Flycatch

Modern IT practice for organisations that still run traditional processes is the focus of a custom software company in Saudi Arabia. Flycatch works on DevOps, cloud adoption, data systems and the building of new products. It describes itself as an application service provider, and it says it has five or more years of experience, more than 55 projects and more than 30 clients, figures the company gives about itself.

Infrastructure, delivery pipelines and cloud

Flycatch's infrastructure work covers management and automation, treating infrastructure as code so that systems are steadier and easier to change. Its continuous integration and delivery service adds automated testing, deployment and orchestration, so that releases can reach production with less manual effort and fewer surprises. The company says that moving to continuous delivery improves throughput, makes systems more resilient and brings products to market faster.

Its cloud work is built on a cloud-first platform approach. The company describes cloud as a cornerstone of digital transformation that improves efficiency, controls cost and gives businesses flexibility to collaborate across technologies.

Data, MVPs and modernisation

The data work aims to make organisations more data-centric. Flycatch brings data together, transforms and integrates it, and makes it available at every level of an organisation so that decisions can be taken with confidence. Its services include cloud data management, visualisation and business intelligence.

The company's MVP approach is built on lean startup methods and agile delivery. It says a minimum viable product can be taken to launch in around two months, and that the product can then grow into a fuller platform through phased development. Application modernisation updates core business applications so that an organisation can adopt digital tools at a faster pace.

Staffing and offshore delivery centres

Flycatch also offers IT staffing and what it calls BOT and virtual captive models, arrangements in which a client sets up an offshore delivery centre with the company's help. The company says its team is made up of vetted candidates, chosen for their positive attitude and their commitment to challenges.

Client projects

The company describes several projects. One is the Awaytogether platform, which was developed using a lean startup approach, moving from a list of the most useful features down to a minimum viable product and then growing into a mature platform through a phased process. Another is a credit-building product that helps people build and maintain their credit scores and access credit on fair terms.

It also reports technical and business support for an insurance broker in the Middle East, whose products span motor, health, home, travel and corporate cover, and a digital transformation for a private university in Saudi Arabia. A low-code fintech accelerator for a digital lending business is listed as well.
