Vicedomini Softworks

Our services

Independent consulting and software built to last.

We are a boutique software house and technology consultancy. No sales team, no account managers: you talk directly with the engineers who design and write your code — from the first call to deployment, and long after.

How we work

Zero conflicts of interest

No partnership agreements with technology vendors. Our business depends on the quality of our advice, not on the products we recommend.

A written deliverable, not just a chat

Every engagement ends with a document: diagnosis, recommendations, action plan. Something you can share with your team and reread a year from now.

A limited number of projects

We take on a small number of engagements per quarter. We don't spread across twenty clients: every project gets full attention.

EMEA and North America

We work in Italian, English and French with clients across Europe and North America. Time zone and jurisdiction are not a barrier.

What we can do together

01

Custom software development

We design and build web applications, APIs and distributed systems. From analysis through production release, with an obsessive focus on code quality, automated testing and long-term maintainability.

  • Multi-tenant SaaS platforms
  • REST and GraphQL APIs, integrations
  • Accessible web apps (WCAG 2.2 AA)
  • Progressive migrations and rewrites

02

Architecture & technology stack

We analyse your system and goals to identify bottlenecks, scalability risks, and choose the languages, frameworks and infrastructure that fit your case — without chasing trends or vendor bias.

  • Architectural assessment
  • Stack and cloud provider selection
  • Distributed systems design
  • Scalability strategies

03

CTO as a Service

Need senior technical leadership without hiring a full-time CTO? We work alongside your team on a retainer basis: strategic decisions, code reviews, technical hiring, product roadmap.

  • Part-time strategic guidance
  • Code review and team mentoring
  • Support with technical hiring
  • Board and investor interaction

04

Code audit & technical debt

We assess the quality of your existing codebase, estimate accumulated technical debt, and define a remediation plan that frees up development capacity without stopping the product roadmap.

  • Code and security audit
  • Quantitative technical-debt estimate
  • Prioritised remediation plan
  • Quality and observability metrics

05

AI & automation

LLM integrations, autonomous agents, RAG pipelines and automations that remove repetitive work. Pragmatic approach: GenAI where it earns its place, never as a slogan.

  • Conversational assistants and agents
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • End-to-end process automation
  • Model evaluation and monitoring

06

Staff augmentation & partnership

Senior engineers embedded in your team for defined periods, with the same care we bring to internal projects. Ideal for accelerating critical releases or filling specialist skill gaps.

  • Senior engineers embedded in the team
  • Quarterly or annual contracts
  • Documented handover
  • Continuity after the engagement ends

How we proceed

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Understanding your context, business goals and specific technical challenges. No pre-packaged answers: we start from your real situation.

  2. 02

    Analysis

    Deep review of the system, codebase or roadmap. We deliver a clear diagnosis with prioritised findings and estimated impact.

  3. 03

    Recommendations

    A concrete action plan: what to do now, what to plan, what to avoid. We deliver a written document — not just a call.

  4. 04

    Execution & support

    We stay available during execution: questions, reviews, course corrections. The engagement doesn't end when the document ships.

When we're the right fit

We work well together when…

  • You're making an architectural decision that will matter for years
  • You need an opinion independent of conflicts of interest
  • Your team needs senior technical leadership part-time
  • You want a written diagnosis, not just a conversation

We're not the right fit if…

  • You want someone who executes without asking questions
  • You've already decided and just want validation
  • The project is still an idea without a budget
  • You want the cheapest vendor on the market

Frequently asked questions

How much does consulting cost?

Every engagement is different. It always starts with a free exploratory call, then we build a realistic scope together. No off-the-shelf packages: pricing depends on complexity and expected output.

Are you truly independent from vendors and platforms?

Yes, completely. We have no partnership agreements with technology vendors. Our business model depends on the quality of our advice, not on the products we recommend.

How does the first call work?

It's exploratory and free, lasts 30 minutes. We understand your challenge, assess whether we can help, and tell you honestly if we're not the right choice. No commitment.

Do you only work with Italian companies?

No. We work with clients across EMEA and North America, in Italian, English and French. Language and jurisdiction are not a barrier.

What do you deliver at the end of an engagement?

Always something written: a recommendations document, an architectural plan, a prioritised technical-debt assessment. The engagement doesn't end with a call.

Have a technical decision that needs a clear head?

Thirty minutes are enough to understand your challenge and whether we can help. No commitment, no pitch.
