Swip Systems invites businesses to contact its team about software development projects, app ideas, technology evaluations, AI development, and ways technology can help address business challenges.

The evaluation can review existing platforms, custom systems, off-the-shelf systems, infrastructure, and underlying system structure. It can help determine whether systems are maintainable, scalable, suitable for future needs, and aligned with industry best practices.

Questions addressed

A due diligence review may examine:

• Whether the system provides what customers need
• Whether system capacity is sufficient for current and future loads
• The age of the system
• The platforms supporting the system
• Whether servers can support current and future loads
• Whether appropriate redundancies are in place
• Whether servers are in a data center, in-house, or in the cloud
• Which operating systems are in use

Eight-step approach

Swip Systems has developed an "8 Step Approach" for evaluating software systems, based on more than 25 years of experience. Its multidisciplinary team brings perspectives from business analysis, architecture, design, development, project management, and systems engineering. The company states that it has worked with more than 180 companies on their software systems.
