Windows C++ engineering
We maintain and extend existing Windows applications written in C++.
Most of the software we work on has been in production for years. It still ships. The original authors are no longer on the project. A rewrite is usually not the job.
What we work on
Native Windows applications and services that companies still depend on.
We take on
- Maintenance
- Stability work
- Features
- Compiler and toolchain upgrades
- Build modernization
We don’t take on
- Greenfield web or mobile products
- A full rewrite as the default recommendation
Services
A defined project, or reserved capacity each month.
Project work
A scoped engagement with a start, an end, and a defined outcome.
- Compiler or toolchain upgrades
- Crash and stability work
- Features on an existing codebase
- Build modernization
- Porting within Windows
Ongoing support
Reserved capacity each month for systems already in production.
- Defects
- Small changes
- The work that appears when Windows, a compiler, or a vendor library moves
How we work
Scope is written down before the work starts.
We work with clients worldwide.
-
Write to us
Tell us what the software is and what it needs.
-
Agree the scope in writing
What is in, what is out, and the dates. Nothing starts before that.
-
Do the work against it
Anything outside the written scope is agreed separately.
