A software house builds applications. SparkFabrik, a cloud native tech company, does that too, and also runs platforms, infrastructure, DevOps and AI, so the product stays solid for years.
A software house designs and builds software: web and mobile applications, management systems, custom platforms. It turns a business need into a digital product that works. The models differ: some build software for the general public, some sell customizable commercial solutions, some build custom software for single companies, some offer SaaS or vertical products as ISVs.
Structured workflows
Transform activities still managed with spreadsheets or fragmented tools into traceable digital workflows that are easier to maintain.
Integrate systems
Connect applications, management systems and existing databases, eliminating manual steps and reducing errors and processing times.
Build portals and platforms
Create a customer portal, an e-commerce site or a B2B platform that improves the user experience and the management of business relationships.
Business-critical digital product
Design and build a software solution that becomes part of the business model and directly supports company growth.
Requirements gathering, feature definition, application architecture design. A modern software house always starts by understanding the context before writing code.
Building web apps, mobile apps, management systems and custom integrations. The core activity of a software house: turning requirements into a working product.
Bug fixes, feature enhancements, performance improvements. A digital product does not end with release: it requires continuous work to remain effective.
Technical support after release to ensure service continuity. The most advanced software houses also offer services on cloud infrastructure, automation, security and AI.
For many projects that is enough. When software is at the heart of the business, the systems to integrate multiply, releases become frequent and you need AI, cloud and advanced security: that is where a traditional software house is no longer enough.
In these cases you need a partner that also looks after platform, infrastructure and security, beyond building a single application.
Before you sign, ask for proof on these points. They apply to us too.
Projects with the client’s name and a page that tells the story, with the numbers where they were measured. Ask to talk to one of the clients.
Who writes the code, with what seniority, and whether the people in the proposal are the same people who then work on the project.
How a change reaches production: automated tests, code review, release pipelines, vulnerability management. Ask to see them on a real project.
Who runs the application in production, with what response times, and how it evolves with what users ask for.
Code, data and infrastructure stay yours: open source technologies, documentation and access to the repositories leave you free to change supplier.
We are a tech company: beyond application development we work on cloud architectures, security, automation and AI. We combine software development, cloud native platforms, DevOps, AI and consulting to build solid digital products that are ready to evolve.
From a new application to modernizing existing ones, all the way to AI in your business processes.
We design and build custom web applications, designed to integrate with your systems, grow over time and offer a solid experience to your users.
From developing AI agents to creating LLM-based solutions, we bring artificial intelligence into processes, services and data.
We analyze the applications and their dependencies, reduce technical debt and complexity, and modernize step by step.
Modern applications orchestrate data, processes and people with AI. AI agents are the next step to automate operational workflows, with the people on the team deciding and answering for the results.
The whitepaper AI agents that transform business processes, among the resources below, collects examples and a method for bringing agentic AI into operational workflows, from the first assessment to production.
Software houses, tech companies, AI, Drupal and open source.
It is a company specializing in the design, development and maintenance of custom software solutions: web applications, mobile apps, management systems, digital platforms and integrations.
Typically: requirements analysis, architecture design, development, testing, maintenance, post-launch support. More advanced companies also offer services on cloud infrastructure, automation, security and AI.
An IT agency may offer more generic services (support, solution reselling, infrastructure consulting). A software house focuses on building custom software. A tech company like SparkFabrik combines both dimensions: custom development and management of the technology ecosystem that supports it.
SparkFabrik is a cloud native tech company, fully remote from the start: with distributed teams we work on complex digital projects for Italian and European organizations. Our headquarters are in Milan.
A tech company develops applications and also designs and runs platforms, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, security, observability and often AI solutions. At SparkFabrik this means following the whole lifecycle of strategic digital products, from development to operations.
AI helps with analysis, testing, writing code and process automation. At SparkFabrik coding assistants and AI agents work inside DevOps and cloud native practices, and key decisions stay with the people on the team.
Drupal is an enterprise Open Source CMS, ideal for complex corporate sites, multilingual portals and institutional platforms. A software house or tech company with strong Drupal expertise, like SparkFabrik, can design and develop scalable, secure sites integrated with other enterprise systems.
Open Source reduces lock-in to a single vendor, allows building on community-proven technologies and facilitates integration and portability. For companies this means more flexibility, transparency and long-term evolution possibilities.
