At Wires Uncrossed, we help technology and product organisations uplift productivity while boosting reliability and team-customer satisfaction. Using our Hierarchy of Engineering Needs and the Theory of Constraints, we help your teams unlock their full potential and accelerate your technology strategy
YOUR CHALLENGE, OUR PASSION
Do any of these sound familiar?
1.
Productivity has slowed something is constraining your delivery system
You need help to identify the system constraints and targeted coaching to help adopt new practices
2.
Engineering transformation or cloud migration has stalled
You and your teams are aware of modern engineering and platform practices but aren’t able to identify what actions you need to unblock the work.
3.
Legacy applications and technical debt holding your back
You are not sure if you should be re-platforming, re-factoring, re-writing or which applications to prioritise. But you know you need a plan to achieve goals and increase delivery of value.
​
4.
Struggling to attract and retain modern engineers
You are struggling to retain your engineers looking for career development in more modern workforces. But you know you need a structured continuous learning and improvement plan for your people.
5.
Need to make a sustainable culture change to a world class excellent engineering organisation
You have heard and read about many modern engineering practices but not sure how to drive the cultural change and measure its impact
6.
Need advice on strategic direction and ROI
You have ideas on what direction to take but need experienced viewpoints to help you understand the trade-offs and support you in setting your strategy
OUR SERVICES - YOUR SOLUTION
Accelerating your team’s delivery performance
AI IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
Think software, think AI - right?
​
At Wires Uncrossed, AI is part of our daily work– from quick research and critique to software engineering - mainly the coding part. The industry has been swept up in hype cycles fuelled by hundreds of billions in investment, fear, and ambition. We focus on what’s actually useful and necessary for your organisation, and your constraints - today. AI hasn’t changed the fundamentals of building, running and maintaining commercial software systems – but it makes many of the 40 core engineering capabilities easier, more attainable. AI is also aggravating long-standing issues in governance, quality, and technical debt.
