WELCOME

Propona is a Microsoft Partner company providing high quality software development and consultancy services from our Cardiff base. We prefer to work with the latest Microsoft technologies (Azure, Azure DevOps, Azure SQL, .NET Core, etc.) but are also more than happy to support and/ or migrate projects of a legacy technological basis. Propona expertise extends wider than the purely technological, however, to all facets of the software development project lifecycle from requirements analysis through to testing and ongoing support. Or to leading teams through projects in the form of team leadership, project management or scrum mastery. In fact, Agile methodologies and the Scrum framework is a particular speciality if your Scrum team could benefit from resources in this area.

Propona has a proven track record since 2001 in delivering services and solutions to a broad range of public and private sector clients in South Wales, throughout the UK and abroad. Like our clients, our hundreds of successful projects have been varied. Formerly, Propona were basically a ‘software house’ – we’d go through the quote – tender – delivery process for projects of various sizes. Never say never but we haven’t done this for some time, rather providing services on a ‘time and materials’ basis, e.g. a freelance developer or Scrum Master for x hours per week or for the duration of a specific project. Thus, our aim is to augment your own delivery team rather than to provide it in its entirety. Therefore, today Propona’s services can be considered to fall in two overlapping categories:

    We are getting some really positive comments on the website - we had a stakeholders meeting in Cardiff yesterday and a fair few were green with envy!

Consultancy
Consultancy

Propona will provide consultancy on the full range of IT project lifecycle activities enabling our clients to utilise areas of Propona's expertise inside or outside of the context of a software development project. This may include both Microsoft technology specific services, for example ASP.NET development resources, but also technology agnostic activities such as requirements analysis or Agile coaching.

Support
Cloud Services

A significant component of our day to day business is providing support of existing software applications, typically database driven websites built on Microsoft technologies but not necessarily so, and not necessarily originally developed by Propona either. Our support service is normally delivered under a Service Level Agreement to guarantee a certain number of hours of monthly support/ developer availability within a maximum response time. [more on our support services]
