Stephan Schwab and associates plot a course for you towards improved efficiency and effectiveness in your software development efforts.
We understand that rapid development of reliable software solutions is crucial in today's fast-paced business world. In order to achieve this, we do have a few tricks up our sleeves and would be delighted to meet you and your team for an introductory call.
Embedded into your team, working as an active member who makes meaningful contributions to your software product, the Senior Developer Advocate makes your development effort more effective. Consequently, efficiency increases. Your organization gets working software solutions to business problems earlier.
The embedded Senior Developer Advocate is a very cost effective way to increase the technical skills of each team member without losing productivity by sending everyone to classroom training which is often general and not specific to your needs.
We have extensive experience in the field. In a similar way as medical doctors perform peer consultations we can do technical assessments before wide ranging decisions.
Finding truly the right people for software development teams is very difficult. Software developers' experience cannot be evaluated in the same manner as other professions. Seniority is not indicated by using the same techniques, tools, frameworks, programming languages for many years. In fact the longer a developer does the same, the less experience the person actually is.
We can assist your organization by reviewing candidates or assisting in the search for suitable people.
Cloud computing seems great. Computing resources, databases and other infrastructure gets created on demand.
Unfortunately the honeymoon with cloud computing ends abruptly when the bills are getting higher and higher and the cost for running in the cloud eat up your profit margin.
We have extensive knowledge and experience since the 1990s running physical infrastructure. While some years ago administration of many servers was difficult and companies used dedicated teams for it today there is tooling available that makes it not more complicated than software development itself.
Teams that are running a whole SaaS product independently are organized in what's called DevOps. We can help you with that.
With our help you get working software in front of actual users sooner. We manage to ship early and often. We help you to measure the impact of the new software solution - either as a software product available on the open market or just for use within your organization.
We can develop customer software for you or augment an existing development for a while to build top notch software that will be easy to maintain in the future. If you augment your team, your team's skill will be improved and the benefit will outlive our presence for a long time.
