A hybrid team meeting at Cuttlesoft showcases their modern development process, with in-office and remote team members collaborating on project planning. The setup demonstrates their technology-agnostic approach, where diverse expertise comes together across Python, Ruby, and JavaScript development for enterprise, healthcare, and government solutions. The whiteboard with project notes visible in the background illustrates their thorough discovery and analysis process, while the collaborative atmosphere reflects their polyglot development philosophy. Team members equipped with MacBooks review technical specifications while maintaining the human connection that defines Cuttlesoft's approach. This image captures the essence of their project journey - combining technical excellence with clear communication, whether working on custom software development, mobile applications, or enterprise systems.

Since the beginning, Cuttlesoft has been a technology agnostic company. This means two things:

#1

Solutions are unique to and fit the problem being solved

#2

Diversity of thought is an organic principle of our team

This isn't the easy approach. It's the right one. By maintaining proficiency with many different standards, we're able to provide an increased level of service that's decoupled from any single technology, language, or trend. It means we're able to serve a broader range of clients and be prepared for evolving needs.

Plus, the team at Cuttlesoft gets to call themselves a rather fancy word: Polyglots.

pol·y·glot (noun)
a person who knows and is able to use several languages.
Project Journey

Here's how we take your project from start to finish.

Discovery

We think of this initial phase as a fact-finding mission. It's a chance for our team of experts to dive into the problem space, build mental models, and come out with a charted path.

Analysis

During the analysis phase, we break down the deliverables, draft the Project Charter into detailed business requirements, and align on acceptance criteria and KPIs.

Development

The title "Development" can be misleading as it covers many areas of work. This phase is where the design, engineering, and testing of the software is performed.

Release

Once the software is tested and compared against the acceptance tests and KPIs defined in step 2, the system is ready for its initial deployment. From there, we'll move on to user testing and repeat the process.

Cuttlesoft's polyglot development team collaborates during a project discovery session at their Denver office, demonstrating their technology-agnostic approach to software development. Engineering, product, and design experts discuss client requirements over morning coffee, showing how diverse disciplines come together to create custom solutions across healthcare, government, and enterprise sectors. The laptop displaying development tools and project documentation highlights their expertise in multiple programming languages including Python, Ruby, and JavaScript. This casual yet focused meeting captures Cuttlesoft's process - combining technical diversity with clear communication to transform complex requirements into practical software solutions. The outdoor setting at their Colorado headquarters reflects their commitment to work-life balance while maintaining professional excellence in custom software development, mobile applications, and enterprise solutions.
Dynamics

Engineering. Product. Design.

We believe communication is the most vital component of any team. As the dynamics of software teams evolve, new disciplines are created.

Roles such as Product Management, UX Research, DevOps, and Interaction Design are now integral to the success of digital products. This means that teams can become larger and more diverse than ever before.

That's a good thing!

Teams that are diverse in disciplines are just one way that Cuttlesoft builds success into our game plan. But that's not the only reason we do it. We often say "vaporware leaves poor reviews" because we know getting to market and winning customers is the goal.

Each project's team features a product manager focused on business objectives and delivering value, a design lead to ensure we attract those customers, and of course, expert engineers to bring your brilliance to life!

Organizations which design systems are constrained to produce systems which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.

This setup demonstrates how Cuttlesoft's technology-agnostic approach combines multiple tools and languages to create custom solutions. The organized tracking system reflects their structured process from discovery through deployment, ensuring complex requirements for healthcare, government, and enterprise clients are met. The detailed documentation visible on screen highlights their commitment to thorough analysis before development begins, a key part of their polyglot development methodology.

Engineering

You won't find magicians, ninjas, or rock stars on Cuttlesoft Engineering Teams. Instead, you'll find a group of insatiably curious, resourceful, and passionate software experts that ask questions, validate ideas, and put UX above the rest.

Product

Product Management is how we ensure that every line of code is solving a business problem. Each team maintains a key member focused on the OKRs for your product and the success of your business.
