Working with factor10 is about more than just getting help with software development. It’s about building the conditions for better software delivery: better flow, better decisions, better architecture, and better ways of working. We usually work with organisations that already know the value of software, but feel that something is holding them back. Delivery is slower than it should be. Quality is harder to maintain than it ought to be. Teams are busy, but progress feels uneven. Often, there’s a mix of technical, organisational, and product-related factors making things harder than they need to be.
We often think of software work a bit like gardening: it benefits from being tended to little and often, rather than in rare, big efforts. You invest a certain pace and level of attention, and our role is to help make the most of that pace, maximising the value, learning, and improvement that can come from it.
We focus on helping you deliver better software, faster
At factor10, we believe speed and quality are not opposites. In fact, they depend on each other. When software is designed well, kept simple, and tested properly, it becomes easier to change. When work flows smoothly and teams get frequent feedback, it becomes easier to make good decisions. And when the software organisation has the right technical and collaborative foundations, delivery can become both faster and more reliable.
What you can expect from us
When you work with factor10, you can expect people who are hands-on, curious, and respectful of your reality. We don’t arrive with a one-size-fits-all framework or a deck of slides full of abstract recommendations. We want to understand your context first: your product, your teams, your constraints, and your goals. Then we help you move forward. You can expect us to:
- ask thoughtful questions before jumping to conclusions
- be honest about what we see
- focus on practical improvements
- work closely and hands-on with your teams
- focus on delivering business-value
- work toward measurable progress, not just felt improvement
We’re often brought in when there’s a real need to improve delivery performance, reduce friction, modernise architecture, or strengthen a team’s ability to build high-quality software. In all those cases, we try to make things clearer, simpler, and more effective.
What kind of organisations we work best with
We tend to work best with organisations that care about software as a strategic capability and want to improve how it is built and delivered. That can include companies that:
- need to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality
- are struggling with technical complexity or legacy architecture
- want to improve team performance and collaboration
- need to modernise their development practices
- are dealing with a difficult bottleneck across technology, process, and organisation
- want to build a stronger engineering culture
Let's talk
Our ambition is simple: to help your software organisation deliver outstanding software faster. That means software that is easier to evolve. Teams that are more effective. Processes that support rather than slow down delivery. Progress that can not only be felt, but measured. And an organisation that can keep improving over time. If that sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, we’d be happy to talk.
