Ncoded Solutions

The bar lowered. The money spent on licences can now build the software. The post in the image is getting a lot of traction recently. I have seen it in many places. I agree with the first part, but not really with the second. Yes, every team can now build some subset of Jira functionality tailored to its own needs much faster. But I am sure they will not need 500 iterations to get there. Those 500 iterations happened because Jira had to satisfy the requirements of thousands of different companies and use cases. A company building software for itself has a much narrower problem to solve. Before AI coding tools, what kept companies from recreating their own internal tools was the economy of scale and the investment needed to build them. It was simply cheaper to pay the subscription and adjust the company to the tool. But the bar has lowered now. Skilled teams can recreate many of the tools they use much faster than they could only a few years ago. This is especially true for large enterprises. Their requirements are higher, but so are their software bills. The money they spend every year on licences can increasingly justify building full in-house solutions that fit their needs exactly. Of course, not for every type of software. Highly regulated or deeply specialised products are a different story. And that is where I see a big opportunity for software development agencies in the current market. Bigger companies can gain more control over their software, adapt software to their processes instead of adapting their processes to software, and potentially save money at the same time. Ncoded Solutions is already helping some of our clients go down this path. If your yearly licence costs are starting to look like a software development budget, reach out.

Why you shouldn’t hire and in-house software engineer and why you should hire an agency instead! AI is changing software engineering faster than most companies are changing their hiring strategies. And there’s an uncomfortable part of this conversation: AI doesn’t make every developer equally productive. It makes great engineers disproportionately better. Put powerful AI coding tools in the hands of an experienced engineer who understands architecture, infrastructure, security, product and business requirements, and their output can increase dramatically. And we still don’t know where this ends. Which raises an important question for companies whose core business isn’t software development: Why take the long-term employment risk of building an internal software team? If you’re a retailer, logistics company, mobility business, manufacturer or another traditional enterprise, you may need excellent software engineers today. But will you need the same number of them three years from now? Nobody knows. Yet when you hire internally, you take that risk. Salaries. Recruitment. Management. Severance. Layoffs. And eventually the possibility that the skill set you hired for simply isn’t what you need anymore. At Ncoded Solutions, that risk is ours. Software engineering is our core business. Our engineers work across different industries, architectures and technical problems, while learning from colleagues working on completely different projects. That knowledge compounds. And if technology changes dramatically? That transformation is our problem to manage, not yours. You still get dedicated engineers and deep product knowledge. You just don’t have to bet that the engineering organization you build today will still make sense five years from now. You focus on your business. We’ll take the engineering risk.

Big milestone for Ncoded Solutions: After 2.5 years of legal procedures and support from law firms around the world, I am thrilled to announce that the Ncoded brand has been registered with trademark offices in the main markets Ncoded Solutions is targeting including the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, the DACH region, and the Benelux region. Of course, the process started with the official registration in Serbia. This means that only Ncoded Solutions DOO, incorporated in Niš (Medijana), Serbia, is officially authorized to use the Ncoded brand and logo in all of these markets. P.S. None of this would have been possible without the immense help of attorney Bojan Šunderić, who prepared and led the initiative. Thank you, Bojan, for all your help.

Yesterday we hosted our second 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 at Ncoded, and it was exactly the break from routine we all needed! From 𝗝𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮, 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀 and 𝗨𝗡𝗢 to 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and a couple of intense beer pong rounds, it was a day full of laughter, teamwork and friendly competition. Game Day is slowly turning into a tradition we love. Looking forward to the next one! 🎲✨ #BoardGameDay #Team #FunAtWork #Memecoded #HappyFriday #Teamwork #NcodedSolutions

We make your software engineering risk free! For years, Ncoded Solutions’ main motto was “We engineer your problems away”, coined by our COO Veljko Stamenkovic. I always liked it because it emphasized that we see ourselves as engineers first, and software developers second. It also perfectly captured how we understood the software engineering market: someone has a pain or a problem, and we design and implement a solution to make that pain go away. But over the last six years of running our agency, I’ve learned that more often than not, our clients already know what they need. They don’t expect us to invent a solution from scratch. What they need is for us to engineer the solution they already have in mind and make it real. And above all, they need it to be risk free. So, what does risk free mean in this context? It means that the solution actually works. Not just lines of code that spend the budget while the platform never reaches production. We live by one critical rule: we always take the product to production, no matter what. Even if it costs us more time or money than estimated and we lose in the process, we ensure the end result delivers value to our clients. That way, they can focus on scaling their business while we take care of the product. Many of our clients started out cautious, uncertain of what to expect. Once they saw that our process is stable, transparent, and risk free, those initial projects evolved into long-term partnerships built on trust, support, and mutual growth. At Ncoded Solutions, we don’t just write code, we deliver outcomes. If you’re ready to turn your vision into a reliable, production-ready product, let’s talk. Together, we’ll make your software engineering risk free. #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #productdevelopment #digitaltransformation #customsoftware #productengineering #techsolutions #scalableproducts #riskfreedelivery #ncodedsolutions
