Outsourcing

Silver Curve

Silver Curve is able to assist manufacturers to develop their next product, or the next version of their existing product. We are experts in software development for AV appliances, servers, players and integration.

Our staff have a long history of product development in the broadcast, AV, and signage industries and are able to help you at the specification, architecture and development stages. We can assist in the entire process or just where you have a lack of resource.

Our key value is that we understand the needs of end users, integrators, installers and content creation agencies. We won't just develop to your specification, we'll point out along the way where it could be improved, or where we feel it might not fit the user's needs. If we can help you find a way to develop a better product for the same cost, we will. This differs from a standard software development house which would develop exactly what you'd asked for even if they realised it might not work for your users.

We don't want to own intellectual property - we want to help you develop it, or develop it for you to own. We don't have a distribution chain, or salespeople, and we don't want to compete with you in that way.

We like the variety that developing products in different areas of the industry gives us. We like the fact that we get a good overview of all parts of the AV industry, so we can take in the 10,000 foot view as well as the microscopic one.

We use an Agile process to develop for you, and we give our customers full visibility of the project as we go along. You'll see the to-do list, what we're working on today, our build status, and our bug list. You'll see how fast we fix bugs, and how many tests are being run every day. You'll see our timesheets in real time so you can control your budget estimates. You can ask us to speed up or slow down by changing the resources available to the project. Many of our customers show our real time wallboard on a screen in their office - this updates every 15 minutes to show progress. We can't hide, and this keeps everyone honest!

Contact Bryan Crotaz today to discuss how we might be able to help you with your current project. We're looking forward to working with you.
