Our mission is to empower our clients to achieve business success by leveraging effective technology and management solutions.
Our mission is to empower our clients to achieve business success by leveraging effective technology and management solutions.
We design, build, install, test, maintain, and consult on the best ways to achieve leveraged technological success through effective software design. Put simply, software is a tool that is capable of multiplying the positive results your organizations are able to achieve. Our goal from the beginning is to achieve greater efficiencies and deeper impacts on all levels through merging the strengths of human and machine interactions. We use many tools to achieve our stated objectives among these are multiple code bases and development languages, database design and administration, and useful APIs.
TECHNOLOGY |
IMPACT |
---|---|
Custom build server which deploys all developer branches in sandboxed environments | Stakeholders can preview pull requests as they would appear in production without interfering with the production environment. This saved developers so much time that they could stop working weekends. More on Development Team Empowerment |
Custom high-performance ETL process which moves data between two different database solutions | Initial load of several TB finishes in hours and system keeps a history of all changes so that replays can restart from any point in time. This made the system robust to one-time failures. More on Lossless Data Migration |
Custom logic for financial trading algorithm | This software enables the client to trade on the stock market in an automated fashion, and forms the core of the client's IP. More on Automated Trading Systems |
Despite having many highly skilled personnel, Customer #1
began to fall behind on projected timelines as additional
development expectations began to accrue. Our customer
believed that expectations could not be met by the existing teams.
The CTO had worked with Cooper Technologies previously and had
great confidence in the consulting services offered by Cooper.
Because of this, Cooper Technologies was invited to analyze their
overall development structure and offer suggestions with the end
goal of either hiring the missing talent or reorganizing and
managing the teams in order to meet timelines. Very quickly
Cooper noticed that the existing build system made code reviews
difficult and impractical to implement. As a consequence, this
was an environment where unproven components were being
implemented before they had been fully tested. Far too
frequently, these unproven components were not working
properly and they would bog down the entire system or
cause system-wide crashes. Overall, the existing build
system was hampering development as everyone was continually
required to search for and fix bugs caused by implementing
unproven updates.
Upon implementation, our customer’s engineering teams’ hours
were immediately reduced, development increased and caught up
to the timeline. Eventually 50% of personnel were available
for reallocation to other projects, and the customer saved
valuable time and money.
The impact of these changes is much more far-reaching than just
the immediate cost savings. Our customer’s engineers are happier
with their work environment as they are able to enjoy a normal
work schedule with weekends off and the CTO is again able to
tackle new projects and know his business is functioning optimally,
deadlines are being met, but most importantly his customers are
also happy.

Customer #2 had been struggling for months to get their data
migration system to work at a very basic level, let alone to
work with all of the desired functionality they had originally
envisioned. Their data supplier provided the data in one format,
and our customer needed to migrate to another database system
while keeping logs of recent updates.
Cooper Technologies was asked to find out why the existing data
migration system was not working and advise on a recommended
course of action moving forward. We quickly built and implemented
a new and highly performant data migration system which functioned
by compressing data and using multi-stage dumps which examined the
database for changes and then logged and updated accordingly. The
new data migration system allows our customer to migrate data
seamlessly while updating the data at high frequencies which is
vital to their near real-time data applications. This customer
had no idea such a robust system could be built out and
functioning so quickly. Cooper Technologies is happy to be
considered the technology solution contractor of choice for
Customer #2.

Customer #3, a financial technology company, wanted to have a
a system which would allow them to trade their algorithms on
the stock market. The software had to be built to specific
performance specifications. An opportunity arose to allow them
to be profitable if it could be completed and functioning within
two weeks of the development start date.
Cooper Technologies completed the software in time for
deployment. This software was key to enabling their trades
to be executed in an autonomous manner. To date, this software
is a key component of their IP.

I know you work on a lot more intensive projects but this was a great example of how fast you work and the extra thought you put into the projects you touch.
Chief Technology Officer
They did a phenomenal job of understanding requirements and executing on those requirements.
Data Team Engineering Lead
Cooper Technologies exceeded my expectations in terms of time-to-completion as well as performance and accuracy of the code they produced.

This step is crucial for us to understand your desired outcomes and help you generate technical specifications and designs for your product. Otherwise, this step is optional if you already have technical specifications and designs for the product to send us.
More on Phase IMany tech-oriented companies still outsource portions of software development that are not part of their core competency. If this sounds like you, you could consider starting here because you’d know exactly what you want out of a product and will already have the in-house knowledge to understand how the software works by reading the documentation provided. Otherwise, this is the second step in the journey to making technology work for you.
More on Phase IIIf your staff isn’t comprised entirely of technical experts, we will also take the opportunity to collect (updated) org charts and initiate discussion surrounding training deployment media and schedules.
More on Phase IIIThis step is optional if you already have technical specifications and designs for the product to send us. Otherwise, this step is crucial for us to understand your desired outcomes and help you generate technical specifications and designs for your product.

We highly recommend this if your staff isn’t comprised entirely of technical experts. Ideally, we would already have a fairly accurate idea of the number of users in your organization from designing the product, so being able to jump right in and draw up a rough quote should be a very smooth process.
