What we do

AI has made implementation much faster. That makes decisions about what to build and how to proceed all the more important. We work with you to clarify your goals, plan the next steps, choose technologies and infrastructure, and develop security measures. Our advice is grounded in our experience building and operating services across the full stack. We can also take on development and implementation when needed.

Global. Yet local.English can take you far. A foundation for more languages can take you further. When language and regional needs are part of the design from the start, the cost of offering your service worldwide may be lower than you expect.

What we do

• Clarifying your IT goals and planning how to achieve them
• Helping choose the right mix of on-premises and cloud infrastructure
• Reviewing security and the scope of protection on the assumption that breaches can happen
• Second opinions on software developers’ proposals and quotes
• Planning for a global audience from the outset, with language and regional requirements built into your business and system design

Good multilingual copy starts with what you want to say and who you want to reach. You can use AI to improve it without having to master every language or depend entirely on outside specialists. We apply what we’ve learned supporting 30 languages in axfc, from writing the content to displaying and maintaining it. This includes languages written from right to left.

Many websites offer English. But what about other languages? A multilingual foundation helps you add languages and reach more people in a language they are comfortable using. Even supporting 100 languages might not be out of the question—though it certainly wouldn’t be easy.

This site goes beyond translation, too. Switch languages and see how we shape the message for each audience.

What we do

• Writing that speaks directly to readers in each language, with the help of AI
• Localizing existing sites (start with one language, add more over time)
• Designing for multiple languages from the start (separating text from code, language switching and automatic language detection)
• Layouts for right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew

We design, build and operate IT infrastructure, including networks, servers and cloud environments. As AI use grows, computing resources and networks become more important. With day-to-day use and future change in mind, we build foundations that are fast, reliable and easy to adapt. We decide how to use on-premises and cloud infrastructure based on the use case and the risks you want to avoid.

What we do

• Network design and implementation
• Assessing how to use on-premises and cloud infrastructure based on use case and risk
• Building and operating server and cloud environments
• Operational setup including monitoring and backups

We design connections between systems and the flow of data to suit your operations and services. Looking beyond individual functions, we consider the system as a whole and design it to run reliably.

What we do

• Assessing current operations and systems and planning the overall architecture
• Data and API integration between existing systems
• Planning and carrying out cloud migration and system consolidation
• Design with post-launch operations in mind

We plan and develop web applications and software that supports business operations. With AI-assisted development, we start small, test quickly and refine the product as people use it.

What we do

• Development of web applications and business systems
• Updating existing systems, adding features and providing maintenance
• Planning and prototyping AI-powered features
• Multilingual rollout of web services

The time between a vulnerability being disclosed and exploited is getting shorter each year. We cannot rely on the assumption that a breach will never happen. We define what to protect and the scope of that protection, then build multiple layers of defense. There is no need for undue alarm: the people defending a system know its environment and can design access paths and choose where to monitor. We use that knowledge to plan the defenses. By working across infrastructure and applications, we can see what is happening at each layer and respond quickly.

What we do

• Identifying what information needs protection, defining the scope and setting priorities
• Defense in depth that assumes breaches can occur (networks, servers, applications and data)
• Tracking vulnerability information and applying updates and fixes quickly
• Early detection of anomalies through monitoring and logs
• First response, root-cause investigation and recovery when incidents occur

We develop and operate axfc, which lets you create, edit, send and receive files in your browser, and axfc biz for teams. We work in-house across the stack, from file transfer infrastructure to browser-based editors, and apply what we learn to software and infrastructure projects for our clients.
