Light Speed Framework

After spending the initial five years developing projects, we realized that software development projects look simple at the start but can become quite complex very quickly.  As ideas evolve from a prototype to a business-critical application, initiatives to scale up, update, patch, build revisions and maintain software become complex.  Business requirements change, original developers are no longer present, and stakeholders need an agile environment to stay productive.  These issues and many more make it expensive for any size organization to maintain software and stay competitive.

Developers at Light Speed Solutions recognized this challenge, and built a framework to simplify the software development lifecycle.  The Light Speed Framework was developed from our decades of business experience and has allowed our team as well as many of our customers to develop their solutions faster and with limited resources.  We empower smaller teams so that our customers can stay more nimble and require less management.

At the heart of our framework, we adhere to the following three principles:

Convention Over Configuration:

Our framework uses this approach which makes all team members quickly understand details.  This also allows for generic code rather than writing specific code over and over.

Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) Approach:

Our framework follows the DRY rule, which reduces repetition by using a single instance of an object.  On average, DRY reduces 60% of objects when compared to non-framework based solutions.

Metadata-Driven Runtime Control:

Our framework uses metadata for many options coded at design time.  Metadata allows updates to be made in real-time, skipping many sprints of development, testing and redeployment efforts.

All three principles result in smaller developer teams writing “Low Code” and achieving “Fast Delivery” with ease of maintenance for any new or existing developer.  In the unlikely event that you do not have the resources, our team can assist.

We believe that software projects are like an iceberg – we plan ahead to avoid the unforeseen challenges that plague large projects.  Our adherence to these core principles have helped continue our original projects, even after 10 years.

Unlimited Developers & End-Users Licensing Model

At Light Speed Solutions, we strive to rise together and bring value to our customers. Rather than wasting time forcing a square peg into a round hole, we would rather not sell our framework in a not-so-perfect situation. Our dedication to matching requirements to business needs turns many prospects into long-term customers.

We will be more than glad to refund the initial deposit if either parties discover the disconnect after engagement has already started to avoid any hassles.

As most solutions start small but have the potential to become a core component of an organization with hundreds of users, we structured our licensing to be neither based on the number of developers nor the number of end-users who will be using the application. Some applications built on Light Speed Framework are servicing thousands of users on a daily basis.

One of our customer’s projects is processing over a $1 billion a year while another contains over 200 million rows of data to process.

Our Story

Since 1998, the Light Speed Solutions team has developed and supported customized web applications across all industries on five continents. Our mission has always been to help turn a business vision into reality by designing, developing, and delivering quality solutions on time and, more importantly, on budget.

Looking back, what has set us apart from other software development shops is our innovative framework and our development methodology. This has allowed us to design, develop and deliver solutions with “Low Code” and “Fast Delivery”.

People have always debated whether software development is an art or a science.  As much as it seems to be science where you learn about various widgets, it is surely an art to put these widgets together to build a solution. During the last two decades, we put the perfect mix of common UI components with a solid .NET architecture (from ASP to .NET Core) and turned it into a base application to get any project off the ground quickly.

Quality over quantity has always been our motto, and we’re sticking to it.

Framework Features

(Select each category for a more detailed feature list.)

We utilize our framework with a core set of built-in features to deliver solutions quickly and effectively. We believe that knowledge, thoroughness, and attention to detail are essential when developing mission-critical business applications. The modular architecture and well-defined code structure makes it a breeze for anyone to get started on their way to having an enterprise-ready application.

Consulting, Support & Training

We are always ready to share our experiences and truly believe in transparency and knowledge transfer. Our goal is to be your go-to partner rather than have your organization be dependent upon us. We have many customers that return for their next projects or framework upgrades after several years of working with our initial project.

Some of our work has been in production for well over 15 years and still going strong.

Light Speed Solutions significantly improved patient care while assuring retention and scalability

Our business need was an ongoing, moving target, but Akesh and his team were always able to match that behavior and continue to enhance value to our patients. Our care coordinators’ time shifted from basic administrative work to high valued activities which, in the end, reduced patient deactivation and increased the quality of our patient relationships.
