How we work together:
Software development phases

In Kipinä, the software development phases are built around a set of elements and a process that support a rapid feedback and development cycle, with the goal of measurable business benefits.

Software development is no longer driven by a linear model, where steps are built in a chronological process.

Cloud infrastructures and architectures that are resilient to growth.

The strength of our software development is modern cloud infrastructure and solid architecture at the heart of it all. We build scalable and cost-effective Azure, AWS and GCP solutions based on digital services and data, leveraging Terraform and others. When platforms work reliably, decisions are based on up-to-date information and systems are flexible with time and change. We take care of data quality, model lifecycle (MLOps) and accountable practices to ensure that the end result is both impactful and manageable.

Critical back-up systems to trust.

Expertise in regulation, constraints and legislation related to mission-critical systems brings certainty to the most challenging software development projects. We build mission-critical backend solutions in Java Spring Boot, Python or Node, taking into account architecture, security and data protection. We understand industry-specific regulatory and legislative requirements (e.g. finance, health, public sector) to ensure that the system meets standards and remains operationally robust even in exceptional situations.

Continuous feedback and development in a rapid cycle is critical when the goal of software development is to deliver value to the business through digitalisation.

Multidisciplinary expertise covers the whole stack.

In a rapidly changing business environment, software development in a constant feedback loop requires increasingly cross-disciplinary deep skills across different technologies. Our senior developers' skills range from frontend, backend and fullstack development, to mobile applications, cloud and DevOps, CI/CD pipelines and test automation, design and business transformation, data architecture and data engineer and data scientist.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning accelerate development

Artificial intelligence and machine learning offer ever-increasing efficiency and new business opportunities for software development. We use artificial intelligence (AI) to create new services and businesses, to develop software more efficiently and to improve our own operations. Using machine learning (ML) and AI, we will accelerate the building of new features: test automation and quality assurance will become more efficient, recommendation and search features will become more accurate, predictive models will bring better design, and generative capabilities will speed up the production of content and user interfaces and enable new channels.

Senior Tech Leadership - a way of working and an attitude

The software development and digital solutions of the future require special teams and top-level, committed people. Kipinä's way of service - 'Senior Tech Leadership' is at the heart of each of our experts' actions, values and attitudes to take digital development from basic to cutting-edge. Customer success is a shared goal for us.

Planning and preparing digital projects and software development is always a particularly challenging and time-consuming process. Complex entities and solutions requiring strong technical expertise are the source of many headaches, and a sense of uncertainty creeps into the purchasing process. Front- and back-end development, full-stack, mobile, data engineering, cloud and devops development: what all should be taken into account?

At worst, the process is heated up by the worst poison – rush. How to choose the right partner for a digital development project? What external expertise is needed? What will it all cost? We have compiled a list of things for you, as someone preparing for a digital and software development project, that we go through with our clients when preparing each project. Collect them, share them with a friend, or print them as a bulletin board in your break room.

OUR INSIGHTS

"We’ve been working with developers from Kipinä for a little over two years; during that time, they’ve truly made themselves a part of the team — even though they are technically ‘external’ developers.

They bring value not only as technical experts but also as teammates who care about our players as we do, proactively detect and solve problems that transcend their immediate remit of work, and work hard to contribute meaningfully to Supercell’s business. We’re thrilled to continue working with them!"

Frequently asked questions about software development

  •  Software development is the process of designing, implementing and maintaining digital solutions such as online services, mobile applications or business support systems. Good software development combines business needs, user experience and modern technologies to deliver a product that is functional, scalable and easy to use.

  •  The cost of software development depends on the scope of the project, requirements and implementation method. Small application developments can cost from a few thousand euros upwards, while larger software projects can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of euros. The total cost is influenced by factors such as the amount of work, technologies, integrations and maintenance needs.

  •  The hourly rate for software development typically varies between €80 and €150, depending on the skills of the developer, the complexity of the project and the technologies used. At Kipinä Software, pricing is based on transparency and an agreed model according to the client's needs.

  • Agile software development is an agile way of making software in a phased and iterative way. Its core idea is to deliver value to the customer quickly in small increments, testing and continuously improving the solution. Agile emphasizes collaboration, flexibility and transparency.

  • Lean software development is based on Lean thinking, which aims to minimise waste and maximise value for the customer. In practice, this means focusing on the essentials, cutting out unnecessary features and quickly gathering feedback so that the solution truly meets the needs of the users.

  • Scrum is a popular agile software development framework. In Scrum, development work is divided into short periods of time, called sprints (typically 2-4 weeks), during which agreed functionality is implemented. The model allows for rapid response to change, close collaboration and continuous improvement.
