What does working with Cactus Digital actually involve?
We manage the entire software development lifecycle from the discovery phase to final product delivery. A dedicated team of software engineers, business analysts and user researchers works with you through the project, with a single point of contact throughout.
Who owns the software you build?
You do. With bespoke software, sole ownership of the intellectual property and the source code sits with you, along with full control of the development lifecycle and budget. If you later choose to hand the system to another team, you can.
How do you run projects?
We work with an Agile, well-structured process: short iterations, quick prototyping so you can visualise the system early, and continuous delivery with automated deployment. You see working software regularly rather than a single big release at the end.
How do you price a project?
Every project is scoped individually, which is why we start with a free consultation. You get a clear picture of the solution, the approach and the budget before anything is committed.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope, but our approach is designed to shorten the time to value: rapid prototyping means you see and test a working system early, and continuous delivery means the product keeps improving after launch.
Which technologies do you use?
A modern, open, cloud-native stack — Docker and Kubernetes at the core, with application frameworks chosen for the problem (we have delivered in languages and platforms ranging from Rust to .NET, Node.js and Angular). You are never locked into a proprietary platform.
Do you work with the public sector?
Yes. We deliver well-architected software for central government agencies as well as private sector businesses, and we are experienced in the regulatory controls that public sector environments require.
What is included in your Kubernetes hosting?
Secure servers compliant with Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks, fine-tuned to your workload and budget, multi-cloud options to avoid vendor lock-in, and a team that supports your software on the same stack it was built with.
