About Direct Software

Welcome to Direct Software.

Who we are, why we started and who is behind Direct Software.

Who we are

A network of experts.

Direct Software works with an established network of functional and technical experts. Because location is not a constraint, we can involve the specialists suited to the question at hand. Remote work also reduces travel and unnecessary meetings, so more of the investment goes into the software itself. We work on site when it helps us understand the day-to-day operation or make an important decision together.

Why we started

Experts use AI to make your software budget go further.

Your Product Owner and the people who understand the day-to-day work contribute the requirements and decisions. Our experts use AI to analyse, design, build and test the software, reducing delivery effort and cost while keeping the expert judgement and quality checks dependable software needs.

AI supports work across requirements, design, implementation and testing. Experienced people make the technical decisions, review the output and remain responsible for security, maintainability and production quality.

The client controls the outcomes, priorities, pace and investment. We are responsible for our technical recommendations and the quality of the software we deliver.
