Uncovering SCAD’s Secret Sauce - The Magic of Metaprogramming
The Magic of Metaprogramming
We have pioneered a faster, more flexible, way to build software that helps companies keep pace with digital transformation in today’s innovation-hungry world. If you’ve been searching for a low-risk software development partner to help you deliver technology innovation at the speed you need, you’re not alone. When you choose to partner with SCAD Software, not only do you gain comfort from our 100% project delivery track record, but you also gain assurance that we are as committed to your project as you are. Our commercial model is based around the principle of shared risk and oriented to payment on delivery.
How we deliver software & faster with Low-Risk
Our approach to software development allows us to develop custom software and achieve faster software time-to-market faster than almost any other method. That means we can deliver your software project within weeks or months, rather than years. We make extensive use of metadata and RESTful services to connect to different software and services. The result is an application that has a much smaller footprint in terms of the code base. This has significant technical and commercial benefits not only in the build, but ongoing in future maintenance, enhancements and updates. Time and time again, people tell us our claims sound too good to be true until they see the proof! We really can – and do – deliver on our promises.

Five Reasons SCAD Software Is Different:

Our Business Philosophy

How We Deliver Our Methodology
Code Agnostic
The SCAD framework is programming-language agnostic. It replaces vast amounts of source code (typically around 40%) with metadata and uses REST-based services to connect to an infinite range of software and services.
Use Metadata
Since we use the metadata to build your custom application, we don’t even need the source code! We can start with the database schema or the front end, giving you ultimate flexibility. And our approach captures the best of waterfall and agile methods.
Transformed Application
Your application can be hosted in the cloud, on-premise, or as a hybrid solution, depending on the needs of your business environment. Typically we will have the transformed application up and running within 3-6 months, ready to help you design a migration strategy so you can re-engineer your software at the speed your business needs.
