Embedded engineers work within your existing delivery process. For a managed build, we provide the delivery structure and take responsibility for release and support.
The work is defined before implementation and reviewed through to release and handover.
Discover and scope
We review your processes, systems and goals, then agree the scope, budget and timeline with you.
Build and ship
We build and test your system in planned stages, with progress reviews at each agreed milestone.
Train and hand over
We deploy, document and train your staff, then provide ongoing support once the system is live.
Integrated with your delivery team.
The engagement follows your delivery process where one exists. For a new team or system, we establish the working arrangements at the outset.
Delivery tools
We use your repositories, issue tracking and communication channels. Where these are missing, we can establish them as part of the work.
Availability
Our team works UK hours. Meeting and review schedules are agreed with the people responsible for delivery.
Team structure
Our engineers can join an existing delivery team or take responsibility for engineering where there is no internal team.
Client access
Code, project records and technical documentation are maintained in systems your organisation controls.
Scope and priorities
We review requirements against cost, dependencies and expected value before committing engineering time.
Operational handover
Documentation, access and training are included in the transition to the team responsible for the system.
Before we start.
What we need to begin
Access to the right people and systems is necessary to assess the work and make delivery decisions.
A decision maker. A named contact who can resolve questions about scope, priorities and acceptance.
System access. Access to the relevant applications, data and technical documentation, subject to your security requirements.
Operational knowledge. Time with the people who use or run the existing process, so requirements reflect the work as it is done.
An operational owner. A decision on whether your team will maintain the system or whether ongoing support is required from us.
UK delivery, with site visits where required
Our team is based in Chester and works with organisations across the UK. Most engineering is carried out remotely; site visits are arranged for work that requires direct access to people, processes or equipment.
Observing operational processes during discovery
Assessing hardware and on-site integrations
Running in-person training where required
Holding project workshops with relevant stakeholders
Ownership and handover.
The delivery arrangement includes access to the assets and information needed to operate and maintain the system.
Source code held in your repository under your licence
Infrastructure hosted in your cloud accounts
Data retained in systems under your control
Technical and operational documentation
Training or a defined ongoing support arrangement

Let us build your future
Bring us a plan or just an idea. We will arrange a discovery meeting with you to go through it.
