partnerships to increase shareholder returns
Aptitude has spent 15 years working with software companies of all sizes to enhance competitive agility and reduce burn rates using proven, development programs to increase product quality, eliminate technical debt and greatly reduce the marginal cost of development.
We help software companies and their investors in several ways:
– Reducing development costs by up to 80% or more
– Avoiding the risk of technical debt with software engineering best practices
– Extending competitive advantage with machine learning and blockchain solutions
– Maximising ROI and long-term valuation with strategic Build Operate Transfer models
We’ve worked with startups and scale-ups of all types, developing a wide range of systems including enterprise CRM applications, mobile loyalty apps and industrial IoT platforms.
Whatever your development needs we can provide the technical leadership, product quality and cost reductions needed to accelerate your market success.
50 – 80% cost reduction
One of the main reasons for startup failure is running out of cash.
In most technology companies the largest single expense is software engineering that can consume more than 50% of investment capital.
And with open vacancies for software developers forecast to grow by 22% year on year, this cost is likely to increase as experienced software developers demand higher salaries and more generous bonus and equity plans.
Aptitude addresses this challenge by providing software engineering teams at savings that, with our Build-Operate-Transfer model, can be up to 80% giving startups 4 times the spending power from their investment.
avoiding technical debt
Technical debt is the accumulated future cost of poor quality code or application designs that require subsequent recoding or replacement.
Technical debt can make or break the long term success of software startups yet it can easily happen to any company with go to market time pressures.
Aptitude’s software engineering best practices can help startups avoid the common pitfalls that lead to technical debt by future-proofing architectural designs, implementing coding best practices and securing the highest code quality through unit testing and test automation.
Our agile methodology is also fine-tuned for the rapidly changing needs of software companies and is able to respond to changing priorities in real time, further reducing the risks of technical debt.
extending competitive advantage
Aptitude can also offer machine learning and blockchain consulting solutions to help increase competitive advantage.
Our team of data scientists and blockchain architects have designed and implemented cutting-edge, disruptive A.I. and distributed ledger solutions across a wide range of industries and use cases, including fraud detection, cyber security and video processing applications.
We can also increase competitive advantage and reduce time to market with one of the most powerful predictive analytics application that can be seamlessly white-labelled as an add-on module to existing applications.
build-operate-transfer programs
Aptitude provides some of the most creative and flexible business terms in the outsourcing market.
We’re committed to provide complete transparency and predictability for our clients, including the best strategic options to support all phases of business growth.
As part of that commitment, we provide the option of a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model where, over 2 years, we will build a captive offshore facility for our clients at minimal cost and risk leveraging our extensive offshore experience.
Our BOT models provide direct access to marginal development costs of 20% or less compared to US equivalents and in turn enhancing long-term enterprise valuations.
If you’re a founder or technology investor Aptitude can significantly reduce burn rates, increase spending power and provide the right foundation to maximize long-term valuations.
