JFDI Phoenix Ltd - Microsoft Bespoke and Custom Software Development

Bespoke Software and Agile Methods

At JFDI Phoenix, our consultants have a proven track record of excellence in delivering line of business (LOB) applications, departmental and enterprise systems, web applications and e-commerce solutions. Our software development experience spans three decades on the Microsoft platform and beyond.

What makes JFDI Phoenix different?

Our consultants all come from a background of IT heavy lifting – using technology to do the hard work. More than two decades ago, we abandoned the notion of writing systems one screen at a time. In the early 90’s we devised business systems that ran from metadata.

We turned bespoke software development from a repetitive task, fraught with potential opportunities for failure, into self-describing systems with predictable, declarative outcomes. We developed our own engines for forms rendering, workflow, content management and service orientation in an era where these tools were not commonplace. Savings in effort and reductions of risk we passed on to our clients. Our day rates were high, but our timescales were short and our predictability was valuable.

Nowadays, these tools are far more widely available, even mainstream. What remains a constant for JFDI Phoenix is being ahead of the curve. Knowing how these components work inside the black box means we are able to operate at an intuitive level. We replace our intimate knowledge of our own products with intuitive understanding of products written by companies with a much higher research and development budget than us:

• Microsoft .NET Framework
• Microsoft InfoPath and Forms Server
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Windows SharePoint Services
• Microsoft Excel Services
• Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation
• Microsoft BizTalk Server
