Digital55

The Spanish firm Digital55 builds and maintains digital platforms, with a growing focus on applications that use artificial intelligence. The firm works in agile teams and says it chooses how to staff each project, whether that means specialists joining a client's group or a complete unit that owns the work from start to finish. The firm has fifteen years of platform building behind it, and it says its approach keeps clients and their users close from the first day of a project.

Staffing models for agile teams

The firm offers two ways of organising a project. Its technical teams can be provided on a time-and-materials basis, with specialists working on a client's product as its needs change. Alternatively, key profiles can be placed within the client's own team, or Digital55 can create an autonomous development unit that works independently. The company says it is flexible and chooses the model that suits each engagement.

Technology stacks and frameworks

On the front end the company works with JavaScript frameworks including Angular, Ionic, React and Vue. For back-end and general development it uses Java, .NET, Node, Ruby on Rails and PHP. The firm also builds on content platforms such as WordPress and Drupal, and it works with the major cloud providers AWS, GCP and Azure. Its material says it keeps up with current technologies, including machine learning, artificial intelligence and the internet of things where a project calls for them.

Projects in insurance, sport and agriculture

The public text names several examples of past work. These include online booking and kiosk systems for an insurance group, a smart farming app built with PRISMAB, management platforms for a football league, and a risk pricing tool for a reinsurer. The projects are concentrated in insurance, sport and agriculture, according to the company, though it does not describe the results of each one.

Testing and infrastructure

Digital55 offers quality assurance services for client software, and it manages the infrastructure that systems run on so that products perform well in use. These services sit alongside its development work, and the company presents them as a way to keep a platform reliable after launch. Its site describes both development and maintenance of applications with AI, along with QA and infrastructure, as parts of one offer.
