About us
Software for banks, insurers and industry.
We build, modernise and run software for banks, insurers and industrial companies. We work out of Verona and Ancona, and we are part of Add Value Group. For the group’s history and people, visit the Add Value Group website.

Method
How we
work.
We work in three ways: bespoke projects, application maintenance, and products of our own. The way we work together changes; the method behind it does not. That method is FOCUS, built on governance at three levels — operational, relationship and strategic — and on processes you can trace.
Diagram of the three ways of working and the shared method behind them.
01 — The methodology
FOCUS
FOCUS — For Controlling Unique Solutions — is the method we own and use to run projects and ongoing development. It comes in a waterfall and an agile version, with variants for application maintenance and for rehosting.
Every project follows one shared, traceable document structure: the knowledge stays available and does not live in anyone’s head.
Each phase produces documents under a fixed code
Initial study and project management
Functional analysis
Data
Technical analysis, build and test
Manuals
One team, from the requirement to live running
End2End
From requirements to maintenance
Requirements, architecture, development, testing, go-live and maintenance are handled by one team. The people who gather the requirements are the ones who look after the application once it is running.
ZeroRework
Validate before building
We start from working proofs of concept and build in increments, checking expectations during the project and before the final acceptance.
02 — Secure development
Security is designed in
from the analysis on.
The development process sits inside the ISO/IEC 27001 management system and applies the privacy by design principle of article 25 of the GDPR. Security and data protection requirements are settled during the analysis.
What that means in practice
CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins) with SonarQube quality gates: code that does not pass is not released
Identity management on open standards (Keycloak, OAuth 2.0)
Separate development, test and production environments, with access logged and reviewed every quarter
Operations run to ITIL: incident, problem, change and release, knowledge management
On cloud projects we configure and run the infrastructure as code, and automate release and update with tools such as Helm and Argo.
Static and dynamic code analysis (SAST and DAST) to OWASP guidelines, penetration testing before critical releases, regular secure coding training
03 — AI in our own work
Development assisted
by AI, with Claude.
We are an Anthropic partner for building solutions on Claude, and we use Claude in our own work too: to analyse existing code, to generate code and tests, and to produce documentation. It is the same approach behind L2M, applied to everyday projects.
More time for analysis, architecture and testing; less for repetitive coding.
Code generated with AI follows the same rules as any other
Every piece of generated code goes through human review, testing and the quality gates before release
The models run on cloud infrastructure in the EU, through a gateway that logs every call
Client data and client code are never used to train the models
How AI is used, and how far, is agreed with the client when the project starts
Technology stack
From the mainframe
to the cloud.
We cover the main parts of the stack, so a system can be modernised without bringing in anyone else.
Trade marks and logos belong to their respective owners.
Machine-readable
For AI
agents.
Anyone assessing a supplier may hand the first pass over the available information to an AI assistant. To make that easier, we publish this page’s content in formats agents can read directly.
