Custom applications that exceed your requirements, deliver business continuity, are 100% legacy-free, deliver value fast

Technology that solves your business problems

We don’t write code; we build a model of your application. Our technology-neutral development platform turns that model into working software, which means faster delivery, easier changes as your business evolves, and an application that’s protected for the future.

Most applications age for two reasons.  Business requirements change, as new processes, regulations and ways of working emerge.  And technology changes, from browsers, operating systems and databases to new expectations like single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and AI integration.  For traditionally coded software, either can mean costly rework or a complete rewrite.

Because your application is defined by a model rather than hand-written code, it handles both.  When your business changes, we update the model, which is far quicker than rewriting code.  When technology changes, our platform takes care of it: we build each new capability once, at platform level, and switching it on for your application is a matter of configuration

The proof is in our customers’ systems.  Thames Water runs applications we built over 20 years ago that remain fully up to date and they’ve now added single sign-on and multi-factor authentication without a line of code being rewritten.  Your application won’t become obsolete, and it will never become legacy software.

What our customers say

Why choose datb?

What makes datb different?

Most custom software development companies will use the same open-source programming languages and develop using the same methodologies.  This makes differentiation very difficult.

datb are different; we use our own development platform to prototype your ideas, whilst working alongside you to ensure that the application works exactly how you expect it to.  This is usually completed in just a few days which means that you get an idea on exactly how it will work, very quickly.

This means that you will get value from your new application many times faster than any alternative solution. 

Who is using it?

We have provided custom solutions for may different industries, from local/central government, utility companies (electricity/water distribution etc), rail operators, construction companies, education providers to events management - our highly flexible development platform can be used to create almost any application that you might need.

Two approaches, same outcome

All of our applications are built using our development & deployment platform called kinodb which significantly improves time to value as our developers do not need to write code. 

Accordingly, due to this simplified approach, some of our customers have adopted our platform within their own developemnt teams and they build their applications themselves.

Either approach will deliver an integrated, legacy-free application to your business users, fast.

Like many of our client projects, the asset register for HS2 started off as a proof-of-concept exercise.  After two weeks they had a system that they could configure to define their asset type hierarchy and store assets of the defined types.

St. Helens Council has adopted the local government platform within their internal IT development team, with a view to replacing their Lotus Notes applications.  After completing their training, they are now building their own applications.

See for yourself

Download our brochure to see how we can deliver an application in a week, with a proof of concept (PoC) project. 

Following the PoC, should you then choose to implement the product, the application built during the PoC often becomes part of the first iteration of your future system, so none of the effort is wasted.
