Rescue a stuck software project
Do you have a project that has gone down the wrong path or is at risk as a result of a developer leaving? Are you unsure whether your enterprise system is secure or scalable? We can audit your project, present you with options and even step in and rescue the project. We can completely take over or work with an existing team.
Get in touchIf you’re uncertain about your software project, call Axios
We see a number of reasons why a software project can go off the rails. In some cases the development team didn’t have all the required roles/skills to be successful – you need analysts, designers, developers, testers and a project manager.
In other cases, the team may have only been skilled in a single platform, and in hindsight that platform wasn’t the right fit for where the project is now heading. It might even be that a key resource has left or you are worried about key-person risk, the security or scalability of your system or just have doubts about whether it could be done better?
Axios has helped many customers in this situation. We start by auditing what you have. We’ll present a report detailing our assessment of how well the software meets business needs, the suitability of the technology used, the scalability, performance, security and any other relevant issues. Armed with this information, we can generally present two or three options.
One common option is to simply address any shortfalls in the system and for us to take over maintenance so you can confidently use the application knowing you have support. If there is still a lot of work left to be done to make the system usable, we’ll generally present a “finish the current software” and a “start over” option with pros and cons for each. If the system has scalability or technology limitations, it might be practical to use it in the short-term but not long-term. We look at the immediate cost and lifetime cost of all options to help you decide what’s best for your business.
It’s not uncommon for us to be called in to provide some additional expertise to help an internal developer. As above, there are many skill-sets required to build a complex business application. A lone internal developer or a small team might be able to get so far, but then they will need assistance. If this is likely to be the case with your internal team, why not get us to do a review in the design stage to avoid costly rebuilds later on.

Audit
We can audit your software project at any stage, as an assurance step early on or as a disaster recover step if you lose a key resource or if the project runs off the rails.

Customer testimonials
We were looking for a local provider to do a number of projects with us. One was to conduct an audit of our existing software in order to give me an independent and transparent assessment of how viable the existing software was and in the future. They came on board at pretty short notice and undertook that process very independently and enabled us to really give a critical evaluation as to whether our software was fit for purpose going forward.
Axios are a really key partner to our company, they have invested a lot of time in to getting to know us, our organisation and even personally. They understand what is important to us. They supply the build and maintain and upgrade some very key software platforms that our business uses every day. Axios delivers a fantastic service. They are there to help us, they are really committed to our success. I would definitely recommend Axios to other businesses. We’ve had a great relationship with them. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
The longstanding partnership between Butterfields and Axios has flourished over the span of a decade. Axios’s solutions have been instrumental in preserving our competitive edge in a dynamic market environment. As both Butterfields and Axios continue to evolve, I anticipate our relationship extending
far beyond the
horizon.
Axios has been instrumental in assisting us with software recovery and ongoing development, proving to be a reliable and trusted business partner throughout our journey.
