Software development to support business and value growth

Today, software development is increasingly a business model in itself, not just a support function. Strategic software development is not a single project, but a controlled continuous process that protects the company from technical debt and ensures market response speed. We offer our services flexibly: whether you need an individual consultant or an entire development team that works independently.

 

How Loihde is implements strategic software development

Loihde implements software development strategically based on three basic principles:

Architecture-driven development

  • We plan our solutions to be modular and decentralised, so that they are easily scalable and also remain adaptable in the future.  

 Flexible team model

  • We bring our experts directly into the customer’s development work, from individual architects to entire teams. Development work is seamlessly merged with planning, implementation and maintenance.

 Continuous value creation

  • We utilise data and DevOps practices to keep pace with business goals. The goal is continuous progress without unnecessary bottlenecks.

Loihde’s implementation model guides development in a controlled manner from idea to continuous use

Loihde’s implementation model is designed to respond to business-critical needs quickly, but without compromising on system sustainability and manageability.

  1. Strategic definition: We don't just create pilots, we start with production-ready, quickly releasable versions. The key is to plan a scalable architecture that minimises the accumulation of technical debt.

  2. Agile implementation: The development is carried out in an agile manner and has been integrated into our ongoing services from the outset. We use a data-driven feedback mechanism to guide the development cycle.

  3. Controlled releasing (CI/CD): Releasing is based on an automated Continuous Delivery (CD) process that focuses on fast and secure value realisation. We use GitOps principles to enable frequent, small releases and minimise risk.

  4. Continuous development: When the system is in use, we focus on a data-driven mindset and continuous improvement. The development work continues as an evolution that optimises the value of business.

Frequently asked questions about Loihde’s software development

How do you measure the quality and value of software development work?

 We monitor both internal development indicators (e.g. code quality, delivery speed) and business-related KPIs, such as number of users, operational costs and value realisation.  

How do you ensure that software development supports our overall architecture?

 With the support of solution architects, our experts ensure that each implementation follows the customer’s business architecture and supports its strategic goals. We don't create silos, we build integrated entities.  

How does Loihde’s model prevent the accumulation of technical debt?

 We focus on Composable architecture and Microservices principles. This enables independent development cycles and technology updates. Technical debt management is an ongoing process that we guide through data and regular architecture reviews.

 We offer flexible resourcing according to needs - from entire, independently working teams to individual lead developer and architect roles. We optimise the resourcing according to the urgency of the project.
