How we work

From first contact to go-live.

A structured four-phase path. Each step has concrete deliverables, no endless discovery without output.

01

Discovery

Technical analysis, regulatory constraints, stakeholder mapping. Output: gap assessment + scoping proposal.

2-4 weeks
02

Design

Target architecture, cost model, identified risks. Output: HLD/LLD signed off by the client.

3-6 weeks
03

Implementation

Sprint-based build, code in client repos, continuous security testing. Output: production environment.

3-12 months
04

Operate

Run 24/7 with contractual SLAs, or full handover to your internal team with runbooks.

Built differently

Three commitments we put in writing.

Promises you'll find in our Statement of Work, not just on this page.

01

Code-first delivery

Every line of infrastructure, every config file, every runbook lives in your repository. Not on our laptops, not in a private wiki we own.

  • Your repos, your CI, your code review process
  • Architectural decision records as plain markdown
  • Reproducible from a clean machine in under an hour
02

Security baked in, not bolted on

Threat modeling at design time. Encryption at rest and in transit, by default. Audit logs that pass a regulator review without a panic week.

  • OWASP review and dependency scanning in every CI run
  • Secrets in your vault, never in env files
  • Immutable infrastructure, signed builds, SBOM on demand
03

Exit on demand

The day you decide to bring it in-house or change partner, we hand over in 2-4 weeks. Documented. Tested. Without drama.

  • Knowledge transfer sessions recorded and indexed
  • Runbooks proven by your team, not by us
  • Access transitions managed without service interruption

Where we operate

European by design.

Italy headquarters, EU operations.

We deploy and run infrastructure across the European Union, with personnel that speaks your regulator's language and works inside your timezone.

Every project: EU data residency, EU billing, EU support. No surprises in the contract, no exceptions in the SLAs.

FAQ

What enterprise teams ask before signing

Concrete answers to the most common objections from enterprise IT teams.

How do you handle confidentiality in regulated environments?
All projects start with an NDA. For finance, defence and public sector we use vetted personnel (NOS clearance where required), dedicated workstations, network segregation, and audit logs. We can operate on-premise or in client-tenant-isolated environments. No sensitive data leaves the authorized perimeter.
How long does a typical project take? What commitment do you need from our team?
Initial assessment: 2-4 weeks. VDI/cloud implementations range from 3 to 12 months depending on scale. We only need 1 business sponsor, 1 client architect as technical counterpart, and read access to relevant systems. We handle the rest.
Do you work only with Italian clients or also across the EU?
Headquartered in Italy, operating across the European Union. We have multilingual teams (IT/EN/DE) for cross-border projects. EU data residency guaranteed on every project. No client data leaves the EU without explicit written request.
How does your pricing compare to the big SIs (Accenture, Deloitte, IBM)?
Typically 30-50% lower, because we don't carry global partner overhead and only bill people actually on the project. Trade-off: we are smaller. For programs needing hundreds of FTEs we are not the right partner. For projects in the 1-30 FTE range we are very competitive.
What happens if the project fails or we want to switch partners?
All documentation, code and configurations remain client-owned: versioned in client repos, not ours. No vendor lock-in. If you decide to change partners, in 2-4 weeks we deliver a full handover with runbooks, architectural decision records and access transitions.
Do you hold certifications? We need them for NIS2/DORA compliance.
We are finalizing ISO 27001 (audit Q3). For specific projects we already operate under SOC 2 Type II frameworks via certified partners. For DORA and NIS2 we provide gap assessment, ICT third-party register, and support during regulator audits.
Why VDI Agent? Doesn't it violate the VDI security model?
No: VDI Agent runs on the consultant's local machine, not inside the VDI. It captures a screenshot, sends it to an LLM, and types the response as if the user typed it. Zero install in the virtual desktop, zero footprint on the perimeter. It is equivalent to a consultant using their own brain outside the VDI, just faster.
