COMMON CHALLENGES
The world is full of "completed" software that no one actually uses. Many development agencies focus on checking boxes and hitting lines of code, rather than understanding the business objective the code is supposed to achieve.
Many teams move straight into coding without a clear strategy. This leads to "scope creep," where you pay for dozens of expensive features that you don’t need - while the core problem remains unsolved.
Rushed development usually results in "spaghetti code" - software that is fragile, hard to update, and expensive to maintain. If your developers are afraid to change a line of code for fear of breaking the entire system, you have a technical debt problem.
You shouldn't need a Computer Science degree to understand the status of your project. The "black box" approach - where you hand over requirements and wait three months for a demo - leads to products that miss the mark of product-market fit.
The Tandem method
We focus on more than just building apps - our goal is to partner with your business. Our approach is designed to eliminate the anxiety of software development through real transparency and reliable updates.
0
We don't operate as a distant vendor. We meet regularly, participate in your sprints, and become a literal extension of your team. This ensures that every pivot or priority shift is captured in real-time.
0
Every project begins with an audit of your requirements. We find the "hidden" technical hurdles early - such as integration bottlenecks or data security gaps - before they become expensive mid-project corrections.
0
We build with the future in mind. By working on Microsoft Azure, we ensure your application has enterprise-grade security, global scalability, and the ability to integrate new technologies and data tools from day one.
0
We don’t believe in "big bang" launches. We keep a steady pace that allow us to ship functional updates every few weeks. You see progress in a live environment, not just in a screen-share or slide deck.
DELIVERABLES
Our deliverables go beyond the source code. We provide the strategic foundation for long-term software health.
We create a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) and a technical roadmap that prioritizes high-impact fixes, ensuring your budget is spent on features that actually move the needle.
Whether it’s a cross-platform mobile app or a complex web dashboard, we deliver clean, documented code and API-first architectures that ensure your product is easy to maintain and expand.
We help implement code reviews, documentation standards, and team mentorship. Our goal is to improve your team’s co-operation and output, making them more effective every day.
BEYOND DEVELOPMENT
Building the product is just the beginning. We’re here for the long haul:

Managing Director
When it comes to work, James is especially passionate about three things; bringing experts from multiple fields together, building novel solutions to complex problems, and making the world a better place.
After earning a Bachelor of Commerce in Management Systems from the University of Alberta, James has spent the last decade performing Business Analysis and managing Development teams.
We aim for a "Minimum Viable Product" (MVP) within 8–12 weeks. However, because we use agile development, you will see a functional staging environment with basic features within the first 2 weeks.
For established organizations, Azure provides above-industry standard security and compliance tools. It also offers seamless integration for companies already utilizing Microsoft 365 or Active Directory.
Yes. Unlike some agencies, we believe in total ownership. You own 100% of the Intellectual Property and source code from day one.
Low-code is great for simple internal tools, but it often hits a "performance ceiling." Custom development allows for true scalability, unique features, and lower long-term licensing fees.
We use a transparent JIRA ticket-based prioritization method. This ensures we stay focused on the features that provide the most value while keeping the budget in check.
