Our Approach - How We Work

Every project demands the right balance between collaboration, speed, precision, and scalable execution. Our hybrid delivery model combines on-site collaboration and alignment with nearshore efficiency and remote flexibility — ensuring end-to-end accountability without friction.

The 45level Delivery Approach - Hybrid Delivery That Works

Our delivery model combines on-site collaboration with near‑shore engineering — close when it matters, scalable when it counts. Proven in dozens of projects, optimized for quality, speed and cost efficiency.

  • On-site alignment. Direct collaboration for workshops, sprints and critical milestones — fast decisions, shared context, instant alignment.
  • Nearshore efficiency. Engineering center in Sarajevo: exceptional talent, ISO‑certified delivery, true collaboration — cost‑effective, reliable, close.
  • Scalable Value. One team, one process, flexible capacity — more impact per euro without compromising quality, accountability or speed.

Our Commitment - Execution Excellence & Ownership

We bridge strategy and execution — delivering outcomes that work in the real world.

  • End-to-End Accountability. From concept to production and beyond, we take ownership. If challenges arise, we stay engaged until the job is done — no excuses.
  • Ship Fast, Iterate Faster. We believe in rapid delivery cycles — MVP in days or weeks, not months. Measure, learn, improve – continuously.
  • Transparent & Collaborative. You're part of the team. We work in the open: shared repos, live dashboards, regular syncs – no black boxes.
  • Quality Built-In. We don't bolt on quality at the end. Code reviews, automated testing, security scans, and documentation are part of every sprint.
  • Knowledge Transfer Included. We enable your team to take over – through training, documentation, and pair programming. Success means you can run independently.

Engineering Foundations - Technologies & Tooling

The standards, principles, and technologies that power our next-level delivery approach.

  • Modern Standards & Technologies. We design architectures around open, modern standards — from Lakehouse, Graph, Vector, and Cache-based models to API-driven integration, event streaming, and real-time communication protocols. Our solutions are always driven by interoperability, scalability, and speed, ensuring that systems connect and evolve effortlessly across environments. Depending on context, we implement with leading technologies such as Databricks, SAP HANA, PostgreSQL, DuckDB, Neo4j, Redis, Kafka, and many others — selecting what's best for the job and the client, not for the vendor. Our solutions are engineered for best-in-class performance, because speed equals business value: lower cost, faster insight, and greater agility in every decision.
  • Analytics, AI & Agents. We apply machine learning and generative AI only where they create measurable business value — not because it's trendy. From intelligent process automation to RAG systems, multi-agent setups, and domain-adapted language models fine-tuned on proprietary data, we build AI that serves a clear purpose. By staying model-agnostic and secure, combining platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or xAI with private data and infrastructure, we deliver AI solutions that are practical, transparent, and truly effective. For structured and numerical data, we rely on statistics, predictive analytics, and classic machine learning — often faster, cheaper, and more robust and precise than GenAI approaches.
  • Modern Software Engineering. We develop software with a focus on quality, consistency, and speed — combining proven engineering principles with the latest productivity tools. Our teams work with AI-assisted development environments, supported by pair programming, continuous reviews, and test automation to ensure precision and maintainability. We favor lean architectures, clean code, and reproducible builds — because good engineering isn't about complexity, but about clarity and craftsmanship. The result is robust, scalable, and future-proof software that delivers measurable business value.
  • Cloud-Native Architectures. From cloud to on-premise, we design and run containerized systems — whenever possible — using Kubernetes, Docker, and Infrastructure-as-Code automation e.g. with Terraform, Pulumi or Ansible. Our solutions can scale seamlessly across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, but also apply the same automation principles in your organization's environments — even on minimal edge devices.
  • No Vendor Lock-In. We stay independent of specific ecosystems but are true experts in the most widely used enterprise technologies. Our preferences are based on functional strength, not ideology — if we choose a platform, it's because it best serves our customers' needs. Technology evolves faster than ever, and sticking to one stack can quickly put you behind your competitors. That's why we design adaptable architectures based on common concepts and open standards — flexible, portable, extensible, and built to last.
  • Seamless Collaboration. We work transparently and closely with our clients — as one team. All projects run in shared digital workspaces using tools like GitHub, Jira, Notion, Figma, and Miro, ensuring full visibility across design, development, and delivery. Communication is direct, structured, and documented, so decisions never get lost and progress stays measurable. We adapt to your existing tools where it makes sense — or help modernize your setup to make collaboration faster, leaner, and more effective.
