Enterprise App Development

Enterprise App Development Proven at Global Scale

Enterprise applications demand reliability that consumer apps never face. When SWEAT scaled to 50 million downloads across 142 countries, our infrastructure handled millions of concurrent workout streams without failure. When we built medical-grade technology, we met compliance standards that treat bugs as potential patient harm. When Big 4 firms audited our architecture during client due diligence for a $400M exit, our code passed scrutiny designed to find problems.

We're AWS Advanced Tier Partner - one of only two in South Australia - with every engineer AWS certified and accredited. This isn't a badge we bought; it's expertise we earned building apps that process massive data volumes, handle unpredictable traffic spikes, and maintain 99.99% uptime when failure means lost revenue, not just poor reviews.

Enterprise Scale We've Delivered

Most agencies claim "enterprise experience" whilst building apps for small teams. We've built systems serving millions simultaneously. Apps processing real-time health data where inaccuracy risks patient safety. Platforms scrutinised by Big 4 auditors hunting for architectural flaws before billion-dollar investments. Marketplace platforms handling $100M+ in annual transactions (EzLicence). This is enterprise development - not scaled-up consumer apps with "enterprise" branding.

Medical-Grade Technology Experience

We've built medical-grade technology where inaccuracy risks patient harm, not just poor reviews. Medical-grade means rigorous testing, comprehensive error handling, audit trails, data accuracy validation, and compliance with health data standards. This expertise translates to any enterprise app requiring absolute reliability.

Medical-Grade Development Standards:

• Data accuracy validation: Multi-layer validation ensuring health data accuracy (heart rate, calories, medical records)
• Comprehensive error handling: Graceful degradation, never losing user data, clear error states guiding recovery
• Audit trails: Complete logging of all data access and modifications for compliance and debugging
• Health data privacy: Encryption at rest and in transit, secure key management, access controls, data residency compliance
• Extensive testing: Unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, load tests, security tests before production
• Documentation: Architecture documentation, API documentation, runbooks for operations teams
• Monitoring and alerting: Real-time monitoring with automated alerts for anomalies, errors, performance degradation

Medical-grade discipline makes all our enterprise apps more reliable, even when health data isn't involved. The standards apply universally - financial data, customer information, business operations all benefit from medical-grade rigour.

Big 4 Audit-Ready Architecture

When SWEAT exited for $400M, Big 4 accounting firms conducted technical due diligence designed to find architectural flaws that could derail the deal. Our code, infrastructure, and documentation passed scrutiny from auditors hunting for problems. We know what institutional investors and acquirers require because we've been through it.

What Big 4 Auditors Examine:

• Code quality: Clean architecture, consistent patterns, comprehensive test coverage, no technical debt red flags
• Security: Penetration testing reports, vulnerability scanning, secure coding practices, encryption implementation, access controls
• Scalability: Ability to handle 10x growth without architectural rewrite, auto-scaling configured, performance testing documentation
• Documentation: Architecture diagrams, API documentation, deployment processes, disaster recovery procedures, security policies
• Dependencies: Third-party library audit (no abandoned packages, security vulnerabilities addressed, licensing compliance)
• Intellectual property: Clear code ownership, no copy-pasted code from unlicensed sources, proper open-source license compliance
• Operational maturity: Monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response procedures, SLAs, backup and recovery tested
• Team capability: Documentation allowing new developers to onboard, no single points of failure (knowledge concentrated in one person)

We build all enterprise apps to these standards, whether acquisition is planned or not. Big 4 audit-ready means institutional-grade quality that reduces technical risk for your business.
