Organizations must first ensure they have the right people and technical skills to effectively manage these projects. Without the necessary digital maturity and experience, teams may struggle to build applications that truly meet business needs.

Your trusted partner for agile, high-quality application development
Custom software, tailored to an organization’s specific needs, plays a crucial role in providing a competitive edge, offering distinctive and innovative features that set businesses apart from their competitors.
Custom solutions can also evolve alongside business growth while enhancing security and ensuring compliance. Meticulous planning, programming expertise, and skilful implementation as part of an integrated approach are essential to ensure applications remain adaptable and effective over time.
Challenges
/1.%20Visuals/Website/Icons/Icon_Multiple_Users_68x60px.png)
IT budgets are often under pressure, and misaligned software: can lead to frequent cost overruns. At the same time, many organizations dedicate significant resources to maintaining aging software, limiting their ability to invest in new development. To maximize value, the focus should be on delivering a solution that aligns with business objectives while staying within scope and budget.

Keeping up with evolving regulatory requirements and security threats adds an extra layer of complexity. Applications must be designed with robust security, seamless integration, and rapid deployment in mind. At the same time, they should remain adaptable, allowing businesses to quickly integrate new requirements as they evolve. Businesses increasingly expect software to not only meet immediate needs but also leverage innovative technologies like AI to enhance efficiency and maintain a competitive edge.

Finally, a solid architecture is essential. It must not only support legacy systems but also be compliant, scalable and capable of evolving alongside the organization in future. Preventing quality issues from the start is crucial to the success of any application development project.

Cegeka Application Development Services
We guide clients from strategy to execution with a structured, agile approach.
01
Foundation phase: setting the right course
We start with a structured discovery phase to align your business needs with the right development strategy. This includes:
- identifying business drivers
- defining project scope/requirements
- establishing budget and timeline
- setting priorities based on value
- conducting risk assessment
This phase ensures clarity and prevents major roadblocks later in the project.
02
Agile development & iterative releases
Our iterative approach ensures incremental delivery with continuous validation. Automated testing as a core part of ensuring high-quality, reliable software. Key components of our development strategy include:
- Accelerators: We set up industrialized environments quickly so we can start working on functional implementation from day one
- Feature releases & two-week sprints
- Delivery of an incremental functional product at the end of each sprint
- Continuous feedback loops: Adjust priorities based on evolving insights
- Walking Skeleton methodology: Address critical risks early
A risk-first approach
We proactively identify and mitigate risks using our unique risk-first methodologies to ensure successful delivery. Project burndown charts help monitor progress and offer realistic forecasts.

AMS is the final stage of our approach, providing integrated support, monitoring, and maintenance to ensure applications remain secure, reliable, and up to date. A focus on risk management, security, and compliance helps maintain stability and adaptability as business needs evolve.
Low-code vs. high-code: The right solution for your needs
Choosing between low-code and high-code development depends on the complexity of the project and its business requirements. Low-code is well-suited for simpler applications with minimal business logic, such as applications that replace overly complex Excel sheets. In contrast, high-code is necessary for more complex projects that require extensive business logic and customization. Cegeka helps determine the most appropriate approach, ensuring that each solution aligns with both immediate needs and long-term goals.
DevSecOps integration: Secure and scalable development
DevSecOps methodologies are integrated into custom development to ensure security and scalability throughout the process. By using a centralized platform, Cegeka streamlines security measures while maintaining flexibility. Pre-built DevSecOps frameworks and industrialized accelerators provide a cost-efficient solution, allowing clients to avoid the expense of building these capabilities from scratch. Security is embedded at every stage of development, following a proactive risk mitigation strategy that minimizes vulnerabilities and ensures compliance from the ground up.
