For more details, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team.
Comprehensive technology assessments help organizations make informed decisions by evaluating solutions for their technical viability, cost-effectiveness, security, and compliance. Our team thoroughly analyzes the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), identifying areas for process optimization and ensuring alignment with business goals and industry best practices. We also assess your organization’s resource capabilities, team structure, and skill sets, recommending strategies to enhance productivity and foster growth. Our consultants prioritize usability and accessibility, ensuring software solutions are user-friendly, intuitive, and compliant with established guidelines such as WCAG. By focusing on scalability and future-proofing, we help your organization adopt technologies that will support your evolving needs and strategic objectives.
At Ambient, we understand that implementing, scaling, or refining a testing strategy across the software development lifecycle requires a comprehensive and customized approach. Our services cover every critical area, from assessments and planning to execution and reporting, ensuring that best practices are integrated seamlessly. We evaluate current testing strategies, identify gaps, and provide recommendations for optimal tools, technologies, and methodologies, ensuring alignment with both current and future business goals. Our expertise spans manual, automated, and exploratory testing, security, and CI/CD integration, allowing us to support robust testing processes and ensure high-quality deliverables. Furthermore, Ambient prioritizes transparency through detailed plans, documentation, and reporting, using metrics and KPIs to drive continuous improvement and maintain alignment with quality level agreements (QLA) for guaranteed results.
Supporting production involves implementing robust monitoring, alerting, and logging systems to proactively identify and resolve issues. Establishing a structured issue tracking system, incident response plan, and security protocols ensures efficient management and resolution of problems while maintaining high performance and security standards. Continuous optimization based on analytical feedback, user input, and team training fosters ongoing improvement and stability in the production environment.
Maintaining software involves proactive monitoring, regular updates, and performance optimization to ensure reliability and user satisfaction. Strong security measures, compliance checks, and backup protocols minimize risks and downtime during failures. Continuous improvement is driven by user feedback, incident management, and ongoing documentation, ensuring the software evolves with user needs and industry standards.
Modernizing legacy software requires careful planning and alignment with business goals to enhance performance and meet current needs. Start with a thorough system assessment, create a detailed roadmap, and adopt an incremental approach for risk mitigation and flexibility. Prioritize technology updates, secure data migration, and user training to ensure a smooth transition to a scalable and maintainable system that supports future growth.
Building teams that compliment each other both technically and culturally can be time consuming and difficult. The process is disruptive for your current resources and prevents them for working on their priorities. Allow Ambient to build your teams for you. With our customized process and vetting resources technically and culturally, we can ensure that all resources are a fit and can go straight to work without any assistance from your resources. Our involvement saves hundreds of hours interviewing and immeasurable amount of disruption and frustration.
Managing different environments effectively requires practices like Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for consistent setups, CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment, and containerization for uniform application behavior. Continuous deployment involves automating code changes, integrating automated testing, and maintaining security throughout the process. Release management focuses on automating build, test, and deployment while integrating security and ensuring clear communication and rollback strategies. Performance and error monitoring are achieved through real-time tools, centralized logging, and establishing performance baselines, which facilitate continuous improvement. Utilizing IaC with version control and modular design ensures infrastructure deployments are reliable and easily managed, supporting collaboration and security across projects.
