Application services | Optimise your digital investment | NashTech
We understand that the delivery of innovative, tailor-made software means efficiency, scale and speed further down the line – giving you the commercial advantage you’re looking for. But modernising and managing your applications can be a complex and time-consuming process. Our engineers will help you turn a proof of concept into a fully executed solution, extending your capabilities, helping you become compliant and continuously assessing and improving to ensure better software, better processes and better outcomes.
Before you can move forward with application estate planning, you need to know what you have, and whether it’s working.
We assess your current product offerings, map the value stream, analyse how they fit together as a whole, and then define strategies to make meaningful improvements. Our team visualise your technical debt and identify incremental improvements that can have the most return on investment. Working in collaboration with you to ensure every detail is considered, we provide an accurate understanding of your legacy systems, enabling us to develop the business case around renewing existing applications and ensure your application estate is efficient, dependable and fit for purpose.
Whilst DevOps can be seen simply as a cross-functional combination of the terms and concepts for "development" and "operations", at NashTech we see it as a means to enabling greater speed to value for clients.
We focus on three areas: flow and systems thinking, amplifying feedback loops, and fostering a culture of continual experimentation and learning. We underpin the DevOps mindset and agile training for our teams with tooling supporting automation and Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. The outcome is better solutions, delivered faster and more frequently.
The ability to manage and optimise your digital delivery platforms is essential to properly harness the power of your digital experience, and includes the ability to design, track and analyse user journeys through their digital channels.
Our team of experts help you to build solutions that allow you to manage every aspect of your content for all your channels, integrating the solution with your digital assets, media, products and other content. We create solutions that are comprised of secure, scalable and clean code and deliver compelling, engaging experiences. By building innovative, human-centred applications, you can uncover new opportunities through new business models and offer an unparalleled service, capturing key information on customer interactions, with content across formats to optimise engagement and value add.
We understand how important it is to stay ahead of the curve by building business-centric, future-proof, tailored application portfolios with cutting-edge technologies that deliver real transformation.
Our engineers deliver enterprise-grade software solutions, leveraging agile approaches, proven customer collaboration models, engineering disciplines, DevOps culture and our own accelerators (libraries, frameworks and tools) to solve your toughest challenges. We believe that excellent software engineering is at the frontier of digital business and we go beyond features and backlogs to emphasise a broader look at great user experiences and outcomes. We enable you to achieve the agility required to improve time to market, reduce costs, build resiliency and enhance customer experiences, while positioning for growth through innovation. Additionally, we integrate a wide variety of systems, plug ins, extensions, and tools within your existing solutions and business systems for a more streamlined approach to your workflows, designed to maximize efficiency and boost your ROI.
Today, more than ever before, it’s vital to continuously modernise your business, fuel innovation and become more agile, and this may require compressing years of change into months in order to compete and win in the digital era.
Working alongside your teams, we quickly identify priorities before building and deploying modernisation sprints at scale. We continuously optimise processes to reduce cost and risk while increasing speed at every stage, modernising legacy applications and their ecosystems and transforming them into cost-effective, modern and sustainable platforms that use a fully automated, tools-based approach.
Modernisation services don’t just drive reduced costs and risk, or solely increase agility. Our approach – to consolidate, migrate, re-architect, replace and automate your IT systems – focuses on the user experience and creates additional business value for your organisation that results in increased collaboration, productivity and revenue.
We understand that managing and maintaining a suite of applications can take away from the time you need to look forward and innovate.
Using our knowledge and expertise we take care of your end-to-end application journey, from build through to support, maintenance and enhancement, blending ITIL focussed service management with Cloud and modern software development. Maintaining a flexible approach that’s tailored to you and your organisations, we help you to optimise your applications by reviewing and tuning at a programming level, in addition to performance improvements with the infrastructure. By adopting this ROI-focused applications transformation and management delivery model, your organisation will be able to shift more IT spend from operations to innovation, giving you the opportunity to invest in digital strategies and accelerate business growth.
