HOW WE PROVIDE VALUE
Alignment: We start with alignment. Alignment means speed, because you eliminate all the work that is not important to the business, while getting proper support from our customers. Our alignment starts in sales, where a triple verification process is built into the methodology. Next, our agile processes focus on customer feedback, and objective based statements of work, tied to business outcomes, guide us through delivery.
Asset-Based: All our products and services are built using our unique asset-based approach. Our applications are built in a layer cake fashion, using the huge base of technology services in the cloud. Think of these as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Technical Services Legos or Digital Building Blocks. We then build upon those services with Incus5 Digital Building Blocks. Think of these as Incus5 Business Service Legos, to move very fast, very fast. This allows customers to drive innovation and permanently lower operating costs.
100% Solution: When we start a new project, upwards of 60 percent of the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) can be done even before we even start. With many SaaS solutions, it can be common to meet this threshold and beyond, but it is difficult to get to 100%. Incus5 asset-based layer cake approach, rigorous alignment processes and white glove services get you over the finish line. 100% solutions also must in include support after the solution has been deployed. Our white glove service continues with full life cycle support. Busy organizations benefit from these white glove services which are necessary to provide the value to the business and improve the user experience.
ACHIEVE BIG ROI
Monetize an Acquisition faster
We have teams, specialized processes, and models to absorb companies post acquisition much faster. All but the newest companies will have some technology debt. Companies who have grown from mergers and acquisitions will have the most. Getting the acquired company on your systems as quickly as possible, and eliminating their tech debt, will speed up absorption.
Finish Product Roadmaps faster
If you are a software or hardware company, getting what you already know your customers want into production faster can support a smaller sales budget while increasing sales. All market leaders understand “market fit” in their verticals, and the special features demanded by their best customers. Trick for the products and platforms is getting them into product fast. This drives more revenue from new sales and customer retention, meaning sales and marketing can run leaner and get better results.

“Two things a CEO absolutely must get right today are speed and direction. Speed is required because if you can’t bring something new or improved to market fast, your chance of being slammed by an exogenous factor is enormous. But you can’t go fast without being sure of your direction, and the only way to validate direction is to get and interpret real customer data. Our Structured Ideation & Prototyping Sprint is modeled after a process perfected at Google, and it is quite simply the fastest way to validate direction, period. Within two weeks of asking key questions to create and build working prototypes using existing structures, new enhancements, and real data, we can get your team to a strong “go” or “no-go” on a new idea or future improvements to an existing one.”
– Art Hansen
“Incus5 is a purpose-driven, detail-oriented company built to do the work of a Digital Transformation. We do this by understanding who you are and what is important to you from a tech perspective with our Rapid Validation & Design Sprint (RVDS). Our RVDS is a prescriptive, two-week process dedicated to defining direction, making decisions, and building validated, executable designs with real customer data and prototyping. This process was developed at Google and later perfected at Google Ventures. There are five guiding principles that we have established to govern our development work together, and they are represented by the 5 in Incus5. They are: Alignment, Asset Integration, UX Elevation, Data Connection and Retirement of Technology Debt. Following these principles, we work to understand your business, design processes that support your digital goals, and work along side you in building digital platforms that truly make a difference. Give us a call and let’s get to work.”
– Mac McKeen
The Team
The world of technology moves at a staggering pace. That’s why we approach our work and the people we hire differently than most. We focus on intelligence versus the traditional skills attainment model, valuing highly intelligent people that can learn and adapt quickly. Individuals who can dive deep enough into a new technology and leverage it in creative ways help Incus5 stand out from the traditional boutique development firm.
In our development work, we take a humble approach by looking to open-source projects, public cloud providers, and application vendors that can provide new solutions, services, and new features. This allows us to focus on integrating these services and features to build differentiation into your digital platforms. Doing this saves you development costs, allows you to stay close to the innovation curve, and adds value to your digital platform as others improve their underlying components
