Some friends reached out recently – experienced, technical founders with plenty of experience very successfully building and scaling products and teams. And yet – that was the last thing they wanted to do.
We were surprised… and then we weren’t.
They showed us their proof of concept, and it was brilliant. Well – the idea was. Their ad hoc AWS deployment was cobbled together. Tiny tweaks were a major headache.
They were determined to build a lean organization around the core competencies that truly differentiated their business, and software development wasn’t one of them.
We worked with them first to migrate their proof of concept to a well architected, clean and scalable AWS implementation. But what we did next was even more impactful:
We took over all of their ongoing system updates, monitoring, metrics tracking, incident response and resolutions, and more so they didn’t have to build any of those capabilities in house. In the end, it is costing them less than a single FTE who could do the same work, and by staying involved, we’re able to jump in whenever they need value-driven features and improvements. We call this Software Development as a Service.
If you are looking for a more efficient way to run your software development function, we’d love to chat! Reach out, or take a quick look at what we do at sevenpico.com.
