Accelerated Software Development

Digital platforms drive our world. It touches our lives every day. Today’s software development is mired with poor quality, vanity deliverables, and lost opportunities. Our accelerators help you to go from Product Vision to Working Software at the speed of your thought. Develop full digital platforms in weeks instead of months or years.​

With thinkbridge, there's a new way thereTM

Having built software for over 30+ years, we went back to the first principles to rethink how we develop software. The only thing that matters is getting software to production, in the hands of the users. Real software development starts when you have made that first contact with the user. That meant building software fast and iterating fast, while maintaining quality.

​We built our thinkstack accelerator platform with this single goal –
How do we get software to production fast and iterate in days, not months, not years.

Our accelerator driven approach dramatically reduces decision latency by going from Idea to software, quickly and reducing the tools and processes in between.

The root cause of software project failures is decision latency

Good Decision Latency

Poor Decision Latency

Successful
Challenged
Failed

Decision latency theory states that the value of the interval is greater than the quality of the decision

When you are able to go from "Vision to Software" fast, you can see the effects of your decisions sooner and make course-corrections faster

And that thought process was the basis for thinkstack, our accelerator platform. Our engineering enablement platform bridges the expertise gap, elevates developers, and helps them build custom software at the speed of thought.

Be a Cheetah

#thinkbigger,

#movefaster,

#gofurther​

Cheetah’s law – Swift decisions are better than long drawn-out analysis. ​You do that by going directly from Vision to software with minimal steps in between

While others continue to repeat the mistakes of the past, we are changing the way software is developed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I license the ASD platform?

Not at this time. ASD is our internal engineering enablement platform that elevates our engineers to be able to deliver quality software fast. We believe that our clients should not have to worry about dealing with building software and focus on the business.

Is ASD a no-code or a low-code platform?

It is neither. ASD generates actual code that can be further enhanced outside of the ASD platform. No-code or low-code platform generate proprietary code and locks you into their platform.

Why is there a ‘Review & Verify’ step done by a software engineer if ASD generates the code?

ASD generates code with amazing accuracy. But to make code into software requires human intervention to ensure the solution that is generated actually solves the problem and adheres to the design and the requirements of what the original idea or vision was. Software engineers trust but verify what ASD generates, identify improvement opportunities and ensure it is built right and is production ready. ​

Can my developers simply use ASD without signing up for your services?

Our engineers are specifically trained on how to use ASD to developer platforms quickly. Our developer workflow and processes are specifically designed to produce outcomes. Allowing your developers to use ASD means just handing your team yet another tool, and not addressing the rest of the software development lifecycle. ​

Can I use ASD to develop software by myself?

ASD is not yet another tool. It is specifically designed to elevate engineers who know how to problem solve, so they can code faster with much higher quality. We are not in the business of giving you at tool so we can own your data. Also, there are plenty of other tools that allow you to build software if that is what you want to do.

Does ASD generate proprietary code?

No, it does not. It generates code in industry standard programming languages such as .NET core and Angular.

Why do you generate test cases and other artifacts if everything is ‘generated’?

We want our clients to retain the ability to take the generated platform and hand it to their development team to continue to build and maintain if they choose to. We generate all the artifacts that are typical to traditional software development to be able to transition out of our generation platform easily.​
