Enterprise Software That Operates at the Scale You Need

Large scale platforms, ERP integrations and mission critical systems built for complexity and compliance.

What does enterprise software development involve?

Enterprise software development is the design and engineering of large, business critical systems, such as custom platforms, ERP integrations, workflow and regulatory reporting systems, built to an organisation's security, compliance and scale requirements and designed to be run and extended for many years.

Enterprise software has unique demands that consumer and SMB applications do not. It must handle concurrency at scale without data corruption. It must integrate with the patchwork of existing systems every organisation has accumulated. It must satisfy compliance and audit requirements that add complexity at every layer. It must be operable by a team who will maintain it long after the engineers who built it have moved on. And it must remain performant and reliable even as requirements change and data volumes grow tenfold. Off the shelf solutions almost never fit these requirements precisely, and the gap between "almost fits" and "fits" is where significant engineering effort lives.

We specialise in the class of problems that off the shelf software cannot solve and that require bespoke engineering at enterprise quality. We focus on the specific challenges of enterprise scale systems: distributed transaction management, complex role based access control, multitenancy with strong data isolation, regulatory reporting pipelines, event sourced architectures for complete audit trails, and the integration challenges of connecting new systems to existing ERP, HRIS and CRM platforms. Senior engineers lead every build and review every change.

AWLabs is a Sydney based AI and software development company for growing businesses and enterprise. Sister company to All Webbed Up, a separate websites and marketing company.

Why build enterprise software with AWLabs?

Built for Complexity

Enterprise requirements are genuinely complex. We do not simplify problems away, we design systems that handle the full complexity of your domain, including the edge cases, exception flows and regulatory requirements that simplified systems ignore.

Architecture That Puts Compliance First

Controls aligned with APRA and ASIC requirements, PCI DSS, SOC 2, the My Health Records Act and state health records laws are cheaper to build in than to bolt on. We design controls in from the start and work alongside your compliance and audit teams, who assess conformance.

Deep ERP & Platform Integration

Enterprise software rarely operates in isolation. We integrate custom built systems with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, Workday and other enterprise platforms through their supported APIs, not fragile workarounds.

Horizontal Scalability

Enterprise systems must scale with the business. We design stateless services, event driven architectures and cloud native deployment patterns designed so your system can take on much higher load without an architectural redesign.

Comprehensive Documentation

Enterprise systems must be maintainable by teams who did not build them. We produce architecture decision records, data model documentation, API specifications, operational runbooks and deployment guides as integral deliverables, not afterthoughts.

Multitenant Security Architecture

Multitenant SaaS for enterprise clients requires demonstrable, auditable data isolation between tenants. We implement row level security, tenant aware infrastructure and regular security validation so each customer's data is protected and you can prove it.

How do we deliver enterprise software development?

Typical timings; your Schedule of Work sets the real ones.

01
Before the build

Discovery Audit & Strategy Sessions

Enterprise software projects fail most often from unclear or unstated requirements. Every build starts with a Discovery Audit (a fixed fee, credited in full against the build). We talk with the people across the affected business functions and set out the functional, performance, security and compliance requirements and the risks in a written audit. Two strategy sessions follow, and you receive a fixed price Schedule of Work with three options (The Minimum, The Recommended and The Complete) before design begins.

02
Weeks 3 to 5

Architecture Design & Review

We design the system architecture to meet the defined requirements: technology stack selection, component decomposition, data model design, integration architecture, security architecture and infrastructure topology. The architecture is documented and reviewed with your technical leadership and any relevant compliance stakeholders before development begins.

03
Weeks 4 to 6

Proof of Concept on the Riskiest Elements

For any element of the design that carries significant technical risk or uncertainty, complex integration with a legacy system, a performance critical algorithm, an unfamiliar regulatory requirement, we build a timeboxed proof of concept before committing to full implementation. This surfaces risks early when they are cheapest to address.

04
Ongoing

Iterative Development

Sprint length is set for each build. You get an update every Tuesday and Friday, Sydney time, with access to test the latest work. Each stage has a demonstrable output: working software, deployed to a staging environment, tested and accepted by your team. We prioritise the most valuable functionality first so you see working software quickly and can provide feedback that improves the product throughout development rather than only at the end.

05
Parallel with Step 4

Integration Development & Testing

Enterprise systems must integrate reliably with existing platforms. Integration development is a distinct workstream with its own test suite, covering the happy path, error responses, rate limiting, authentication edge cases and schema evolution. We test against real integration environments wherever possible.

06
Final 3 to 4 weeks

Performance, Security & Compliance Testing

Before go live, the system undergoes load testing to validate it meets performance requirements at projected peak load; automated penetration testing to identify security vulnerabilities; and a review of the controls against the requirements your compliance team has set. If you want an independent penetration test by a specialist firm, we will help you arrange it. Issues identified are remediated before production deployment.

07
Launch and 30 day warranty

Deployment, Handover & Support

Production deployment is executed against a detailed runbook with a rollback plan. A 30 day warranty runs from launch: we fix bugs and anything caused by our work at no cost. We train your team on operating and extending the system and hand over the full documentation suite. After that, ongoing support is available through a Care Plan.
