Software & Development 

Our tech experts are constantly pushing the boundaries of the industry, asking the important questions and providing thought provoking answers

We are your digital problem solving partner

All of business is about function – what you can do. This is where a progressive organisation will gain competitive advantage in how well that functionality can be pulled together.  

  • It’s about connecting your company internally 
  • It’s about connecting your company to the outside world 

That’s what we do. We pull business systems together, develop new functionality with a focus on quality and accelerate plans to digitally transform the organisation.

We help customers to understand their challenges: Starting with an outside-in approach to problem solving, we then identify what functional applications we need to develop to solve that problem.  

We build those apps with human-centric design: We enable business processes, developing the necessary app functionality in any modern software dev language.   

We provide the digital paste that brings it all together: Using APIs, we can integrate disparate business systems and processes to create interconnected business ecosystems.  

We ensure consistent value and performance: By applying quality frameworks that have been built over 20 years by some of the brightest minds in the industry. 

At iOCO we develop software and application products, APIs, custom solutions, microservices and integration solutions for organisations looking to make their people’s lives simpler and more efficient.

What sets us apart is our ability to handle every phase of software development under one roof. We start with the ideation phase, move through design and build, conduct thorough testing, deliver the final product, and continue to provide support. We ensure robust app security and make continuous improvements over time. This holistic approach is unique to us at iOCO and differentiates us from many development houses that only handle parts of this process. 

  • We excel at designing and building large-scale solutions and handling service-based integration to produce rich web, Windows and mobile apps, as well as  data-intensive apps with complex online transaction and analytical processing.  
  • We are the people with the modern toolbox to make function and competitive advantage happen for our clients and their customers.  
  • We put the users at the heart of every function because there is no business need without people, and there is little or no success without user adoption.  

Why choose iOCO as your software and app development partner?

  • We have strong project management capabilities, constant project reviews and controls to track delivery and ensure quality.  
  • We are advisory-led and technology-agnostic, using only the best-fit tech to solve challenges.   
  • We enable clients to take their place and participate fully in a truly digital, mobile and data-driven future.  
  • Our Staff On Demand offering can ramp up your software/application development team as needed.  

We help organisations realise their digital ambitions. It’s no longer just about ERP, it’s about creating an interconnected ecosystem that services the needs of the business and its users.  

To achieve this we focus on four key areas – Understand, Design, Develop and Optimise. 
1
Understand
  • We get to know your business inside and out, and we do the same for your people.  
  • We perform a technical review on your ICT environment, from top to bottom.  
  • Once we have an understanding of what your business needs to achieve and how your people want to do it, we then move onto the next phase. 
2
Design
  • We design with the end in mind, keeping the user in focus throughout.  
  • We apply human-centred design thinking and practices to solve problems not only for our clients, but for their customers too.  
  • We test the entire user experience with the clickable pro-types before moving to the app development phase. 
3
Develop
  • We use APIs, cloud-native software, modern technology platforms and reusable code to develop functionality in a way that ensures fastest time to market.  
  • We focus on quality assurance throughout, making use of automated testing capabilities.  
4
Optimise
  • We focus on value and every recommendation has a clear business-use case; the advice we give delivers return in value at every increment in the journey.  
  • We introduce optimisation by looking at how to achieve your desired end-state through short, medium and long-term recommendations. 
  • We work to optimise your DevOps by understanding current dev and ops teams, processes and tooling and recommending changes that will enable continuous delivery and quick time to value. 

We bring your organisation in line with best practices through: 

  • Project Reviews: Review projects against standards and practices to enable successful outcome.  
  • Competency Reviews: Assessing end-to-end project delivery to identify gaps in skills, processes and tools, making the necessary recommendations to bridge the gap.   
  • Cloud optimisation: Focusing on how best to do things to ensure that you make the most out of your investment in Cloud by introducing efficiencies and reducing operating costs. 
  • Application modernisation 
  • Cloud migration  
  • Security (SecOps)
