Basic software prototypes can save time and resources, but are not usually production-ready without further planning and adaptation. In focusing on speedy proof of concept, developers may skip over key considerations such as testing, security, performance, scalability, and maintainability. Steelcut Software excels at filling in these gaps. Our streamlined processes, based on years of experience and dedication to continuous improvement, reduce the cost of adapting prototypes for production.
Steelcut’s prototype-to-production efforts include:
Steelcut Software’s dedication to service and maintaining relationships ensures a focus on going the distance with our partners. Essential services include:
Production-grade Machine Learning models impose more requirements than experimental and evaluation models. Steelcut Software performs focused data science and engineering while maintaining real-life production goals.
Our Artificial Intelligence solutions:
Automation is critical to minimize regression issues and ensure reliable, repeatable delivery. Automation touches all areas of the production software landscape, including security, machine learning experiments and model creation, and software development, delivery, and operations.
Steelcut Software has 20 years' experience in planning and implementing automation of the following processes:
Steelcut Software has extensive knowledge of the cybersecurity requirements that DoD contractors must satisfy for the DFAR. Steelcut Software is compliant with NIST Special Publication 800-171: Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations.
Steelcut Software also has experience creating, deploying, and maintaining systems that operate in environments meeting DoD Cyber Exchange STIGs and SP 800-171 standards. In such systems, Steelcut takes an active role, even identifying and adopting best practices beyond base requirements, where practical. Examples include:
To reduce the cost of maintaining a defensive security posture, Steelcut Software applies the most advanced tools available. Steelcut automates processes where possible, such as:
Ray has been developing advanced software as a government contractor for more than 20 years. His lengthy experience on such programs has given him a solid understanding of the DoD's contracting requirements and processes.
