About

A Quebec software development company

AltaCodis builds custom software and automation for Quebec businesses. Our job is turning manual processes and aging systems into applications people can actually rely on.

Who we are

AltaCodis is a software development firm based in Quebec. We work with businesses and organizations whose operations have outgrown their tools. Processes spilling out of Excel, systems that don't talk to each other, business-critical software nobody can safely change anymore.

We believe good business software starts with understanding the business, not with the technology. That is why every project opens with a discovery phase and continues through staged releases you sign off on as they land.

We handle the whole thing in house. Discovery, UX/UI design, development, quality assurance, and deployment. Nothing critical depends on a third party you never chose.

Our approach

  • Understand before building. Discovery always comes before the code.
  • Deliver in stages. Visible deliverables early, rather than one risky release at the end.
  • Test properly. We cover the critical workflows with tests before every release.
  • Stick around. Software that ships keeps changing, and we stay with it.

Technologies

We build on a proven stack, chosen for reliability and maintainability. C# and .NET at the core of our applications, web technologies for the interfaces, MySQL for data, and native iOS and Android for mobile. Our choices always follow your constraints, whether that is an existing system, your hosting, or the team you already have in house.

Where we work

We work with businesses across Greater Montreal, Laval, the North Shore, and the Quebec City region. The moments that matter most are best handled in person, meaning discovery, sign-offs, and launch. The day-to-day runs efficiently over video.

How we work

Five stages, something to show for each one, and a partner who stands behind the quality.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We map your processes, your systems, and the places things break down. You walk away with a clear picture of what is actually worth building.

  2. 2

    UX / UI

    Mockups of the key screens before a line of code is written. You sign off on how the software will look and behave.

  3. 3

    Development

    Built in short iterations, with working versions you can click through and give feedback on as we go.

  4. 4

    Quality assurance

    Systematic testing of your critical workflows, the edge cases, and the migration of your existing data.

  5. 5

    Deployment

    A go-live we run with you, training for your team, and close follow-up after launch.
