Our SDLC projects

EHS Project

SDLC management

The Zartis team is involved in the Software Development Life Cycle of the client’s core product, performing tasks such as planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance of this platform.

Fintech Project

SDLC automation

Worked on automating the provisioning of the Fintech client’s main product, automating the e-procurement process, as well as the quality assurance processes to minimise th need for interviention and achieve scalability.

SAAS Project

DevOps and CI/CD set up

Designing CI/CD pipelines for different business intelligence services of a SaaS client. We scripted the IaaC and now manage all of their CI/CD pipelines, containerising every service taking a 12-factor approach for microservices.

What our clients think

The Zartis AI workshop was exactly what we needed. It helped us understand the current landscape and provided a clear framework to inform our production scale agentic AI strategy. A practical and well-structured session that cuts through the hype. Highly recommended, if you’re serious about using AI effectively.

We started thinking, if we want to accelerate with bigger projects, let's bring in some of the AI expertise in Zartis. We're in a great position in Compliance and Risks because we have a lot of SMEs in our own business. It's a beautiful complementary relationship because we can bring in the high level AI expertise from Zartis to work with our SMEs.

We experienced a period of rapid growth and needed to scale up one of our teams quickly. Zartis was pivotal in enabling us to do this, sourcing a team of high-calibre engineers and taking care of all of the logistics from interviewing to the provision of office space and IT equipment. The engineers and Zartis in general are professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with.

Zartis has been a valuable partner to us in scaling our development. They are easy to work with, flexible, and transparent. They have helped us set up remote engineering teams with the skills we’ve needed (state-of-the-art .NET stack). The Zartis developers have continuously shown strong engineering skills as well as expertise in architecture and good coding practices.

How it works

We support clients across the US, the UK, Europe, and the Middle East in improving their SDLC processes.

Current SDLC assessment

We begin with a comprehensive analysis (AS-IS) of your current engineering practices, tools, and team structure. This includes evaluating your methodologies (such as Agile or DevOps), workflows, and collaboration mechanisms.

Future-state strategy & roadmap

Based on the AS-IS analysis, we work with your teams to design a custom roadmap for improvement. Whether it's introducing new methodologies, refining processes, or fostering a more collaborative engineering culture, we create a strategic plan (TO-BE).

Implementation & continuous improvement

With a clear strategy in hand, we support you in implementing the changes needed to transform your SDLC processes. Our experts provide hands-on guidance to ensure a seamless transition to more efficient workflows, tools, and processes.

FAQs: SDLC optimisation

What type of process improvement services does Zartis offer?

We have designed or optimised processes across companies of all sizes and various industries. We understand the different considerations that go into working with a smaller team vs multiple teams of hundreds of engineers.

Additionally, our software experts have worked across many different industries including fintech, logistics and fulfillment, edtech, medtech, renewable energy, e-commerce, automotive, travel, and media technology. We understand the different demands of different sectors, including those highly regulated, and we design tailored processes to support each client’s specific needs.

What does the usual consulting process look like?

Our consultants arrange a series of in-depth meetings with all relevant stakeholders to understand the challenges you are trying to solve. From there, we start an analysis of AS-IS in order to assess the current processes and TO-BE – an SPI blueprint in incremental steps outlining a plan of how to get to where you want to be. Throughout this process improvement consulting journey, our teams collaborate with your teams through daily and weekly meetings to ensure success and perfect alignment on designated goals.

Which pricing model is the partnership based on?

We work on a time and materials model with daily rates. You only pay for the days the dedicated software engineers work, while we take care of holidays and eventualities such as sick or parental leave.

Which locations is Zartis currently offering services from?

Our software experts are based across EMEA and LATAM. While we have offices in Ireland, Spain, and Poland, we are a remote-first company and most of the Zartis engineers are working remotely from European and North American time zones.

How long does a collaboration usually take?

Depending on your particular needs, it can be short-term for a limited amount of time or longer term and ongoing. Whether you need insights on a specific challenge at hand, or need ongoing support to implement systematic changes – our team will work with you on understanding your goals and requirements, and advising on a timeline suited to your needs.
