Custom Software Development
70% of the software used by Fortune 500 companies was developed more than 20 years ago (McKinsey, based on TechRadar 2023). Technical debt represents between 20% and 40% of the value of the enterprise technology estate and consumes between 10% and 20% of the IT budget allocated to new products (McKinsey Digital). In banking, Accenture estimates that up to 70% of the IT budget is spent maintaining legacy systems.
We develop enterprise mobile applications, integrations with legacy systems, and process automations designed to reduce that structural burden.
Problems We Solve
Core mainframe or monolithic systems that block innovation
Decades-old platforms with incomplete documentation and knowledge concentrated in staff nearing retirement. McKinsey reports that modernization assisted by generative AI reduces the cost of these projects to less than half of what they required three years ago.
Broken integrations between ERP, CRM, e-commerce platforms, and mobile applications
Duplicated data, manual reconciliations, delays in financial close. We build API- and event-based integration layers that eliminate manual synchronization.
Mobile applications for field force, dealers, or stores with insufficient performance
Slow load times, data loss in low-connectivity zones, inconsistent experiences across iOS and Android. We design native or cross-platform applications with offline synchronization and modular architecture.
High-volume manual processes without end-to-end automation
Data capture, validations, approval routing, regulatory report generation. Automation through coded workflows and, where applicable, AI agents, reduces errors and cycle time.
Dependence on packaged software that does not fit the operation
Business logic limitations, costly customizations, escalating licensing fees. Total cost of ownership analysis over 3-5 years frequently favors custom development when the software is central to operations.
Security vulnerabilities in legacy systems
The Ponemon Institute study documents that 92% of companies with outdated systems experienced a security breach in the past year, compared to 68% at companies using modern technology.
Time-to-market for new digital products exceeding 12 months
IDC reports that enterprises that proactively reduce technical debt achieve a 20% to 30% faster time-to-market on digital initiatives.
Inability to incorporate AI due to unfit architecture
Batch systems and siloed databases do not support millisecond-latency data access or continuous model training. Modernization is a prerequisite for any serious AI strategy.
Why Hire Baker Agentics
Structured technical debt diagnostic with financial quantification. We inventory systems, dependencies, and risks, and translate the output into a prioritized roadmap with investment and return estimates by phase.
Delivery in 2-4 week iterations with verifiable working product. Each iteration has bounded scope, acceptance criteria, and validation with real users.
Bilingual team with documented experience at corporate clients: Heineken, FEMSA, Michelin, and OXXO, on mobile application projects, B2B integrations, and process automation.
Cost 40% to 60% lower than global firms for equivalent deliverables, with measurable SLAs and contractual commitments.
Modern and vendor-agnostic technology stack: .NET, Java, Python, Node.js, React Native, Flutter, Kubernetes, and managed services on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Selection is justified by the business case.
Intellectual property of code transferred to the client. No vendor lock-in, no hidden licensing, with full documentation.
