Frequently asked questions

What does Talk Think Do do?

Talk Think Do is a UK custom software development company based in Bournemouth. We design, build, and support bespoke software on Microsoft Azure using AI-augmented development, typically 40-50% faster than traditional bespoke build. Our work spans custom application development, AI integration, legacy modernisation, and managed support, with full code ownership and ISO 27001 security as standard. See our services.

How much does custom software development cost?

It depends on scope, complexity, and how much you already have in place. As a guide, a focused build or replatform typically starts around £30,000-50,000, while a full enterprise programme can run from £100,000 to £500,000 or more. AI-augmented delivery keeps these lower than traditional bespoke build by cutting delivery time 40-50%. We give a detailed estimate after a short scoping conversation. See our pricing guide.

What is AI-augmented development, and is it safe for enterprise?

AI-augmented development means our engineers use AI tools across the delivery lifecycle, from design through testing, to ship enterprise software 40-50% faster. It is safe for enterprise because experienced engineers stay in control of every decision, all code is reviewed, and we work to ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus standards with full code ownership handed to you. It is a disciplined engineering practice, not unchecked code generation. See how we work with AI.

Which industries do you work in?

We build software for organisations in education, government and the public sector, sport and fitness, and transport, among others. Clients include Hodder Education, the Department for Education, CalMac Ferries, and Third Space. We are also a Crown Commercial Service supplier, so public sector buyers can engage us through established frameworks. See the sectors we serve.

Are you a Microsoft partner?

Yes. Talk Think Do is a Microsoft Solutions Partner, the designation that replaced the old Gold and Silver Partner programme. We build on the Microsoft stack, including Azure, .NET, and Azure OpenAI, and our engineers hold current Microsoft certifications. What our Microsoft partner status means for you.

Do you support software after it launches?

Yes. We provide managed application support with tiered SLAs, proactive monitoring, and continuous improvement, so we do not disappear after launch. We also support and stabilise software we did not originally build, including legacy systems you need to keep running. See our managed support.
