Two ways to start. One process to build.
Whether you’re looking to improve how your business operates or discover new opportunities for growth, Magic Assembly helps you determine what’s worth building. Each path starts differently, but both lead to the same development process.
Run Your Business
Usually starts with the Software Ownership Assessment. It weighs your software costs, workarounds and fit, then returns one of four outcomes: keep renting, optimize what you have, investigate ownership, or not enough information.
Grow Your Business
Starts with the Software Opportunity Generator, or with a direct conversation about an application, service or revenue opportunity you have in mind.
From the first conversation to the final handoff.
- 01
Discover and evaluate
We learn how your business works, what you’re trying to accomplish, and whether custom software makes financial and operational sense.
For Run Your Business projects, the Software Ownership Assessment may be the starting point. For Grow Your Business projects, we explore the customer-facing opportunity and the business case.
- 02
Define the solution and budget
We agree on what the application should do, what it will integrate with, how data will be handled, and what successful delivery looks like.
We provide a written scope, estimate, and approved budget.
- 03
Build and test
We use AI-assisted development to build the application, while managing requirements, testing workflows, reviewing security findings, and validating the results.
- 04
Migrate and validate, when needed
If the project replaces existing software, we plan the data transfer, test it, reconcile important records, and confirm readiness before cutover.
Not every project requires migration.
- 05
Transfer and train
We transfer the application into your workspace, complete the necessary configuration and operational checks, and train you to manage and evolve it.
- 06
Support when you need us
You can manage the application independently or engage Magic Assembly for future changes. No mandatory maintenance relationship.
Built for you. Handed over to you.
When the application is ready, we help move it into your own managed workspace, including its source code, database, and configuration.
We verify the handoff, help reconnect integrations and scheduled tasks, and teach you how to make changes using the same development platform.
You don’t have to call us every time you want to improve your software.
Security is part of the build.
Our managed development platform provides infrastructure protections such as isolated application databases, encrypted storage, secure connections, and authentication capabilities.
We also evaluate application-specific requirements, test access controls, and review automated security assessments to identify vulnerabilities that need attention.
For sensitive information or more demanding security requirements, we may recommend independent expertise.
