A deep assessment of maintainability, scalability and testability.
We show how you can improve code qualities such as evolvability,
re-use & determinism.
Already had an audit done by another party? Or do you wonder how to contain your AI-risk? Use our Assessment as a ‘Second Opinion‘ for a deeper architectural check.
Applications that are modular, extensible, scalable and evolvable by design.
What we do
We provide tools and services to generate and evolve enterprise applications that are free from structural degradation over time.
Why is Normalized Systems different?
The NS development approach is based on Normalized Systems Theory, which studies how complex modular structures behave under constant change, and how ripple effects can be eliminated and controlled.
The NS Platform
The NS Platform is a suite of tools and services to generate and evolve enterprise applications that are free from structural degradation over time.
The NS Development Approach
Software engineering theory formalised at the University of Antwerp, applied to the practical development of evolvable and sustainable software, a foundation for systems that stay clean across decades, not quarters.
A stable and predictable software system
A stable and predictable software system provides tangible improvements across the organization.
For your organization
- Seize emerging business opportunities with quick implementation of new functionality
- Lower risk with predictable project cost and lead time
- The evolution of the system is predictable, flexible and manageable
For architects
- Architecture explorations and refactoring reduced to days
- Use templates to establish architectural design patterns and code styles across the organization
For software engineers
- Confident that changes do not create ripple effects
- Focus on the essential part of the applications
What is our engagement approach
The NS development approach is based on Normalized Systems Theory, which studies how complex modular structures behave under constant change, and how ripple effects can be eliminated and controlled.
Exploration Workshop
- Exploration of the Architecture, Application, Integration and Scaling as-is/to-be
- Identify improvement opportunities in each area
Proof of Value
- Select scenarios based on identified opportunities
- Model, integrate and deploy an application
- Assess the value provided to the organization
Create and integrate first application
- Model and deploy a full application, integrated with existing systems and based on selected frameworks
- Knowledge transfer
- Sprint-based project
Trusted in production for over a decade.
For over a decade, NS has provided its customers with integrated deployments that are periodically rejuvenated at no additional cost.
NS’s consistent growth in size and production deployments over the years has demonstrated the benefits of a software development approach that reduces the technical debt and increases the predictability, traceability and transparency of software projects.
10+
Integrated deployments that stay current over the long run, customers receive rejuvenation cycles built into the platform.
0%
A development approach that reduces technical debt and gives teams full visibility into how systems evolve, sprint by sprint, year by year.
100%
NS-generated applications maintain their structural integrity as they grow, adapting to new requirements without accumulating debt.
