From idea to production and beyond

We plan it, design it, build it with an AI-first approach, and then run it as part of your managed IT.

1

Product Strategy & Roadmapping

We start with the business outcome: revenue, cost, time saved. Then we work backward to a roadmap that ships the highest-value pieces first. No 40-page spec before you see anything working.

  • Discovery & requirements
  • Product roadmaps & budgets
  • Prototyping & validation
  • Project management

2

AI Agents & Automation

Agents, copilots and workflow automation designed and deployed alongside the people who do the work, on Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or a model of your choosing, with security and data governance built in.

  • AI strategy & readiness
  • Agents & copilots
  • Workflow & process automation
  • Data pipelines & integration

3

Custom Software & App Development

We plan, build and maintain the systems your business runs on. Execution is the reputation: code that ships, holds up in production and hands off clean.

  • Web & mobile applications
  • Full-stack engineering
  • API & system integrations
  • QA testing & DevOps

4

UX/UI Design & Research

We get to know your customers and end users, then design clean, modern interfaces people actually enjoy using, validated with real users before a line of production code is written.

  • UI/UX design
  • Design systems
  • User research & testing
  • Ideation & prototyping

Five steps from whiteboard to working software

Small, reversible increments. You see something working in weeks, not quarters, and every step is measured against the business goal we agreed on at the start.

1

Discover

We map the workflow, the users and the numbers behind it, then define what “done” looks like.

2

Design

Clickable prototypes and a lean roadmap, validated with the people who will use it every day.

3

Build

AI-first engineering in short sprints, with security, QA and documentation baked in from day one.

4

Launch

Cloud setup, integrations, data migration and training. A clean handoff to your team, or to ours.

5

Run & improve

Monitoring, patching, support and a roadmap of improvements as part of your managed IT.

We build software we run ourselves

The Red Key App dashboard – built by Red Key Solutions

The client portal every Red Key customer runs on

Health, security and efficiency scores, tickets, proposals, projects, IT plans, Microsoft 365 licensing and budgets, all in one place on every device. Designed, built and operated by the same team that will build for you.

  • 8 modules, from live asset inventory to three-year budget forecasts
  • Deep integrations with the tools an IT department already uses
  • Shipped in increments and improved every month, in production

The roles on your build team

Every project is staffed with the specialists it needs, from the first strategy session through launch and ongoing support. One accountable team, no hand-offs between vendors.

App Strategy

Defines the business outcome, the roadmap and what to build first so every sprint moves a real number.

Project Management

Owns the schedule, budget and communication, so you always know what shipped, what is next and what it costs.

Business Analyst

Turns how your team actually works into clear requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria.

Full Stack Development

Builds the interfaces, APIs and data layers, and writes code that ships, holds up in production and hands off clean.

AI Development

Designs and deploys agents, copilots and automations grounded in your data, with guardrails and governance built in.

QA Automation

Automated test suites and release checks that catch regressions before your users do.

Cloud Architecture

Designs the Azure hosting, identity, secrets and CI/CD pipeline so the app is secure, scalable and cost-aware from day one.

App Security

Reviews code, dependencies and configuration against HIPAA, SOC 2 and financial standards, with pen testing before launch.

Beyond app development

End-to-end ownership

Strategy, design, engineering, hosting, security and support: one accountable team from the first whiteboard to year five in production. No hand-offs between vendors.

Technology agnostic, strategic in execution

Established stack or blank page, we integrate with what you have and pick the tools that fit the goal. Microsoft-first where it makes sense, never dogmatic.

Security & compliance built in

Our cybersecurity practice reviews every build. We work daily in HIPAA, financial-services and legal environments, so data protection is a default, not an add-on.

AI-first engineering

We use AI to move faster and build AI into what you get: agents, copilots and automation designed around how your team actually works.

We support what we ship

Our helpdesk has supported business software for more than two decades. That experience shapes what we build, and the same team stands behind it after launch.

Local and accountable

Based in White Plains, serving New York City, Westchester, Connecticut and nationwide since 2002. Meet the people building your product in person.

We’ll help you navigate SOC 2 compliance

Building software that handles customer data means your buyers will ask for SOC 2, HIPAA or PCI. We design the controls into the architecture from day one, run the security program alongside your build, and get you audit-ready without slowing the roadmap down.

Explore compliance management

Controls built in

Identity, encryption, logging and access reviews designed into the app and the cloud it runs on.

Policies & evidence

Written policies, automated evidence collection and a single place your auditor can review.

Vendor & risk management

Risk assessments, vendor reviews and the people controls that frameworks expect.

Audit readiness

Gap assessment, remediation plan and support through the Type 1 and Type 2 audit.
