	&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;software development cycle&quot; class=&quot;software_cycle&quot; src=&quot;/images/software_cycle.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;software development cycle&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A lot of people attribute Microsoft’s success to their technical savvy employees. It’s true that many Microsoft employees are technical savvy, but so are the employees in many software companies. A big factor of Microsoft’s success is actually that early on they figured out how to repeatedly and reliably build software while a lot of companies were/are building software by trial-and-error or by using some arcane methods/processes such as &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ISO&lt;/span&gt;-9000 or Six Sigma, that aren’t suitable for the fast pace of software
development.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;/div&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;At Causeware, we aim to create software that improves people’s lives, and enable other software companies that are doing the same. Our core team members spent collective decades at Microsoft working on various major products such as Windows, Windows Mobile, Windows NT, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;MSN&lt;/span&gt;, VirtualEarth, etc. Some of us also held development lead roles at Microsoft. Causeware can work with your company to streamline your approach in software engineering.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Invest for the long term to strengthen your software engineering team. We currently offer the following software engineering coaching plans:&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Your software application is not performing as well as you had hoped?  May be your web application is generally very fast but it cannot scale under load?  Or your desktop application slows down over time?  Or your mobile application cannot cope with the limited resources?  We can analyze your software to pinpoint the problems using proven techniques.&lt;/p&gt;
