SonestackCore Technologies

Everything we do, in four groups: the infrastructure underneath, the data on top of it, the software people use, and the advice and training that tie it together.

Advisory and Training

IT advisory, project management, digital transformation, staff training and research into new technology.

Advisory and Training in detail

  • IT advisory

    Independent assessments of your current systems, technology roadmaps, and technical specifications you can take straight to tender.

  • Project management

    Delivery management for technology projects: vendor coordination, milestone reporting and acceptance testing against the signed scope.

  • Digital transformation

    Moving paper and manual processes onto digital systems in stages, measuring each stage before the next one starts.

  • Training and capacity building

    Courses for your staff in software development, data, cloud and everyday IT, delivered on site or online, with assessments at the end.

  • Research and development

    Prototypes and pilots that test new technology against a real problem in your organisation before you commit a budget to it.

Software Engineering

Custom software, web and mobile applications, intranets and SaaS platforms, designed, built and maintained by one team.

Software Engineering in detail

  • Custom software and web applications

    Portals, case management systems, dashboards and internal tools built around your workflows and approval chains.

  • Mobile applications

    iOS and Android apps for citizens, customers and field staff, published under your organisation's own store accounts.

  • Intranet systems

    Staff portals for documents, announcements, requests and approvals, hosted on your network or in the cloud.

  • Software licensing and maintenance

    Licences for the software we build, with maintenance plans that cover updates, fixes and security patches.

  • SaaS products and digital platforms

    Hosted platforms we build and run for agencies, businesses and individuals, paid for by subscription instead of one large upfront build.

Data and AI

Data engineering, database management, analytics, business intelligence, machine learning and process automation.

Data and AI in detail

  • Data engineering

    Pipelines that collect data from your systems, clean it and load it into one reliable store, on a schedule you can audit.

  • Database design and management

    Schema design, migration, performance tuning, backups and access control for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server and cloud databases.

  • Analytics and business intelligence

    Dashboards and reports that answer the questions your management asks every week, from figures you can trace back to source.

  • AI and machine learning

    Models for document processing, forecasting, classification and search: trained, deployed and monitored, with staff reviewing the decisions that matter.

  • Business process automation

    Automated approvals, data entry, reconciliations and notifications that remove repeated manual steps from your team's day.

Cloud, Infrastructure and Security

Cloud and hosting, managed IT, cybersecurity, systems integration, technical support, and the hardware underneath.

Cloud, Infrastructure and Security in detail

  • Cloud computing and hosting

    Architecture, migration and day to day operation on Google Cloud, AWS, Azure or local data centres, with costs you can see each month.

  • Managed IT services

    Monitoring, patching, backups, user support and incident response, all under a written service level agreement.

  • Cybersecurity

    Security assessments, access control, system hardening, logging and staff awareness training, aligned with current data protection law.

  • Systems integration and migration

    Connecting new software to the systems you already run, moving data out of old platforms, and implementation through to go live.

  • Technical support

    Help desk and on site support for the systems we deliver, with response times agreed in writing.

  • Hardware, networking and licence supply

    Computers, servers, networking equipment and software licences, supplied, installed and maintained as part of a complete solution.

How a project runs

Whichever service you need, the work follows the same four stages.

Not sure which service fits? Describe the problem and we will tell you.

  1. Discover

    1 to 2 weeks

    We meet the people who will use the system, study the current process and agree what a good result looks like.

    You receive: A written scope, timeline and cost.

  2. Design

    2 to 4 weeks

    We design the system and its screens, then walk your staff through them before building. Changes cost least at this stage.

    You receive: Approved designs and a technical plan.

  3. Build and test

    Two week cycles

    We build in short cycles and show working software at the end of each one. Your team tests every release before it moves forward.

    You receive: Tested releases and acceptance sign offs.

  4. Launch and handover

    1 to 2 weeks

    We deploy, train your staff and hand over the source code and documentation. If your contract includes support, we look after the system under an agreed service level.

    You receive: A live system, trained staff and full documentation.
