Quote
Aedista didn't just advise, they built the system alongside us. They understood our operations, made the complex parts simple, and delivered something our teams actually use every day. The result was immediate and, more importantly, built to last.

Frequently asked questions

Two colleagues in conversation across a sunlit table, one listening while the other explains
What types of custom software does Aedista build?
Aedista builds enterprise web applications, mobile apps for iOS and Android, SaaS platforms with multi-tenant architecture, API layers and integration middleware, cloud-native solutions, and internal business tools. With over 3,000 projects delivered across 25+ years, the team handles everything from ground-up platforms like TOOTRiS to long-term partnerships like Click2Mail spanning 10+ years.
What technology stack does Aedista use for custom development?
Aedista works across a full-stack technology portfolio including .NET Core, Java, Node.js, and Python on the backend; React, Angular, Next.js, Vue.js, and TypeScript on the frontend; Swift and Kotlin for native mobile plus React Native for cross-platform; and Azure, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and Terraform for infrastructure and DevOps.
How long does it take to build a custom application?
Timelines vary by complexity. A focused MVP or internal tool typically takes 3 to 4 months. Mid-complexity enterprise applications with integrations generally require 6 to 9 months. Large-scale platforms like multi-tenant SaaS products or multi-platform systems can take 12 months or more, often with phased releases delivering value at each milestone.
What engagement models does Aedista offer for custom projects?
Aedista offers three engagement models: Fixed Cost for well-defined projects with milestone-based payments, Time and Materials for complex evolving projects where scope may shift during development, and Dedicated Team where developers work as an extension of the client's own team with full control over priorities.
What is the typical cost range for custom software development?
Custom software projects at Aedista typically range from $150,000 for focused applications to $1 million or more for enterprise-scale platforms. The US-based consulting team paired with a 300+ person engineering center in India provides enterprise-grade delivery at cost-effective rates. Flexible engagement models including fixed cost, time and materials, and dedicated team arrangements allow budgets to match project needs.
How is Aedista different from typical software development agencies?
Unlike typical agencies, Aedista assigns TOGAF-certified senior architects to every project from discovery through deployment, not just junior developers. The firm has 25+ years of enterprise experience with 3,000+ projects completed, builds long-term partnerships lasting a decade or more, and combines US-based consulting with a 300+ person global delivery center for enterprise-grade communication with cost-effective execution.
