Challenges we can overcome
Skills
The project has stalled due to key developers moving on to new projects, or the development company going out of business mid-project leaving a skills gap.
Slippage
Throughout the life of the project there has been slippage on time, agreed budget, or deliverables. This has led to poor relationships with suppliers, frustration and even the project grinding to a halt.
Lethargy
Due to delays or time slippage in the project, momentum has dwindled and the project has ground to a halt as the team starts working on other projects.
Functionality
The software project doesn’t meet requirements or it has been produced using bad or outdated programming languages.
Scalability
The bespoke software is not futureproofed and therefore does not leave any room for your business to thrive and grow.
Feasibility
Since the project started there have been clashes with your developers over expectations for functionality, timelines or deliverables.
Technicality
A recent update has stopped your legacy software communicating with new software stalling the project.
Outsourcing
Projects outsourced offshore have ended up being unfinished or of poor quality.
Software project rescue services
Recovering
We can attempt to recover lost source code from compiled executables or web servers where possible.
Rebuilding
By rebuilding broken source code repositories, in-house development teams can work on the system again, rebooting the project.
Tuning
We can improve poorly performing systems and apps by reconfiguring or fine-tuning them.
Fixing
In poor quality systems our highly skilled team can fix bugs ensuring the system works efficiently.
Rewriting
We are able to take on old systems which have been written in obsolete programming languages, maintain them and update them with new technology, ensuring they are efficient and have the required functionality.

Our approach
There isn’t a project that can’t be saved, as projects fail for a variety of reasons. We’re here to identify the problem and bring your project back on track.
Investigation
Our software project rescue team will analyse your project, your progress, the data and your delivery requirements to determine where you are now and where you want to be.
Strategy
Working in collaboration with you we will create a rescue process strategy which will help you achieve your goals for the project within a realistic timescale.
Development
If software development is the right solution for you, our team of experienced software developers, project managers, business analysts and infrastructure engineers will work in collaboration with you to produce the software you need.
Recovering and debugging
If the most appropriate solution, our expert team can debug current systems, potentially recover lost code, and repair corrupted code as necessary.
Support and maintenance
If required, we are with you for the journey and offer ongoing support following the completion and implementation of the software as well as adding new features as required. However, and if appropriate, we can also train your staff to be independent and take the software on going forwards.
