Our proven framework for success

Creating software isn’t all about coding. Implementing AI doesn’t mean licensing copilot or buying a server with a GPU. Lift-and-shift is not cloud transformation. 

All these processes start by considering the value you want to build for your organisation and customers. Establishing a strategy to achieve your goals. Then designing the right processes and software products to deliver them.

At CID, we understand the intricacies of developing successful digital products and solutions. Over more than two decades of practice, we have developed a framework to create solutions that enables business cases, strategic decisions and tactical executions.

<A better way to software>

If you’re here considering a digital solution to address a specific business challenge, then it is highly likely you face some or all of the following challenges:

  • Identifying the processes that would benefit most from digitisation, AI and cloud-native software.
  • Assessing technology requirements and key building blocks for implementation.
  • Building solutions on time and budget.
  • Establishing a continuous software product lifecycle.
  • Ensuring secure and efficient operations, from your data centres and the edge, to the public and private cloud.

Our Smart Accelerators framework empowers you to overcome these challenges and ensures that you reap the full benefits of state-of-the-art technology. We do this by following several key steps:

  1. Develop a deep understanding of your business, its goals and processes
  2. Create a winning strategy and tailored execution framework
  3. Design the right software, middleware, hardware, and cloud solutions
  4. Establish a continuous development and improvement process, and
  5. Set up secure and efficient operations.

We leverage cutting-edge technology with aligned teams, processes, software, and hardware. We support our clients throughout their transformation journey, across five key stages.

We call this a better way to software. And it comes to life with our Smart Accelerators framework.

Our five Smart Accelerators

We help you understand the art of the possible. Together, we build a picture of how your business could operate today and elaborate on technology best practices. We focus on your unique situation, but encourage you to look beyond it to learn and innovate.

How do you get to where you want to be? First, we articulate your current situation and objectives. Then, we ideate, and find and assess strategies for achieving those goals. Whether for single products and services or holistically, we develop hands-on guidance for how to succeed with digital, AI and cloud transformation.

We establish a framework that provides a solid foundation for digital, AI, and cloud transformation journeys. From critical objectives, success criteria and organisational and technical building blocks, to teams, finance, compliance and governance, we enable you to operate within a proven, reliable, no-surprises setup.

Aligned with your strategy, we design the software, data, AI, hardware and cloud elements required for execution. We don’t just stop at listing the necessary capabilities—we future-proof and check their feasibility with prototypes whenever possible.

We turn into execution, developing and deploying systems and software products in close collaboration with your in-house experts. We commit to supporting you with a long-term, continuous product lifecycle. We leverage our software and technology expertise to engineer and run cloud-native, secure, bespoke software powered by modern data stacks and AI.
