The busy work keeps growing. The quick fixes keep breaking.
Copying data between systems, building the monthly report by hand, chasing approvals over email. Spreadsheets and macros help for a while, and AI tools can knock up a prototype in an afternoon. Turning that into something secure the whole team can rely on is another job altogether.
That’s where we come in. We start with an interview, find the work that shouldn’t need a person, give you a working prototype to try, then deliver secure, hosted software.
The person interviewing you is the person designing the software.
Useful software depends on asking the right questions early. Because we understand both how businesses run and how software is designed, the interview gets to what matters quickly and nothing is lost between a requirements document and the build.
We find the real problem
- How the work is done today, step by step
- Where time is lost and where errors creep in
- Who needs to see what, and who approves what
- Which exceptions matter and which can wait
We design the right solution
- What data needs storing, and how it fits together
- Which systems to connect to, and how reliably
- Where automation or AI helps, and where it doesn’t
- Security and access designed in from the start
From interview to working software, in plain English throughout.
Interview
Start with five questions here, then a working session where we ask how your team works today and what the software must do.
Prototype
We build a working prototype from the interview, so your team can try the core workflow and tell us what to change.
Build
We turn the agreed prototype into production software with Microsoft 365 sign-in, a proper database and the integrations you need.
Launch and support
Every release comes with training and help to make the delivery a success. Making sure your investment leads to real efficiencies.
What your team receives
- Working software built around how your team already works, available to the agreed users.
- Access from the office and home, hosted by Hyperneph or in your own public cloud account.
- Sign-in with existing Microsoft 365 work accounts. Only approved people can view information or carry out actions.
- Reliable storage, so several people can use it at the same time.
- Backups and a tested way to recover the information if something goes wrong.
- Training and help with every release, plus source code and clear operating, access and support instructions.
Examples
What is the manual work costing you?
Tell us how many people do the task today and for how long. We assume automation reduces the human effort to around 10% of what it is now, leaving review and exceptions.
Estimate only. Assumes 46 working weeks and 1,725 working hours per full-time person per year. Actual savings are confirmed after the interview.
Nobody sees a page until they’ve signed in with their work account.
Access is checked whenever someone opens a page, searches, downloads a document or requests information. Knowing a link is not enough. The same protection covers the whole application, including parts users never see on screen.
Work-account sign-in
Your Microsoft 365 protections, including MFA and Conditional Access, apply to the app.
Restricted administration
Changing settings and running admin tasks is limited to named people.
Encrypted in transit
Information is protected as it travels between users and the service.
Tested backups
Backups are encrypted and we check they can actually restore the service.
Microsoft Entra ID with OpenID Connect on OAuth 2.0. Every page and all data access require an authenticated session. Identities are restricted to your tenant and approved users; permissions are enforced on the server for every page, API endpoint, search, export and download. Your MFA and Conditional Access policies apply.
PostgreSQL with structured fields, indexes, transactions and duplicate prevention, so several users can work at once without lost updates. The database is kept off the public internet and accessed through least-privilege accounts.
HTTPS, secure session cookies, session expiry, CSRF protection and security headers. Parameterised queries, input validation and safe rendering. Secrets held in a managed store and excluded from logs; confidential data kept out of AI requests unless you approve it.
Approved users can sign in from agreed locations; unauthenticated and unapproved users are blocked from pages, APIs, exports and documents. Concurrent use, restarts, a database restore and a rollback are all tested before handover.
Scope agreed after the interview. No surprise renewals.
We estimate the days after the interview, covering the prototype and production build, and confirm the scope in writing. Any additional work is agreed before we start it.
Starts when the service is made available to your team. Afterwards, move to your own public cloud account or continue with Hyperneph, on costs agreed in advance.
Discounted trial rates may be available where you agree we can use the project as a case study. Content, use of your name and any confidential information are agreed with you before anything is published.
What we need from you
An hour for the interview, sample data or documents the software will handle, details of any systems it connects to, the approved user list, and the Microsoft 365 permissions needed to register the app. Credentials are shared through secure channels only.
What’s not included
Independent penetration testing and 24-hour or high-availability support. Ongoing patching, monitoring and recovery targets are defined in any continuation agreement. New features after launch are quoted separately.
