Services
The five areas below are useful starting points, not separate departments. An engagement often crosses more than one. Start with the area closest to the problem, or describe the problem in an enquiry and we will work out what it involves.
Book a free discovery callIntegration
Integrations between the business systems an organisation already runs, built so information and processes move reliably, failures are visible and someone is responsible for the result.
About IntegrationAPI Development
Reliable, documented APIs for organisations whose systems need to exchange data or trigger each other through a stable interface, whether that means building a new one or repairing an existing one.
Automation
Automation of repeatable business and technical processes where the rules can be written down, with exceptions and human review points designed in from the start.
Robotic Process Automation
Automation that works through an application's own screens, the way a person would, for systems that have no suitable API or other direct integration. Used when a supported integration is unavailable or impractical, and built with monitoring and clear points for people to step in.
AI
Practical AI systems for organisations where a language or document model is a useful part of a wider software, data or workflow environment, with the access controls, validation and monitoring around it.
About AIAI Integration
AI capabilities connected to the software, data and workflows an organisation already uses, for jobs such as extraction, classification, summarisation, search and drafting, with validation and human review built in.
Private AI
Bespoke AI systems for organisations that need more control over data handling, model deployment, access and logging than a default consumer AI service offers.
AI Remediation and Rescue
Recovery of AI-built or AI-maintained software that has become hard to understand, maintain or safely change because it was developed without enough engineering ownership, restoring the documentation, tests and understanding capable engineers need to run it.
Software Development
Custom software for organisations whose process is not adequately supported by the products available, and staged modernisation of existing systems that are still worth keeping.
About Software DevelopmentWeb Applications
Purpose-built browser applications for customers and staff who need to complete a process online, connected to the systems that hold the records.
Internal Systems
Purpose-built internal software for operational processes that have outgrown spreadsheets, local databases or disconnected tools, with clear data ownership and permissions.
Modernisation
Assessment and staged improvement of ageing software: keep what still works, fix what creates risk, and replace components only where the evidence supports it.
Hosting & Infrastructure
Hosting and infrastructure for business applications, designed and operated around the reliability, security and recovery needs of the software that runs on it.
About Hosting & InfrastructureCloud
Cloud environments for business applications, designed as simply as the requirements allow, with named access, backups, monitoring and a repeatable deployment process.
Architecture
Practical architecture for software and systems: boundaries, data ownership, interfaces, identity and infrastructure agreed in enough detail to guide implementation.
Managed Hosting
Ongoing operation of application hosting environments, including monitoring, updates, backups and incident response, with coverage hours and responsibilities agreed in writing.
Technology Advisory
Independent advice on a defined technology problem or decision, delivered as a written recommendation by people who also design and implement systems, and useful whether or not Ryoss builds anything.
About Technology AdvisoryStrategic Consulting
A focused engagement for one significant technology decision: the options compared, a written recommendation and the reasoning behind it.
Fractional CTO
Senior technology leadership embedded in an organisation part-time, with continuing responsibility for technical direction and the context to make decisions that fit the business.
Retained Advisory
Continuing access to experienced technology advice for organisations whose own people own the technology agenda, from people who already know the environment.
Technology Reviews
A bounded review of a system, project, proposal or risk, delivered as written findings with a clear statement of what was and was not inspected.
