Why AINEXIM
Most organisations do not need another vendor. They need one accountable engineering team that designs the software, builds it in the open, runs it securely and hands over the keys whenever you ask.
How we work
From discovery to day-to-day running
Discovery before design, working software every two weeks, honest written reporting and an exit plan from the first day. The same team builds and runs your software.
01Discover
Workshops in person or on Microsoft TeamsWe confirm the real requirement, content, constraints and integration boundaries with your business and ICT teams before committing to a design.
02Design
Accessibility and security in every featureThe design system, accessibility target and security controls are agreed up front, so WCAG 2.1 AA and privacy by design are part of the definition of done.
03Build
Two-week sprints, demos and written reportsWorking software every two weeks. Each sprint ends with a demonstration to your product owner and a written report on progress, risks, decisions and budget.
04Run
Managed service on agreed termsHosting, monitoring, backups, patching and support from the team that built the platform. One accountable provider, no hand-offs.
05Transfer
Exit plan from day oneDocumentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer throughout, with an exit plan agreed at the start. Your content and data stay yours, in open formats.
