SCAD SoftwareSales & Marketing

Oct. 2022London, England, United KingdomIn 1998, SCAD Software was started with an idea – there has to be a better way to build software and directly address the challenges businesses face in dealing with the software industry. We have been on a mission for over 20 years to transform the way that software is built. To make it faster, more efficient and improve the level of business outcomes for clients. Business velocity is the term we have created for the ultimate value we deliver to clients. Whether you are looking to drive revenues, create operational efficiencies, improve your customer experience or modernize legacy applications- our technology enables you to adapt quickly to changing business requirements. Instead of refactoring code every few years at significant cost and time, we future-proof you from changes in technology which removes the fear, pain and cost of having to redevelop every few years. Finally, the way we build software typically gets our clients to market 75% faster than traditional software development. Taken together these benefits delivers technology that adapts to the speed of your business. Rest assured, our mission to discover ways to turn ‘minutes to seconds’ in software development has resulted in an approach that has been tried and tested for over 20 years in a wide range of environments from large banks to innovative startups. In both cases, the benefit is a methodology that removes the frustrations and blockages created by applications with large amounts of source code. More to the point, in many cases we are able to share the risk with our clients and are largely remunerated on delivery / real business outcomes. There is also peace of mind in the knowledge that we are a team of people with an equal mixture of business and technical experience that we can bring to the table. This is important to help our clients take the right approach when building technology that will deliver genuine business outcomes.
