For almost 20 years, we at Softability have helped our customers with significant product development projects, offering skilled and considerate software development professionals.

We support our customers throughout the entire software development process, from specifications to product completion. Our competence covers the entire spectrum of software development, from hardware-oriented programming to cloud services and almost everything in between.

Our industry expertise covers demanding applications in e.g. the medical and industrial fields, plus extremely stringent requirements for quality and other similar factors. Our work is often guided by international regulations, which are part of daily work in the medical industry, for example.

From hardware-oriented software development to cloud services

We help our customers to implement all of their digital solutions in all phases of software development.

No matter what phase your product development project is in, we’re certain to be able to help you. We are often involved right from the start, specifying and designing the functionality of the planned solution. At this stage in particular, we can provide our extremely robust and innovative technical competence that we have acquired over the years. We are familiar with many of the latest new technologies, and are happy to brainstorm with you how to utilize them in your project.

We are technologically independent and won’t push for you to include a certain supplier’s technologies in your solution; instead, we always strive to objectively find the solution that best meets your needs.

Our competence covers the entire broad spectrum of software development, so we can help you whether you need hardware-oriented software development, UI development, or quality assurance.

Between them, our embedded software developers have hundreds of years of experience with extremely wide-ranging embedded software development. We are familiar with platforms such as Embedded Linux, RTOS and bare metal. It would take far too long for us to list all the HW platforms and programming languages we are familiar with here. But we are confident enough to promise that we are already very familiar with the platform you’re planning.

Moving away from hardware, our strong competence with other technologies takes centre stage. We are very experienced with demanding and scaling server solutions, work station software, various cloud services, mobile solutions, and web services.

In practice, almost all modern solutions relate to a network in one way or another, so we are happy to provide you with our special expertise in such projects, not forgetting data security.

We have been a national trailblazer in cloud services, as the first commercial MS Azure Solution we provided was deployed 14 years ago. We have exceptionally advanced competence with Microsoft technologies in general, and we are a gold-star partner in areas of competence relating to cloud technology and app development.

Our pioneering approach to technology has always been a strong presence in our operations, and collaboration with us will provide the customer with extensive competence in the latest technologies. One example of such cutting-edge technologies is XR technology, which we have been successfully integrating into our customers’ solutions for six years. More about these below.

A pioneer in XR technology

Our investment in new technologies strengthens our skills at the cutting edge of digital development. We were one of the very first in Finland to heavily invest in increasing XR competences, as we deployed our first Mixed Reality (MR) project back in 2016.

Since then, we have become familiar with various Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR) projects, and have brought our innovative skills to our customers to utilize.

High-quality software development

High-quality work is always strongly present in everything we do. The solutions we provide for medical needs, for example, are an excellent example of projects where there is no room for missteps or “half-baked” deployment.

Professional and demanding software development leaves nothing to chance, and a precisely specified process is used to ensure that deployment meets all of the set requirements. This often also means the automation of certain quality assurance tasks. DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, container technologies and test automation are routine for our experts in quality assurance.

Particular attention must be paid to quality and maintainability in situations when the life cycle of the product to be deployed is extremely long and it is highly likely that changes to the solution will be made along the way by people who were not involved with the original deployment. How can we make those changes to the solution and be certain that nothing will break?

The human factor

Despite all of our skills with technologies and processes, we believe that the single most important factor behind a successful software development project is a motivated and healthy specialist who can focus 100% on the task at hand.

Over the years, we have become better and better at learning our customers’ software development needs. During collaboration, we have found out the kind of skills and people that each of our customers value, and we of course try to match the right people with the right jobs.

We pay particular attention to make sure that the experts we present to our customers are extremely motivated and suitable for the planned tasks. Of course, it’s important to find a person who meets the customer’s wishes, but it is also important to find a customer and project that the person finds interesting and challenging. This guarantees the high quality and continuity of operations.

We take good care of our workers and we consider their needs. In doing so, we make sure that this caring approach is transferred to their work. Meaningful, interesting, and diverse work, plus the opportunity to develop in your work creates a good basis for motivation and wellbeing at work.

It is a matter of pride for us that our experts start work in the morning motivated, free from distraction, and with everything they need to work well. A happy and focused developer is a productive and high-quality programmer.

Expert and motivated workers = satisfied customers

When a customer chooses us as their partner, they know that skilled, committed, and motivated people will be joining their project. The customer can trust us to take good care of our people and that they will then pay that forward in their own work. Our customer satisfaction has been through the roof from year to year.

Customers have thanked us particularly for our exceptionally low staff turnover rates. In a long-term product development project, every change of staff causes a significant amount of extra work, and lots of accumulated skills are lost from the project. It is especially valuable to be able to work with a partner that experiences as few of these change situations as possible.

If you would like to work with skilled and motivated people, Softability is an excellent option for you. Take a look at our references and contact us to find out how we could help you.
