Software engineering services

Software that works the way your business does.

CloudAspen builds custom software, modernises the systems you already run and connects the tools your teams use every day. You know the scope, the cost and the dates before any work starts.

The same people throughoutThe engineers who scope your project are the ones who build it and hand it over. Nothing gets lost in translation.
No surprisesA written proposal with scope, cost and dates before any work starts. If something changes, we agree it in writing first.
You own everythingCode, infrastructure and documentation are yours from day one, in accounts you control.
Direct communicationYou deal directly with the engineers on your project, not an account manager, so questions get real answers quickly.
What we do

From the first idea to systems that run for years

Whether you are a startup, an established business or a team under deadline pressure, the aim is the same: software you can rely on and understand.

Custom software development

Web applications, internal tools, customer portals and APIs, designed around how your people actually work rather than how the software wants them to.

  • Web and mobile-friendly applications
  • Internal tools and customer portals
  • Tested, documented and secure from the start

System modernisation

When the system you have is holding the business back, we untangle it, rebuild it in stages or move it somewhere better, without stopping day-to-day work.

  • Legacy rewrites, one piece at a time
  • Performance and reliability fixes
  • Platform and database migrations

Integration and automation

Your tools should talk to each other. We connect them and remove the copy-and-paste steps in between, so data moves on its own and people get their time back.

  • Connections between the systems you already run
  • Automated hand-offs instead of manual steps
  • Data that stays in sync, with reporting on top

Cloud hosting and DevOps

Hosting, deployment pipelines and monitoring that are simple enough to run without a dedicated operations team and will not surprise you on the monthly bill.

  • Hosting on the major cloud platforms
  • Automated, repeatable deployments
  • Cost and security reviews

Atlassian and Jira apps

Apps and automation for Jira Cloud, including moving Connect apps to Forge before Atlassian ends support for Connect. We build Jira apps ourselves, so we know the platform well.

  • Connect to Forge migration
  • Custom Jira Cloud apps
  • Workflow and automation design

Software audit

An independent, plain-English review of a codebase or system you have inherited, bought or built, with a written report you can act on.

  • Architecture and code quality
  • Performance and security findings
  • A prioritised fix plan with estimates
How we work

Three steps, no surprises

STEP 1

Discover

It starts with a free 30-minute call. We talk through the problem, the systems involved and what a good result looks like. We ask the awkward questions early, while they are cheap to answer.

STEP 2

Propose

Within three working days you get a written proposal: what we will build, how, what it costs and when it will be ready. You decide with the full picture in front of you.

STEP 3

Deliver

Work goes into your own environment in weekly releases, with a short written update each week so you always know where things stand. At the end you get a proper handover and documentation.

Our products

ChatAspen – Google Chat for Jira

Jira updates, posted into the Google Chat spaces your teams already use. A Jira admin sets up the rules once: which projects, which events, which status changes, which people. Every issue gets its own thread, so a space stays readable instead of turning into noise. Setup takes a pasted webhook and a test button.

Who we are

Independent, remote-first and straightforward to work with

CloudAspen is an independent, remote-first software company. We keep projects deliberately focused, with the same engineers involved from the first conversation to the final handover. That means fewer handoffs, faster decisions and code that can be explained in full to whoever looks after it next.

We work with clients wherever they are, over video calls, email and whichever chat tool you already use. Where you are matters less than how clearly we can talk.

What you can expect

  • Honest estimates, including a straight answer when something should not be built.
  • Work done in your repositories and your cloud accounts, under your access control.
  • Tests, documentation and a handover any engineer could pick up.
  • Scope, cost and dates agreed in writing, and a clear process if the scope moves.
  • Support after launch on a simple monthly arrangement, if you want it.
