Industries We Work With

Different industries need different software development practices to address unique development challenges. Below is a sampling of organizations that have trusted us to help them meet the very specific requirements of their industries.

Banking & Financial Services

As technology evolves, financial firms everywhere must make sure to keep up with the pace of change in customer expectations, business practices, and regulations. As in the Technology sector, product differentiation is a must.

             

Energy

In this industry, companies must handle massive amounts of data and more quickly adopt software practices that have been shown to work in other industries. It can be difficult to strike the proper balance of deep domain expertise and sufficient software engineering knowledge.

           

Games & Entertainment

Migrating software practices developed for pure-play software initiatives into content-rich environments where software is not the major player is a concern here. Also, compared to some of the other industries, the development cycles in Games & Entertainment are lengthy, which presents its own challenges.

           

Government, Military & Defense

These organizations can sometimes be slow to change, but they nonetheless must keep up with leading practices. They must also ensure that their software is standards-based, detailed and documented, highly reliable, and adaptable over time.

       

 

Healthcare, Pharma, & Life Sciences

The software in these industries requires high availability, data integrity, and usability to make it easier to diagnose and treat patients. The software must address the special considerations of lab environments, the deep domain expertise of scientists, and the evolving requirements of regulatory environments.

           

Manufacturing

Manufacturing companies must appropriately adapt pure software practices for effective use in combined hardware/software environments. Coordinating effectively with hardware development is a primary concern.

         

 

Technology

Technology companies need to keep up with the state of the art in software practices without getting burned by always being on the bleeding edge. (Getting burned occasionally is OK, just not all the time.) Their software practices must enable them to clearly differentiate their products with unique value.

           

Case Studies

Succeeding with Scrum in an FDA-Regulated Environment

 Case Study

Medical technology company BD Biosciences had just released the first version of a new product, which included hardware and software, and were preparing for subsequent clinical versions. The program faced significant budget and schedule commitments, along with the pressures of FDA regulations.

Transitioning From Waterfall to Scrum

 Case Study

A large US-based pharmaceutical company had just begun a major new program building a system that would improve its ability to govern its product portfolio. While the organization typically used a waterfall approach on software projects, this program required a different approach. We trained and coached what became a 100 person team as they transitioned from waterfall to Scrum.

Rearchitecting a Critical Product Line

 Case Study

FirstLogic needed to rearchitect its key product line. The VP of Product Development knew that the company’s well-worn processes would not be sufficient for this large-scale project. He was also concerned about the company’s project management expertise.

What People Are Saying About Us

“There was a collaborative effort of the teacher and the class. The class was well organized and content was applicable, focused, and reference-able.”
Tiffany Carter-Eldred, Amazon.com

“I particularly like that your instructors are also working consultants. Some classes that I have taken in the past were well organized and had good content, but the instructor couldn’t handle questions outside of the outline very well.”

Donald Miner, State of Oregon
“The launch of our department-wide scrum implementation is going extremely well and I credit the training from Construx as a significant factor.”
Neal Herman, BD
“Great instructor. Good mix of examples, labs, and instruction. Instructor was able to adapt to the flow of the class.”
