Software Engineering
We help our customers succeed by adopting our best traits; absorbing our expertise, assimilating our processes, and leveraging our Intellectual Property, to deliver big outcomes.
Whether it's helping you create a roadmap, enabling your teams to be more efficient & effective, reducing delivery friction, or bringing a project back on-track, we can help.
Strategy
Brain Trust
Senior stakeholders are usually operating at (or beyond) capacity. Our Brain Trust service gives you the ability to carve out some time to think; it's also the easiest way for you to commercially engage with us to provide ad hoc advice on any topic.
We can act as a sounding board, providing impartial advice, challenging your thinking and introducing you to research, guidance, or technology you may have missed.
Security & Compliance
Risk management strategies require multiple layers of protection that limit the pathways that could result in a data loss or breach.
Endjin have worked with some of the largest companies in the world to create a security model and data privacy architecture for the Microsoft Cloud, which we subject to external audit by both clients and independent third party security consultants.
Leveraging Microsoft's impressive array of Azure certifications, and using technologies such as Key Vault and SQL Server Always Encrypted, we help you to employ the latest data encryption, replication and monitoring, ensure rigid access controls, auditing and application configuration, and provide a clear segregation of duties, roles, and responsibilities within the organization.
Tech Portfolio Governance & Roadmap
Modern businesses need to replicate the best features of a start-up: focus, agility, flexibility, and cohesion – in high-growth and enterprise organizations of hundreds or even thousands of developers.
We can help senior stakeholders implement a disciplined way to manage their R&D investment portfolio and solution roadmap to the needs of your business, or plan an organizational restructure.
New Proposition Development
Working with start-ups, high growth businesses, and enterprises, we have evolved a principles-based approach to new proposition development, which can be applied to a wide variety of businesses.
It's based on MIT's disciplined entrepreneurship approach, incorporating great tools like the Value Proposition Canvas and the Business Model Canvas.
Governance
Team Maturity Assessment
Businesses often pose the question "why aren't my teams delivering at the speed we need?" The reasons are often quite subtle and difficult to identify.
We apply our standard data science methodology to investigate this business problem. Non-intrusively gathering simple metrics, we characterize processes and dynamics, providing observations and recommendations to help you to understand how to unblock and unlock the potential in your teams.
Pull Request Review
It's important for a business of any size to have confidence in the software it produces; from a start-up focused on rapidly delivering new features, to a large enterprise that prioritizes performance and stability.
Through the Pull Request mechanism in modern source control systems, endjin can act as an impartial reviewer, providing micro-level code reviews as changes are committed, ensuring quality and gradually upskilling your teams in best practice and high quality software development.
Build
Architectural Guidance
Solution architecture in modern, distributed systems can seem daunting. The days of n-tier systems are behind us, and the plethora of technology choices increase every day.
Endjin can help your architects to understand the technology landscape, and identify best-practice solutions whether on-prem, hybrid, or cloud, and deliver practical examples, benchmarking & performance tests to prove the architecture in your application.
DevOps Delivery
Endjin can scope and deliver entire projects. From complete systems, to isolated features, or proof-of-concept, we de-risk your most complex requirements and set cost and quality constraints that you can rely on.
Endjin have extensive experience and a library of intellectual property which help you to deliver a fully integrated DevOps experience, from build to application lifecycle monitoring, manual and automated support and troubleshooting, whether on-prem or in the cloud.
Microsoft Azure PaaS & Serverless Adoption
With green field projects, or as you develop your cloud infrastructure, it becomes possible to take advantage of more sophisticated PaaS or Serverless offerings within Azure, increasing capability, performance, and scalability, and further reducing management overheads.
We can help you to evolve your solution architecture to reflect a modern, distributed cloud solution, and navigate the bewildering array of technologies available to pick the ones with the right performance, cost and security profile for your system.
We can then bring our library of products, intellectual property, and experience to bear, to accelerate development with a PoC or full build, upskilling your developers and ops teams on the characteristics of the new solution.
Data & AI
Microsoft Big Compute & Big Data
What do you do when you have scaled your compute intensive workloads to the biggest box that your hardware vendor can supply, but your application is still going to breach your SLA? Or you've got a fantastic idea for a solution, but it depends on petabytes of data? Or both?
Endjin have deep experience of building solutions at hyper-scale, and we can help you to understand and re-architect your workload to enable execution to be distributed across many different machines. Using technology like Azure Batch, HDInsight and Azure Data Lake, you can scale to hundreds of thousands of cores and petabytes of storage.
We can then help you visualize that process, using tools like Power BI, and automate reporting, operations, and end-user billing.
Real World Data Science
Interest in Data Science & Machine Learning has sky-rocketed as businesses realize that they need deeper and more valuable insights into their data. But how do you manage an essentially open-ended process where you may never get the 'right' answer?
Endjin have developed a pragmatic approach based on a series of iterative experiments, relying on evidence-based decision making to answer the most important business questions.
Data Science Operationalization
Data ingestion, transformation, and enrichment are at the core of any advanced analytics solution. That might be using Machine Learning models to make predictions, calling an HDInsight step to process your big data sources, or bursting out to Azure Batch for any custom processing.
Endjin can design and develop flexible, extensible, scalable, multi-tenant, polyglot data processing pipelines to power your intelligent solutions.
