Enterprise-grade engineering
Architecture review, code review, automated testing and documented decisions on every engagement, whatever its size.
About Acmez
Why Choose Acmez
Most suppliers can build something once. The differences appear in year two: in maintainability, in how honest the reporting was, and in whether the same people are still on the account.
What clients tell us matters
Eight things that make a long engagement work
Security-first approach
Threat modelling, secure defaults and dependency scanning built into delivery rather than performed as a late audit.
Scalable architecture
Decisions about data, tenancy and service boundaries taken deliberately at the point when they are still inexpensive to make.
Transparent processes
Shared boards, weekly written status, honest risk reporting and direct access to the engineers doing the work.
Experienced professionals
Named engineers you interview and approve, with continuity maintained across the life of the engagement.
Flexible engagement
Fixed scope, dedicated teams, offshore development centres, staff augmentation or managed services: matched to the work.
Continuous support
Defined service levels with 24/7 cover available for business-critical systems.
Long-term partnership mindset
Documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer maintained throughout, so you are never locked in.
Where we are not the right fit
We would rather lose the work than mislead you
A supplier who never declines anything is not being selective on your behalf. These are the situations where we routinely recommend someone else, or nobody at all.
- When a mature packaged product would fit your process without heavy customisation, buying is the better economics and we will say so.
- When a proposed technology, blockchain being the frequent example, does not suit the problem, we recommend the simpler architecture.
- When the data required for a machine-learning use case does not exist, we say that before a prototype rather than after one.
- When an organisation needs a specialist we are not, we will tell you what to look for rather than stretching to cover it.
- When a programme is being scoped larger than the problem justifies, we will propose the smaller version.
Questions & answers
Questions about working with us
Cannot find what you need? Our team responds to technical and commercial questions within one business day.
Ask a questionTeam composition is agreed at the start and you are informed in advance of any proposed change. Where a team member leaves, we provide a replacement at our cost for the overlap period with a documented handover. Continuity is one of the things we are measured on in monthly service review.
Shared boards you can open at any time, weekly written status covering progress, risks and decisions, direct access to the engineers rather than communication only through an account manager, and risk raised when we see it rather than when it becomes unavoidable.
No. We use mainstream technologies, keep code in your repositories, document architecture and maintain runbooks throughout the engagement. Clients who move maintenance in-house or to another supplier are able to do so, and some have.
