Disrupt nothing, change everything

Businesses are successful because of their uniqueness, whether it’s in their product, services or structure. Our bespoke approach enables businesses to capitalise on these individual properties, operating with software tailor-made in collaboration to fit them perfectly.

And that’s why we seek to understand your organisation as deeply as possible, to accelerate your software needs and ensure day-to-day operations remain at the highest level.

The Advantage gap

Explore a better way of developing software. In-house or outsourced bespoke software development and off-the-shelf purchases have issues that leave a sizable chasm of advantage, which is why we operate to close that Advantage Gap – finding the sweet spot of collaborative expertise where we can build tailored solutions in sync with your organisation.

About CID

The greatest rewards lie on the other side of the hardest problems.

CID was founded in 1997 to solve the biggest software challenges of the day. It’s why some of Europe’s and America’s biggest enterprises count us as a partner and consultant for their toughest problems and critical initiatives.

Whether it’s transforming processes, establishing a modern data stack with AI, and hosting an enterprise tech stack in the cloud, we always use the most appropriate technology and best practices to get results that last.

We like hard problems. That hasn’t changed (and never will).
