Navigating this as a business user or decision maker becomes tricky as you balance the pros and cons of custom software solutions against each provider\u2019s business understanding, technical skillset and inherent cultural and approach compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>Add to that the complexities of your digital transformation goals, cloud technologies, microservices, SaaS, IaC, automation, APIs and every other important buzzword\u2026 and you\u2019re left a little unsure of which company to choose, and why.<\/p>\n<p>For BBD, a software development forerunner who\u2019s been in the business of delivering for over 36 years, we believe it all comes down to one question that you need to ask yourself before any other:<\/p>\n<p><em>Do we want a software partner who works with us to identify, define and deliver the business value we need? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve answered yes, then BBD may be the right choice in a software development partner for your business.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why BBD? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Because we have deep business domain knowledge across a broad spectrum of industries<\/li>\n<li>Our technical skills are unrivalled<\/li>\n<li>We\u2019re flexible and agnostic<\/li>\n<li>We take pride in delivering solutions that fill gaps, unite exiting systems and solve problems with a tailored approach<\/li>\n<li>And because we\u2019re brave and bold and dedicated to delighting you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Depth of business domain knowledge <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>That old saying about being a jack of all trades but master of none doesn\u2019t apply when you\u2019ve been actively involved in developing innovative digital solutions into various sectors for as long as we have. Because of this, we\u2019ve built a vast library of understanding for each business domain. Our overarching agile approach and emphasis on knowledge sharing within the company enables us to effectively use this information while adding to it as each sector advances.<\/p>\n<p>The benefit for our clients is that we approach each task with an acknowledgement of the industry\u2019s past and an understanding of how to use technology to move it forward. Paired with our depth of knowledge, this gives us the ability to help our clients stand out while they satisfy their customers and achieve transformation goals.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Unrivalled technical skills <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>BBD proudly employs and develops the best people who pass challenging technical assessments before joining our teams. This gives us a solid foundation of skills across the business which is then translated into each project we tackle. We also have a culture of supported continuous learning where our people own their careers and consistently work towards new certifications and qualifications, all while playing with tech.<\/p>\n<p>With the tech realm permanently in a state of growth and adaption, the only way truly passionate people can stay at the top of their game is to keep their willingness to try different things and learn new skills. BBDers do this \u2013 if we\u2019re not 100% familiar with the rare and specific technology used in your organisation, we will upskill in it so that we can get the best out of your existing landscape.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Flexible and agnostic <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Imagine that you want to add a new room to your house and have a picture in mind of how you\u2019d like it to look and feel. You hire the best architect but they simply will not buy into your vision. It\u2019s their way or the highway and you don\u2019t speak \u201carchitecture\u201d, so you find yourself unable to communicate effectively.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not what it\u2019s like partnering with BBD. As a tech-agnostic company we have no pre-formed ideas about what the best option is for you. Rather, we take each client organisation and adapt our approach to what will work best for their existing technology landscape and digital goals.<\/p>\n<p>We assess each option and devise a plan to deliver this on time and on budget. We pull the right team together from BBDers across South Africa, India, the UK and Netherlands, and then work together in integrated teams to ensure that at the end of the project, your \u201ctech house\u201d makes sense, gives you the functionality you need and meets your strategic goals.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Delivering systems that add true value to your business and customers <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We could wax lyrical on the successful projects BBD has delivered. We could bore you to death with the amount of technical knowledge sitting in our library. We could wow you with our innovative frameworks like our ones for business automation and Basel calculations. But ultimately, you don\u2019t need a spiel, you need confidence that the software partner you choose will deliver.<\/p>\n<p>This is our commitment to every client.<\/p>\n<p>With tenacity and grit rooted in everything we do, BBD strives to utilise our broad skill foundation, critical thinking, risk aversion and passionate development, analysis and testing teams to produce software that works. Whether it be an entire custom-built enterprise system, the missing link that pulls your disparate legacy systems together or that one line of code that helps you sleep better at night knowing your environment is secure and bug free.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Brave, bold, innovative digital solutions <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bottom line\u2026 We\u2019re an experienced software development company with the flexibility to think like a nimble start-up and deliver original, bold solutions. It\u2019s a special kind of passion and one we\u2019re proud to embody.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in partnering with BBD as your software development partner and would like to learn more about the various digital solutions we have delivered, read our case studies <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bbdsoftware.com\/case-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that the technology landscape is highly complex and packed with individual microcosms of understanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1019,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1015"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1023,"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015\/revisions\/1023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/companies.mybroadband.co.za\/bbd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
