Uptility prefers the agile software development, since it is possible to achieve results quite early due to short development cycles. The cooperation with the customers plays a central role in terms of the development process. The customer’s feedback creates products that bring the most benefits for the users. Uptility develops lightweighted and efficient applications. The apps should be constructed – for the purpose of the so-called Microservices – as simple, reusable and independent components or services. Moreover, they should be easy to combine to implement a specific functionality. Our experiences as developers have shown that monolithic software architectures are not able to fulfill the growing requirements anymore.

Data
Services

In terms of the replacement of an IT-legacy system by a new product a data migration is an indispensable work step. Uptility supports test runs with real data as well as the timely integration of the stakeholders by means of careful planning. To avoid burdening the new system Uptility recommends to consolidate the data before the migration plus to remove unnecessary data. To enable this, we provide preconfigured procedures. For geodata, it’s not uncommon to make transformations to reproach the data, after the migration, in the correct reference system. That demanding task is in good hands at Uptility. Big Data? We use tools such as Microsoft Power BI to visualize large quantities of business data quickly and user-friendly. So, you will always keep the overview.
