Integrations
Each system the software connects to adds mapping, testing and go-live work, more so when it writes data back.
Software Development
Software development for startups and enterprises
You have a product to build and not enough engineers to build it, or a roadmap your current team cannot reach. Agnotic Technologies builds custom software for founders and engineering leaders: web, mobile, backend, AI and integrations, as a fixed-scope first release with weekly demos.

What is software development as a service?
Software development as a service means a company such as Agnotic Technologies designs, builds and supports your custom software for you: web and mobile apps, backend systems, AI features and integrations with the systems you already run. The engagement starts with a scoping call and a fixed-scope first release, then continues with weekly demos as the product grows.
You own the code, infrastructure and documentation throughout. Agnotic is a software development services company, not a product you subscribe to.
This page is the starting point. The cards below route you to the specific service you need, and the table shows which engagement model fits your team.
Services
Which software development service do you need?
Each card opens the detailed service page. Most projects combine two or three of these.
Web development
Marketing sites and web platforms built on modern frameworks, fast and accessible.
Mobile app development
iOS and Android apps, native or cross-platform, with the backend they need.
Backend development
APIs, data models, background jobs and the services that power your product.
AI development
AI features, agents and models put into production with monitoring and human review.
Data engineering
Pipelines, warehouses and reporting that turn operational data into usable datasets.
Product engineering
A product team that owns discovery, delivery and quality for a whole product.
MVP development
A fixed-scope first release for founders who need to test a product with real users.
Custom healthcare software development
HIPAA-ready healthcare products with EHR integration through HL7 FHIR.
Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership for architecture, hiring and vendor decisions, part time.
Decision table
Which engagement model fits your team?
Four ways to work with Agnotic. Pick by what you already have in house, not by project size.
| Engagement model | Choose it when | What Agnotic provides | What you keep in house |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-scope first release | You have a product idea or a defined feature and need it built and launched | Scoping, design, build, testing and launch of an agreed scope, with weekly demos | Product decisions and user access; the code and accounts are yours |
| Dedicated product team | You need a product built and improved over many releases without hiring a full team | A team with a lead engineer, engineers, design and QA that owns delivery | A product owner who sets priorities and accepts releases |
| Staff extension | Your engineering team exists but needs capacity or a missing skill | Engineers who join your sprints, tools and code review under your lead | Technical leadership, architecture and the delivery process |
| Fractional leadership | You need senior technical decisions before you have a full-time CTO | A fractional CTO for architecture, hiring, vendor and compliance decisions | The engineering team, in house or through Agnotic |
Many engagements move between rows: a fixed-scope first release often becomes a dedicated team after launch. The fractional CTO page covers the leadership option in detail.
How we work
How does a software development engagement work?
The same four steps run on every project, whichever engagement model you pick.
1.
Scoping call
A 15-minute call to understand the product, the users and the systems it must connect to. If it is a fit, we schedule a short discovery.
Scope2.
Fixed-scope first release
We agree the users, workflows and integrations the first release covers, and what waits for later, before any build starts.
Agree3.
Build with weekly demos
You see working software every week. Changes are caught while they are cheap, and the scope stays visible.
Build4.
Scale and support
After launch we support the product, monitor integrations and add features in agreed phases, or hand over to your team with documentation.
SupportSecurity and quality
What security and quality practices are built in?
These are engineering decisions made on every project, not a certification claim. Agnotic claims no certification; we build so your product can pass your customers' security reviews.
- Secure development practices aligned with NIST SP 800-218: threat modelling, dependency scanning and code review before merge
- Access control by role, with multi-factor authentication for every admin and engineering account
- Audit logging of who changed what, in the product and in the delivery pipeline
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with keys managed in your cloud account
- Automated tests and continuous integration on every change, with a release checklist before production
- Accessibility tested against WCAG 2.2 for web and mobile interfaces
- Documentation of architecture decisions, runbooks and controls, handed over with the code
Scope and cost
What drives software development cost?
We do not publish prices. These are the drivers that decide the size of a project; the scoping call turns them into a fixed first release.
Platforms
Web, iOS and Android together cost more than one platform first. Cross-platform frameworks reduce the gap but do not remove it.
Data and compliance
Personal, financial or health data adds access control, logging and agreement work from the first release.
AI features
Model evaluation, prompt and data pipelines, and human review flows add scope beyond a standard feature.
Legacy and migration
Moving data or users from an existing system adds mapping, cleansing and parallel running.
Team shape
A dedicated team costs more per month than a staff extension, and a fixed-scope release is priced once for the agreed scope.
Failure points
Why do software development projects go wrong?
The failure points we see most often, and what we do about each.
Challenge
The scope was never written down, so every demo reopens the plan.
Agnotic approach
We fix the first release in writing before the build starts and track changes against it.
Challenge
Integrations were left until the end and did not work in production.
Agnotic approach
Integrations are built and tested against real sandboxes in the first sprints, not the last.
Challenge
Nobody on the client side could accept a release.
Agnotic approach
Each engagement names a product owner who sees weekly demos and accepts releases.
Challenge
Security was reviewed after launch, when changes were expensive.
Agnotic approach
Threat modelling, access control and logging are part of the first release scope.
Challenge
The vendor left and nobody could run the system.
Agnotic approach
You own the repositories and cloud accounts from day one, and documentation is handed over with the code.

Who we work with
Teams we build software for
The first release looks different for each, but the engagement steps are the same.
Startup founders
A fixed-scope first release to test with real users, then a team that grows with the product.
Enterprise engineering leaders
Capacity for a roadmap item or a new product line without a long hiring cycle.
Healthcare and regulated teams
Products that hold sensitive data and must pass security reviews before a pilot.
Product companies with legacy systems
Modernization and new features alongside a system that cannot stop running.
Facts and sources
Facts and sources we design around
Short facts from standards bodies that shape how we build software, each linked to its primary source.
NIST SP 800-218, the Secure Software Development Framework, groups secure development practices into four areas: prepare the organization, protect the software, produce well-secured software and respond to vulnerabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the scope: the number of integrations, the platforms and the data the product holds. We agree a fixed first release on the scoping call and plan the schedule from that scope, rather than quoting a duration before we know the drivers.
Yes. Integrations with your existing systems, such as CRMs, ERPs, payment providers, EHRs or internal APIs, are scoped as part of the first release and built against real sandboxes early, because they are the most common cause of late surprises.
Yes. A fixed-scope first release is our default starting point. We agree the users, workflows and integrations it covers in writing, and anything else waits for a later phase.
Engineers use AI coding tools for drafts, tests and reviews, and every change still goes through human code review, automated tests and the same release checklist. AI never merges or deploys on its own.
Software development builds what is specified. Product engineering adds discovery, prioritization and measurement so the team also decides what to build next. Agnotic offers both; the product engineering page explains the fuller model.
Yes. Founders usually start with a fixed-scope first release and a small team. Enterprise engineering leaders usually add a dedicated team or a staff extension to an existing organization, with their own leads and tooling.
We pick the stack for the product, not the other way round: TypeScript with React or Next.js on the web, Swift, Kotlin, React Native or Flutter on mobile, Node.js, Python or .NET on the backend, and AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud for hosting.
You keep the code, the infrastructure accounts and the documentation. We hand over architecture decisions, runbooks and tests so your team can maintain and extend the product without depending on us.
