Technology consulting & outsourcing

Coherent Solutions is a technology consulting and outsourcing company that creates opportunities and solves problems for its customers as they tackle the complexities of building commercial grade software. Since 1995, we have helped large enterprises, software vendors, and SMBs save development, testing, and maintenance costs, and bring products and complex applications to market faster. The company's offices in the U.S. and Eastern Europe allow it to provide consulting services in both markets paired with offshore software development, testing, and maintenance outsourcing services from its development center in Minsk, Belarus.

 

At Coherent, we help you create technology solutions. These solutions help customers realize high business value by leveraging new technology capabilities to create opportunities and respond to challenges. We define requirements, design, develop, test and integrate solutions across multiple platforms including web and mobile technologies.

We follow one of two approaches to technology solution development and integration:
  • Turnkey, full life-cycle development, in which we assume start-to-finish responsibility for analysis, design, implementation, testing and integration of solutions; or
  • Joint development, in which our teams work with your in-house technical personnel to cooperatively analyze, design, implement, test and integrate new technology solutions.
 

 

Experienced outsourcing customers know that they can rely on it to save money, improve quality, increase productivity, and expand the flexibility of their operations. Indeed, savvy companies rely on offshore software development as a strategic business tool, but they know not all outsourcers are created equally and they can only enjoy its benefits if they pick the right vendor. Coherent Solutions has what it takes to be that vendor. We have the necessary skills and experience to maximize the return on your outsourcing investments.

I have a Software Product

You have a successful software product. It might be SaaS, mobile, desktop, or client/server product. The challenge is, however, your market keeps getting more competitive every day. Your customers are demanding more features, faster release schedules, and possibly even help customizing your base application for their needs. You need an edge. Over half of Coherent’s customers are software product companies just like you. They had a good product, but needed to get more features into it on increasingly tighter schedules…all on a budget. And they needed to find a vendor who understood the rigor and complexities of developing commercial grade software. Some used Coherent as a core product development engine for their enterprise. Others used the Coherent team as a base to launch a professional services organization... Read more

I have a Complex Business App

The right business applications can be one of your competitive advantages. The wrong ones can make you feel like you’re trying to drag an anchor while running a marathon. Custom business applications should improve your efficiency and enhance profitability by amplifying the proprietary parts of your processes and business value. Do your applications do that? Or do they feel like a money pit that you constantly pour money into without any benefit? We can help. We build software across a wide variety of industries that lets companies run leaner, better, faster. We understand how to integrate these applications into your enterprise architecture and partner ecosystem. We help companies leverage the newest developments in technology for their benefit. Mobile applications…RIAs that merge the productivity of desktop... Read more

What Makes You Guys Different?

Glad you asked because that really is the fundamental question isn’t it? Information technology is a crowded space. Companies have hundred of options, but the vendor’s quality is extremely important in realizing the potential. Our business is based on four footings: Exceptional people, transparent process, flexibility, and a culture of commitment. Exceptional people. Our software development professionals command the respect of their peers. They know software and software development. They’re highly trained and experienced, and they keep on learning. You can scale the size of your team up or down, as needed, without sacrificing pace or expertise because the Coherent team makes it a practice to share their knowledge and experience, and they stay current on the latest in software development and testing. T... Read more

I'm a Small Company

Coherent Solutions has worked with small companies just like you over the last 14 years. We understand that your budgets are not limitless and that you need to maximize the return on your cash outlays. We also understand that you need to work with real people probably under an Agile development approach.  You need to work in an environment where teamwork and common sense take precedence over bureaucracy and non-value added process overhead and documentation. You don’t need to be a Fortune 500 company with friends like us. We have teams that scale to dozens of resources for a given client, but we also have teams as small as 2 developers working for client software development organizations of 4-5 people. Small companies who know that intelligent partnerships with technology solution providers can be a true diffe... Read more
