Brainspire Solutions

Brainspire Solutions describes itself as a Denver firm for custom software development. It builds full-stack applications that fit how a client's company already works, as an alternative to settling for off-the-shelf packages that only partly match. Its consultants lead the process of capturing requirements, preparing an estimate, planning, architecture, development and delivery.

New builds, upgrades and rewrites

Custom application development covers brand-new software as well as enhancements to existing systems and complete upgrades or rewrites. Cloud-based software development is a separate line, and a software security service sits alongside it. The developers work in Python, Java, PHP, JavaScript and ASP.NET, and in the Angular, React and Vue front-end frameworks.

Data and business intelligence

Its business intelligence consultants work on site with customers, on the view that the quickest way to understand a need is to be inside the business and bridge the gap between goals and raw data. Standard canned reports seldom give decision makers the insight they want, so the firm builds dashboards, reports and analytics using business intelligence, predictive analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. Database design and development and data cleansing and integration are part of the same practice.

Portals, websites and integration

Brainspire builds public websites, company intranets and secure extranets, arguing that a site must work on desktop, tablet and phone and has to do more than act as a digital brochure. On the integration side it connects a company's separate in-house applications with each other and with those of business partners. It points out that organizations often use a mix of packaged software, software as a service and custom systems that rarely work together, which leaves manual processes to fill the gaps.

Mobile applications

Custom mobile work includes native applications, hybrid applications and mobile web.

Industries

Its client industries stretch from retail, wholesale and agriculture through construction, natural resources and healthcare to real estate, IT and communications, and on to professional services, hospitality, transportation, manufacturing and finance.
