OUR PROCESS
CKD’s strength lies in its ability to develop relationships with clients that go beyond simply creating a product. By working to understanding a client’s mission as well as its technology context, CKD is able to create frameworks for both outstanding products and lasting relationships that are dedicated to a client’s long-term success. We build great software, but we build great businesses, too.
STEP 1
Project
Exploration
Thanks to our experienced and capable cross-functional teams, CKD can offer innovation across multiple industries, including healthcare, e-commerce, and nonprofit sectors. Our dynamic team of strategists, designers, and programmers know that in order to create impactful and transformative technology solutions you’ll probably end up with a few detours on your tech roadmap. And so, as an essential first step to every job, we collaborate with every client to explore their project from all angles to ensure that we are working on the right solution for the right puzzle.
STEP 2
Strategic
Blueprint
By digging deep into a project’s purpose, we determine the smartest steps forward. Our team is lean, but we attract the very best designers and programmers, well-trained and well-versed in the latest advancements in technology — from responsive programming to reactive systems, front-end and back-end development, and everything in between. We create a dynamic plan of action, ever aware that our best work is often about process and exploration.
STEP 3
Collaborative
Build
CKD builds innovative pathways using Design Think methodologies, which help to simplify and humanize complex systems. And with expertise in emerging tools such as IoT, blockchain, and AI, we can consider the unexplored possibilities to ultimately reach the best possible—and possibly unexpected—outcome. Throughout the build we strive for open communication with our clients, and involve them in all developmental decisions. Regular contact keeps everyone motivated and keeps the project moving forward.
STEP 4
Launch
& Evolve
CKD provides client support through all phases of a project, even when the project is “done.” We provide the training necessary to ensure a successful product launch. And as a company and it's needs evolve we provide the product support and development to keep the product relevant and keep our client at pace with their progressive technology.
