Methods is a cloud-first and cloud-native organisation

Leveraging the cloud today is no longer simply rehosting applications, but instead intelligent and thoughtful steps towards engineering cloud-native systems

Modern cloud platforms are complex.

As an Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform partner, we have significant experience in migrating applications, data and infrastructure to the cloud; delivering potentially significant total cost of ownership, resiliency, scalability, and security benefits.

This is a natural extension of our disaggregation, service design, and service management capabilities for a full end-to-end service, designed to expand your operating model to place Cloud-Native engineering at the heart of capability and service development.

We place emphasis… 

…on cloud interoperability and integration ensuring you get cloud transformation right the first time. Our technical architects and engineers help build and connect sustainable cloud-native systems to thrive in the cloud ecosystem. Services include cloud-native software development, container deployment, serverless platforms, landing zones, automation orchestration and configuration management, continuous integration/deployments, custom microservices, and API-based solutions.

We’ll help you…

…enable DevOps and DevSecOps-aligned software and platform engineering capabilities based on continuous integration/delivery principles. We’ll also work with you to coach and transfer knowledge to your in-house teams, so they can take ownership of operating and improving your services.

Our work…

…is based on modern, well-architected framework and ‘Secure Software Development Life Cycle’ principles, delivering secure, high-performing, resilient, well-monitored, and cost-effective platforms for your applications and data.

Cloud Engineering Diagram

Taking an organisation on the path to transformation, with one or more cloud service providers, starts with laying the right foundation in terms of the cloud platform. The cloud platform streamlines the process of adopting cloud services through a well-defined catalogue that meets organisational process, compliance, and operational needs.

How can we help?

Methods has an exceptional track record in software and cloud engineering, having delivered the most high-profile platform services in use by citizens today; working with over 300 clients. We bring industry recognised best practises in scaled agile and engineering methodologies whilst sharing our knowledge at every step of our projects and leaving a legacy of secure, well-architected, commented and documented solutions.

Agile development

Our team delivers value quickly, so we don’t subject our clients to months of analysis and requirement gathering.

We use agile development methodologies to produce something concrete quickly, get user feedback and iterate based on that feedback until we have a product that meets user needs. This incremental and rapid cycle approach to platform development and migration is now accepted as the way forward in both the private and public sector.

Consultant-developers

We bring yet more speed and agility by providing you with a compact team of expert full-stack agile ‘Consultant Engineers.’ They engage with stakeholders directly and have the hands-on agile development experience needed to deliver success. We know that this approach helps establish efficient lines of communication and shared goals. We’ll always speak your language – whether that’s technical or not.

Quality assurance

By embedding quality assurance and testing from day one, we ensure any faults that could hinder the product down the line can be caught early. Our development process includes rigorous requirements discovery, code reviews, testing, and release management – catching issues before they occur. This stringent testing process ultimately saves our clients’ time and money, resulting in better products.

Operating as ‘one team’

To deliver value faster, we become part of your development team.

We build relationships with your team and get involved in solving problems. We like to work in partnership with our clients. That’s the Methods difference.
