Diagnose
Understand the system, workflow, risk and commercial decision before committing to a large programme.
Software development services
Senior software development, shaped around the problem
From a focused discovery to hands-on delivery, Domville Tech helps organisations make sound decisions and improve important software without unnecessary theatre.
Diagnose · Remediate · Protect
Match the engagement to the problem
Start with evidence, implement the changes that matter and retain senior continuity where the system needs it.
Remediate
Stabilise delivery, remove material constraints and build a supportable route forward.
Protect
Use operating evidence, agreed capacity and senior judgement to prevent another expensive recovery.
Focused ways to begin
Defined engagements. Decision-ready outcomes.
Start with a bounded piece of work, a clear deliverable and a known starting price before deciding whether a larger programme is justified.

Remediation services
Focused help when important technology is not working
Each service starts from an identifiable operational or delivery problem and can progress from assessment into hands-on implementation.
Application modernisation
Improve established .NET, SQL Server and Azure applications without assuming a wholesale rewrite.

Technical discovery
Find the right route before funding the journey
When the problem is unclear, committing to a solution too early creates expensive momentum in the wrong direction. A short, evidence-led discovery gets underneath the architecture, operational needs and delivery constraints.
Typical outcomes
- Current-state technical assessment
- Risk and dependency map
- Prioritised options with trade-offs
- Practical delivery roadmap and indicative investment
02
Modernisation & rescue
Improve critical Microsoft systems without reckless rewrites
Established software often carries years of business knowledge. The aim is to reduce risk and improve the parts that hold the organisation back, while keeping operations moving.
Typical outcomes
- Stabilised services and clearer failure modes
- Incremental architecture and code improvements
- Safer deployment and automated testing
- A realistic path away from costly constraints

03
Azure engineering
Cloud solutions designed for the organisation that must run them
Good Azure delivery is more than moving workloads. Architecture, security, observability, cost and team capability need to work together from the beginning.
Typical outcomes
- Azure solution and integration architecture
- Application migration or cloud-native delivery
- Monitoring, diagnostics and deployment improvements
- Documentation and knowledge transfer
04
AI consulting, training & development
Move from AI interest to a useful business solution
Domville Tech helps organisations understand where AI could create value, prepare the people who will use it and build dependable solutions that integrate with existing software.
Typical outcomes
- Prioritised use cases and an AI readiness assessment
- Practical team training using real business workflows
- A working proof of value with appropriate controls
- Production AI automation integrated with established systems

05
Fractional technology leadership
Add experienced direction without a permanent hire
Complex programmes sometimes need an independent senior technologist who can understand the detail, communicate with decision-makers and help a team deliver.
Typical outcomes
- Technology and AI roadmap ownership
- Architecture and delivery assurance
- Independent supplier and proposal review
- Clear technical decisions for business leaders
06
Application support & improvement
Protect delivery gains with defined senior capacity
Operational evidence, planned improvements and clear ownership help prevent small issues becoming another expensive recovery programme.
Typical outcomes
- Regular application and database health review
- Prioritised fixes and incremental improvements
- Technical roadmap and architecture guidance
- Knowledge continuity and visible service boundaries

Match the commitment to the certainty
Paid discovery
Use a small, defined engagement when the real work or risk is not yet understood.
Time and materials
Use flexible, transparent delivery where learning will change the priorities.
Fixed scope
Use a fixed price only when discovery has made the outcome and boundaries genuinely clear.
