Aptitude’s Foundational Framework benefits include:
- Better Scalability with Microservices Architectures
- Higher Quality with Built-in Test Automation

Aptitude’s Agile Deployment Model
In addition to time savings achieved with our Foundatioal Framework, Aptitude helps clients reduce time to market with an Agile development methodology fine-tuned for the needs of smaller, faster growing technology companies.
The key aspects of our Agile model that save valuable time to market include:
- Ability to work from high level requirements
- Allowing clients to focus on core business needs
- Rapid deployment with DevOps best practices
- Integration with sales for competitive advantage


Achieving real savings
Aptitude’s Transparent Pricing
The #1 reason for startup failure is running out of cash with software engineering being one of the largest costs consuming up to 50% of investment capital.
Aptitude’s software engineering teams are provided for a fixed monthly fee that’s typically less than 50% of equivalent W-2 costs with transparent pricing that’s directly linked to the salary of your team members.
Aptitude also provides local staff augmentation and permanent placement solutions charging a fixed fee of only 10% of salary – again saving 50% of typical costs.
strategic exit options
Build Operate Transfer Model
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 a Build Operate Transfer option for fast growing clients where, over 3 years, we will establish your own captive offshore facility at minimal cost and risk thanks to our extensive offshore experience.
Our Build Operate Transfer model can further reduce marginal development costs to as low as 20% of W-2 equivalents and preserves the intellectual capital of your Aptitude team which in turn enhances 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.
