FAQ
What to expect from our software development services
How is your software development different from off‑the‑shelf solutions?
Off‑the‑shelf solutions optimise for the market; we optimise for your business. Through custom development you are able to ensure that the specific nuances of your technology landscape are considered and accounted for, while ensuring smooth integration to all required and existing systems. Custom builds also avoid unnecessary features, reduce long-term constraints, and adapt as your business evolves.
How “custom” are your custom solutions?
Every solution we build is engineered around your requirements, users and constraints in a technology stack that suits your existing landscape and priorities. Where we use our custom accelerators, they serve as foundational building blocks, meaning you own your architecture and source code.
What role do accelerators play in development?
Over the years of building custom solutions for organisations across sectors, we started to notice certain common situations. From these, we built various accelerators that act as a “quick-start” for our engineering teams, allowing more rapidly value delivery while maintaining quality. These accelerators are contunously evolved internally, and are royalty-free, source-included, and designed to be adapted.
What technology stacks do you support?
BBD is tech agnostic, meaning we build based on suitability, longevity and your existing ecosystem. Saying that, we are highly skilled in all major technologies, with our employees continuously developing their skillsets, and playing with new-to-market technologies.
How do you scale teams as needs change?
Our delivery model supports dynamic team scaling, allowing capacity to grow or shrink as priorities evolve, while preserving continuity and domain knowledge.
