How We Build
How We Build
Step 1 - Discovery & Scoping
We map your architecture, risks, and goals into a scope everyone can sign.
Step 2 - Architecture Design
Experts lock in tech, data, and compliance before code starts.
Step 3 - Agile Development
Bi-weekly demos of working software. No status decks, just real progress.
Step 4 - QA & Security Testing
Testing and security run inside every sprint. Issues get caught early.
Step 5 - Deployment & Go-Live
Planned rollouts with monitoring and rollback. Boring launches mean we did it right.
Step 6 - Ongoing Support
The team that built it supports it. Fixes and features ship faster.

TensorFlowBuilt for Compliance
Built for Compliance from Sprint One
For regulated industries, compliance starts in Sprint 1. GDPR, audit logging, access controls, AI governance, and data residency are specified upfront, not retrofitted later.
DORA, NIS2, and EU AI Act requirements are mapped into the backlog as acceptance criteria. Your compliance officer, regulator, and auditor get software they recognize as compliant.

FAQ
Custom Software Development - Common Questions
Custom software development with Dutch Technology Frontiers typically ranges from €75,000 for focused builds to several million euros for multi-phase enterprise platforms. A fixed scope and price are provided after the discovery phase, so investment and governance can be planned before development begins.
A focused custom build takes 3–6 months from scope to production. Complex enterprise platforms and legacy modernisation programmes run 9–18 months, delivered in phases with earlier go-lives for prioritised modules. Fixed delivery milestones ensure stakeholders know what is shipping when.
Off-the-shelf platforms are faster to deploy but force your business to operate the way the platform was designed. Custom software is built around your workflows, compliance posture, and competitive differentiation. For core operations and regulated systems, custom nearly always wins on total cost of ownership.
Yes. GDPR is embedded in every engagement by default. DORA is embedded wherever the client is a financial entity inside DORA scope. NIS2 and the EU AI Act are applied wherever relevant. Compliance controls are written as sprint acceptance criteria, not as a separate end-of-project deliverable.
Yes. Post-launch support is available on retained monthly, fixed-price project, or on-demand contracts. Most clients retain a portion of the original build team for 12–24 months after go-live to preserve institutional knowledge and reduce the cost of future features and fixes.
All code, documentation, and IP produced under a Dutch Technology Frontiers engagement belong to the client on delivery and payment. No usage licences, no vendor lock-in clauses, no hidden rights carve-outs. The contractual default is full assignment. We share a sample agreement before commercial discussions begin.
Yes. Legacy modernisation is delivered phase by phase, with parallel-run periods, rollback plans, and a structured cutover for each module. We have modernised core systems for financial services, insurance, and logistics clients with zero unplanned operational downtime across full programmes.
Yes. Dutch Technology Frontiers builds production AI systems for financial services, insurance, and healthcare clients under the EU AI Act framework. Every AI build includes model governance, audit logging, human-in-the-loop controls, and explainability documentation structured for regulatory review.
Three models: fixed price for well-defined scopes; time and materials for discovery and evolving scopes; retainer for ongoing platform ownership and continuous improvement. Most large programmes combine models across phases.
