition is set to match the engagement's technical surface, with architecture, integration and security roles staffed as the project requires, and reporting follows whatever cadence the client's own program management office already runs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do you handle our security review and vendor questionnaire?

We provide architecture documentation, data flow diagrams and direct answers to your security team's questionnaire as part of the proposal stage, before any contract is signed, so review can happen alongside procurement rather than after it.

Can you integrate with our existing SSO provider?

Yes. New systems are built to authenticate through your existing identity provider using SAML or OIDC, with SCIM used for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning, so access follows your existing joiner-mover-leaver process.

How do you work with systems we can't replace?

Most enterprise projects integrate around a legacy system rather than replacing it outright, often through a middleware layer that translates between the old system's data format and the new one, so the system of record stays put.

How do you support a phased rollout across departments?

Rollouts are sequenced department by department, with training and a defined period where old and new systems run in parallel, so one group can validate the change before it reaches the rest of the organization.

How is compliance handled beyond the initial audit?

Access control, audit logging and data retention are built into the architecture, not added afterward, and are designed to keep working as the system changes so an ongoing compliance programme doesn't lapse between audits.

How long does procurement typically add to the timeline?

It varies by organization, but security review, legal and budget approval commonly take longer than the first development phase, so we plan the project timeline around your procurement cycle rather than assuming development starts immediately.
