What is the NextAge Software Factory?

The NextAge Software Factory is a model in which we take responsibility for delivery. You define the business goal and a complete NextAge team handles the entire cycle: discovery, architecture, design, development, testing, deployment and system evolution.

Unlike staff augmentation, you don't need to manage developers. You follow deliveries, metrics and results.

Results we deliver

Companies that invested in digital transformation and reached new levels of performance with NextAge

Customer value management with AI agents

Brazilian telecommunications carrier with 67 million customers.

Challenge

In the telecom sector, acquiring new customers is more expensive than retaining them. The company couldn't scale its operation with manual marketing campaigns, no real-time data, reaching customers at the wrong point in their journey. This drove high costs.

Solution

NextAge turned data into relationships. We built a platform with AI agents that run personalized campaigns and journeys based on each customer's profile. It combines discounts, cross-selling and cashback, all integrated to maximize the value generated.

How does a software factory project work, step by step?

We build along a 5-stage timeline

  1. Discovery

    We map goals, users, processes, integrations and risks before development starts. The result is a clear scope, a prioritized backlog and a realistic estimate of timeline and investment.

  2. Architecture
    and design

    We define the stack, architecture, data model and clickable prototypes. You validate the experience before development.

  3. Development
    in sprints

    Deliveries every 2 weeks, with a demo of what was built. You follow progress in real time and can adjust priorities.

  4. Validated
    quality

    Dedicated QA, automated tests and AI-assisted code review in every delivery.

  5. Deployment
    and support

    We put the system into production with monitoring and documentation. Afterwards, Application Managed Services ensures fixes, improvements and continuous evolution.

Once the proposal is approved, the team usually starts immediately or within a few days.

Do you take over existing systems?
Yes. We run a technical assessment of the current system and can take over its support, evolve it or plan its modernization.

Does my company own the code?
Yes. Intellectual property, source code and documentation belong to the client, as set out in the contract.

How do I follow the project's progress?
Through deliveries every two weeks, review meetings, access to the project board and a dedicated point of contact.

Do you work with companies outside Curitiba?
Yes. We serve companies across Brazil and in 13 other countries, with remote teams.

We choose the stack based on the project. We work with Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, PHP, Angular, React, Vue.js, TypeScript, Flutter and more.
