Why consider Custom Software Development?
Explode Business Growth
No more sleepless nights worrying about meeting your financial forecasts
You should only consider custom software development if it will:
a) Increase Revenue: Opening up new opportunities for customers to be able to buy from you. This can include things such as e-Commerce or having a multi-channel approach.
You can also increase revenue by making it easier for repeat purchases. This could be through enhanced web apps or native apps that remove ‘friction’ from repeat purchases .
b) Decrease Costs: There is significant opportunity to improve operational efficiency with custom software development. This can dramatically decrease costs while also improving customer satisfaction.
c) Amplify Point of Difference: You can amplify your point of difference where your competition is irrelevant.
Where your customers don’t even consider going anywhere else. This is absolutely achievable with custom software development.

Message from our Director regarding our Partnership Model
Dear Business Manager,
Before I started this business, I was in the same position as you. I hired custom software development companies to do project work.
But there was one thing that truly amazed me. It happened all the time and I honestly could not believe it.
Our projects had tangible business benefits. When we outlined the business objectives, the consultants would enthusiastically nod.
Despite the ‘lip service’, they were never aligned with the business objectives. They always said they were. But their actions did not show this.
I believe the main reason for this was because project success was not linked to their remuneration. They would get paid their full fee regardless of project success.
This meant that the client and consultant had different motivations. The consultants were driven by billable hours. The client was driven by project objectives. The drivers were not aligned.
Do not get me wrong. All companies need to make a profit.
However, I always thought that there must be a better way. Which brings me to our offer to you.
An offer that I do not believe you will find from an Australian Software Development Company. One that has local consultants that will meet you face to face to really understand your business.
We only charge you the cost of our Australian employees
You only pay the hourly rate that we pay our employees.
This is their hourly salary including superannuation.
We cover all the other overheads such as payroll tax, office costs, management costs etc.
We only make a profit when project objectives are achieved
When the project objectives are achieved, that is when we make a profit.
The consultants that work on your project will also receive a bonus when the project objectives are met. Not by billable hours.
Everyone is aligned with meeting your project objectives.
All Australian Employees
All our consultants are employees based in Melbourne and Sydney.
We will visit you in your location to really understand your business.
If required, we can also work on your premises. We’ll understand your business completely.
Our Guarantee
If you engage a Melbourne or Sydney company that uses Australian employees that matches or betters our offer, we’ll work for one full day for free.
One full day of consulting that has a value of $1,000, absolutely FREE.

Why we don't offshore Custom Software Development
Offshoring significantly increases stress and can lead to project failure
Many potential customers ask this question. ‘Why don’t we just use cheap resources in India or China?’
Some Australian companies are doing this. Charging local rates and then shipping the work off to low cost centres.
Not only is this ethically wrong, it does not deliver the best outcome for you as a client.
Here’s why we don’t offshore our project work:
Communication is critical
The most important aspect of software development is communication between the client and the developer.
The problem with offshoring is that communication is challenging. This can lead to the wrong product being developed. A product that does not emphasize your point of difference in the market.
Where possible, our developers can sit with your team to maximize communication.
Cost savings are misleading
As outlined above, there are communication problems with low cost locations.
One way to overcome these communication problems is to have a local consultant document everything in an extreme level of detail. The developers refer to this ‘contract’ for what to do.
Now you have the overhead of paying a local consultant to write this behemoth document. As a client, you now have to review and sign it this monster document like it was a contract.
Then there is an additional overhead of a local manager being the ‘translator’ between yourself and the offshore developers.
Wouldn’t be just easier to ‘talk’ to the developers and tell them what you want?
We follow an agile process. This prioritises a working system that you can provide feedback on rather than reams of documentation.
However, this process relies heavily on good communication. Ideally, face to face communication.
This is not possible with offshore development.
Substantially increases risk
Software projects can deliver tremendous value to your business. They can create such an advantage that your competition becomes irrelevant.
However, they have a significant amount of risk. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying.
For such an important project, why increase the risk the sake of a few dollars?
If the project will not deliver significant value, then why do the project in the first place?
Testimonials
“His knowledge and clarity of communication was outstanding.”
Antoun engaged Gaj from Ember Software as an IT Strategy consultant to help take our IT to the next level. His knowledge and clarity of communication was outstanding. At all stages, he acted with honesty and integrity. We were very happy with his services and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to other companies.

“He was able to understand the commercial and technical dimensions of the opportunity very quickly”
I recently engaged Gaj from Ember Software to assist with IT strategy and due diligence on a tech startup opportunity I was considering. He was able to understand the commercial and technical dimensions of the opportunity very quickly and I was very happy with the quality of the work.
Ruwan Weerasooriya
“Service was second to none…”
Gaj developed a comprehensive scope for a platform that we are building and did an excellent job. He was on time and understood what we were looking to create. Service was second to none and the cost to develop the scope was very reasonable considering the work that went into it.
