custom software development to help your business take flight™

Who are we?

volare (vō-lah-ray) - Italian, to fly. Like the Dean Martin and Gipsy Kings songs.

We are a Denver, Colorado based custom software development consultancy specializing in Microsoft-based web applications, web-based mobile apps, and Windows 8 app development. We follow agile/lean software development principals, and our technical strengths are ASP.NET MVC, Web API, C#, SQL Server, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery, jQuery Mobile, Windows 8, and open-source software.

How are we different?

We know you don't really want software. You want to reach a new market, automate a manual process, increase sales, or cut costs. The software is just a means to an end. Working with a firm that understands this is critical. Customers who work with Volare:

  • Always know the project status.

    With our simple online Kanban board, customers can see our pace and progress, see the status of stories for the upcoming release, change, add, or reprioritize backlog stories, and check the agreed acceptance criteria for a story.

  • Can see work in progress anytime.

    We continuously deliver working software. We deploy your application to a web site with every code check in, so the latest working version is always available for your review. We want your feedback as early and often as possible to be sure we're building the right product.

  • Can download the source code anytime.

    You own the source code. You can go online and pull it down or just browse for code reviews to be sure we’re matching your company's coding standards and the agreed architecture.

  • Get high quality, maintainable, testable code.

    We follow a test-first development approach, with automated unit, integration, and acceptance tests. This approach clarifies requirements, focuses the team, and makes changes and retesting easier.

  • Can change requirements or priorities anytime.

    With agile development processes, we can change direction at any time, and customers have working software at the end of every iteration. Working software means ready for live production.

  • Can stop the project anytime.

    In lean product development, you build the smallest, cheapest feature set you can, then launch it to see if it's worth more time and investment. We encourage our customers to do this as much as possible to get feedback quickly.

How can we work together?

We do project-based custom software development. We meet with you to go over requirements and show work in progress, but the development work is done in our offices. After development is complete, the system is turned over to your IT department, or we can host it and support it if you prefer. For more details, please see our services.

When you're ready to fly, we're ready to help. Contact us today to get started.

  • As a development lead on a custom software development project for a common client, Joe demonstrated a high degree of expertise in agile software development methodology. He encouraged collaboration with the end user, welcomed changing requirements, provided working software to solicit customer feedback, and responded quickly to changes. This methodology was new to the organization, but allowed them to deliver a product to the business that met their needs.

  • Thanks so much for all you've done for our team... leading us in pursuit of Spec Flow (automated test-driven development), demonstrating elegant ways to serialize XML, and working through several of our most challenging features. You demonstrated well-rounded strengths on both UI-rich and behind-the-scenes development, and your positive attitude and collaborative approaches were a huge asset to the team.

  • Working with Joe on a year-long development project was a breath of fresh air. Joe's attention to detail and commitment to quality made me a better developer. With Joe's leadership, the project was run in a way I always hope for, but rarely get to experience. If you're looking for someone to develop a custom software solution, you can't go wrong with Joe and Volare Systems. If you're a developer looking to be part of a high-quality team, you won't be disappointed. I hope to be able to work with Joe again in the near future.

  • Volare Systems was very proactive and prompt with the work on our company website. They were also very professional and in frequent communication to make sure we received their updates and were pleased with them.

  • We worked with Volare Systems to create some web services to integrate our ecommerce website with our existing order management software. Joe was able to get it done quickly and accurately.

  • Volare Systems designed the website for my startup business. All I had to do was provide text and an idea of how I wanted it to look, and Joe designed it and helped me get it up and running. The site looks great, and it is now indexed and searchable in the major search engines. Volare Systems knew exactly what I needed, and their services were quick and easy.
