Operating principles

We work on every project armed with a proven methodology

They say software is eating the world...

We say it can still be tamed. With years of experience dealing with the creature, Senticore can plan and execute projects from conception to reality.

  • It’s often easy to point a finger at what is wrong, but much more difficult to identify the root cause and create a vision for change.
  • Our methodology is founded in the “Capabilities-based planning” framework, closely aligning with project and domain-specific Agile methods.
  • We make sure that your software is designed properly, priced accurately, planned, built, delivered and deployed with the highest quality.

  • In today’s rapidly evolving engineering landscape, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is transforming the industry at an unprecedented pace. Companies that fail to adapt quickly risk being left behind. We can help you ride the wave of innovation and stay ahead of the competition.

  • DevSecOps best practices can revolutionize your engineering systems operations, driving efficiency and positively impacting your bottom line. While DevOps emphasizes speed and agility, DevSecOps seamlessly integrates security at every stage of the software development life cycle.

  • We combine deep expertise in both the engineering domain and DevSecOps to help you navigate these transformative times with confidence. Our comprehensive services include sophisticated CI/CD pipelines, hardened containers, automated testing, code security, and ITAR compliance processes.

  • In today’s complex business environment, companies often acquire or develop many systems, such as PLM, ERP, MES, supplier integrations, and various analytical and reporting tools. Such systems can either be isolated in dreaded data silos or be seamlessly integrated to ensure efficient information sharing.

  • Integrations can be achieved through direct bridges between systems or by implementing an Enterprise Service Bus framework. A well-designed ESB provides substantial long-term benefits, including enhanced scalability, improved security, and reduced maintenance costs.

  • We excel in implementing Enterprise Service Bus technologies, seamlessly connecting all components of the engineering and manufacturing ecosystem. Our expertise ensures that your systems work together efficiently, enhancing productivity and driving innovation in a truly sustainable manner.

  • A slow software system frustrates users, disrupts business processes, and directly impacts the bottom line. Great application performance often outweighs the value of numerous features. Our expertise in performance and scalability is built on a deep understanding of every layer of the application stack: databases, application servers, clients, and networking.

  • When addressing performance concerns, we meticulously analyze each component and the data flows between them, leaving no stone unturned. Our comprehensive approach ensures that we identify the root cause of any issue and provide immediate solutions. If necessary, we also facilitate detailed communication with vendors to implement necessary changes. Trust Senticore to optimize your application performance and keep your business running smoothly.

Case study

Cloud-based portal for collaboration with suppliers

Business Challenge

A major industrial OEM experienced cost and security issues in its supplier bid management process

  • A separate named license was required for each vendor. Since number of vendors varied over time, the license cost was escalating.
  • Vendors were allowed certain access to the PLM system located inside firewall.

Senticore approach

Implementing an AWS-based supplier collaboration portal in combination with PLM proxy system

  • Separating supplier data exchange from the PLM system
  • PLM system was connected to the supplier data exchange portal via a custom secure proxy server
  • AWS based supplier portal used S3 and other features to guarantee highly scalable and secure access for vendors

Outcome

Major reduction in costs combined with improved company security posture

  • Security and compliance concerns were entirely eliminated
  • Licensing costs were brought to a predictable low value

Case study

Comprehensive DevSecOps for Product LifeCycle Management

Business Challenge

A major OEM’s engineering environment operations were regularly hindered by legacy practices

  • Engineering applications heavy footprint was making every change very expensive to implement
  • Application UI required a lot of manual testing; still a lot of bugs were falling through the cracks
  • Collaboration between various teams was complicated, causing delays and cost overruns

Senticore approach

Use modern CI/CD methods, including pipelines, containers, automated testing and code scanning

  • Fitting a fully-functional PLM environment into Docker containers
  • Selenium for automating smoke and regression testing, with log analysis and video recording
  • Azure DevOps, Maven and Ansible for automating the processes

Outcome

Direct positive impact on the company bottom line

  • Collaboration between various stakeholders became significantly more efficient and transparent
  • Operations of the engineering environment started moving at the pace of relevance
  • Overall, better quality, faster deployment and reduced costs allowed engineering systems to support business much better
