Compose solutions from proven technologies
Radial Theory creates solutions for our clients – we don’t re-invent software to address commonly understood and previously solved problems. By leveraging established and well-tried patterns, languages and frameworks to address the ‘block and tackle’ aspects of our work, we free time and resources to focus on our clients highest value: invention and innovation that realizes their goals.
Orchestrate loosely coupled systems
We believe that complex systems need to evolve according to natural priorities, and respond to emerging needs. To achieve this, we adhere to design principles that limit dependencies, whether they be hard-wired integrations, closed compiled executables or proprietary protocols. By embracing standards-based messaging systems and protocols, we implement solutions that are inherently open and conducive to agility.
Wrap proprietary technologies in open standards
We recognize that there is no true ‘green field’ when it comes to implementing software systems – the pragmatic reality is that incumbent legacy and proprietary third party subsystems will be part of any solution of reasonable scale. Integrating with these systems can pose unique and specific challenges, but in every case our designs encapsulate these integrations in open standards and APIs, allowing these resources to form reusable and extensible building blocks as our solutions evolve.
Leverage and contribute to open source technologies
We believe that open sourcing software benefits everyone who uses technology. It allows Radial Theory to ‘stand on the shoulders of giants’ and also give back to the software engineering community. By embracing thriving open source initiatives, we have the community at our collective backs as we solve problems, hone and tune proven code, address security and privacy issues as they emerge, and arm our clients with the knowledge and skills they need to take the solutions we create together forward in support of their businesses.
