Helping Your Business Grow
Small and large businesses alike often encounter problems when their processes and systems can no longer keep up and sustain their growth. When technology starts slowing you down or affecting your ability to serve your customers, it’s time for a change.
Application Development & Modernization
Business needs and the technology landscape change at a rapid pace. Software systems need to be constantly revised in order to continue to provide value with minimal effort and at a reduced maintenance and operating cost.
Application modernization is the practice of updating existing software systems for newer computing approaches, including newer architectural paradigms, programming languages and frameworks, as well as infrastructure platforms, either on-premise or in the public cloud.
- increase agility and delivery speed of your development teams
- increase automation of business operations and processes
- eliminate redundant functionality and save costs
- provide a better user experience
- mitigate or eliminate errors and data loss
- decrease operational and maintenance costs
- get ready for migration to the cloud.
Data Engineering & Analytics
Organizations process and collect large amounts of data each and every day. Securing, organizing and deriving timely actionable insights from this data is very complex, requiring skill-sets that are currently in short supply.
Modern data engineering and analytics solutions are cloud-based or cloud-native systems that simplify the process of collecting data from disparate sources, offer flexible options for short and long term secure storage, facilitate discovery and ad-hoc querying for exploratory analysis, and provide state-of-the-art tools for business intelligence reporting and machine learning models.
- setting up reliable and cost-effective data ingestion and storage infrastructure
- easing data discovery with data catalogs and search
- protecting your sensitive data to ensure confidentiality and regulatory compliance
- optimizing your batch and streaming data processing pipelines
- improving your business intelligence reporting and visualization
- building the infrastructure for machine learning model training and serving.
Cloud Readiness & Adoption
Migrating all or part of your software workloads to the cloud is a massive undertaking. While the potential benefits are significant, it is imperative to prepare and plan appropriately before taking the leap.
Public cloud platforms offer virtually unlimited scalability, flexibility, increased security, better business continuity and disaster recovery options, all at a smaller cost. To take full advantage of these massive benefits, your applications may need to be unshackled from the dependencies on your on-premise infrastructure.
- reviewing and updating your applications for cloud readiness
- adopting cloud-ready and cloud-native processes and tools
- properly designing your cloud landing zone to avoid common pitfalls
- shortening the learning curve for cloud technologies
- creating a step-by-step roadmap for workload migration
- seamlessly migrating to cloud with no data loss or business interruption.
Our engineers and architects hold multiple cloud certifications.

Success Stories & Insights
We employed our expertise in application and database performance optimization to improve system performance for critical execution paths by up to 40%, resulting in faster time to insights for Genus' research team and portfolio managers. As an added benefit, the load on data systems was reduced, delaying the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
ListSimple required advanced skills and expertise to develop a full-fledged system on a tight deadline to monetize on the interest generated by their initial core product. Aligned's engineers built a modern, scalable, reliable software solution that enabled ListSimple to grow rapidly. As a result, ListSimple delivers more than 10,000 service appointments annually, with 3,000 happy customers satisfied and returning over and over for their measurement and media needs.
Power BI is Microsoft’s robust business intelligence tool that allows you to create interactive dashboards and reports from various data sources. You may face challenges meeting data residency requirements if you have customers or users in different regions or countries. We explain the options for building a multi-region Power BI environment to address these challenges.
Upgrading legacy software applications can improve efficiency, productivity, and security, integrate with other systems, enhance scalability, save costs, future-proof your business, provide end-to-end data governance, and attract new talent. Investing in application modernization helps companies to stay competitive and succeed in the long run.
Testimonials
We're extremely proud of our track record. Here are some of the words of appreciation from our clients.
As Responsive begins expanding into new regions, it is imperative that we work with partners who are experts in security, cloud architecture, and best practices for SOC 2 audits.
Our partnership with Aligned was essential for us to meet these technical objectives. We are excited to continue to partner with Aligned and would highly recommend Aligned to any business that wants to solve challenging architectural problems with a focus on security, scalability, and business growth.
Chris Sanford, CTO
Aligned was a fantastic engineering and architecture partner. They spearheaded the architecture and solution design for a key component of our technology platform, and worked with our teams to build it from the ground up.
As a product manager, I admired their ability to understand and effectively communicate the vision and strategy of what we were building to the rest of the engineering team.
In addition, I greatly appreciated their ability to effectively and independently manage our development team. With Aligned in charge, I always had confidence that we were making progress and working on the right thing.
