Working with XSIS

You have a named delivery lead and a regular rhythm: planning at the start of each iteration, a demonstration of working software at the end, and a short written report on progress, risks and decisions. You can see the backlog, the code repository and the test results at any time. Steering meetings with your sponsors are held at an interval you choose.

We agree working hours with you before the team starts, including the hours when the team and your staff overlap for meetings, reviews and questions. Where your users or systems need cover outside those hours, we plan it into the team’s shape rather than leave it to chance.

Everyone works to the same coding standards, testing rules and definition of done, and uses the same pipelines and checks. XSIS engineers review changes before they are merged. Quality problems are raised in the same way for everyone, and the delivery lead acts on them.

When the outcome can be described clearly and you want one company to be responsible for reaching it: a defined application, an integration, a migration. If your priorities will keep changing, or the work has no natural end, a dedicated team usually fits better.

Against acceptance criteria we write and agree with you before the build starts. At each milestone we demonstrate the work and you test it against those criteria. If something does not meet them, we fix it. When everything in scope meets its criteria, you sign off the milestone or the project.

Requirements often change, and that is fine. Each change goes through change control: we describe the change, its effect on cost and on the plan, and you decide. Nothing changes the scope, the price or the dates without your written approval.

Before a decision that is expensive to reverse: choosing or replacing an ERP or core platform, designing how many banks and partners will connect, moving to the cloud, or recovering a project that is late. It is also useful before raising investment or buying a company, when you need an outside view of a technology estate. For small, reversible choices, a short call is usually enough.

Written documents, not just a presentation: an assessment of the current state, a target architecture, the options compared with a recommendation, decision records, and a phased roadmap with an estimate and its assumptions. We walk your team through each one and update them after your review.

Organisations that want to use AI but are unsure where to begin, have tried pilots that did not reach production, or need to show a board or regulator that AI investment is planned and controlled. It suits companies with significant data and established systems, such as banks, insurers, retailers, manufacturers and public bodies.

A written report and a presentation: the use-case inventory, the scoring and ranking, the data and platform findings, the risks and the controls proportionate to them, the skills assessment, a phased roadmap with effort estimates and a detailed proposal for the first pilot. Your team keeps every document and can share it internally or with other suppliers.

No. The roadmap and pilot proposal are yours to deliver with XSIS, another supplier or your own team. If you choose XSIS, the people who did the assessment can stay involved, so knowledge is not lost between planning and delivery.

Start from two questions: how clear is the outcome, and how much of the day-to-day management do you want to carry? A clear outcome with an end points to project-based delivery. A product with a changing roadmap points to a dedicated team. If you already run a team and need skills or capacity, staff augmentation fits. We recommend a model in our proposal and explain why.

Yes. Work often starts as a project and continues as a dedicated team, or a dedicated team is gradually replaced by your own hires. We plan the change with you, including handover and notice, and keep the same people where that helps.

Through written reports at a rhythm you choose: what was planned, what was delivered, what is at risk and what needs your decision. You also see the work itself, in demonstrations, in the backlog and in the code in your own tools. For projects, reports track milestones and change requests.
