Australian Professional Services

Built to Own.
Your Platform. Your IP.

We replace the SaaS you're overpaying for with software you own. Built using AI-augmented, spec-driven development, then fully managed by us at a fraction of the cost.

Trusted by Australia's largest organisations
You're overpaying and under-utilising.
SaaS costs are rising faster than IT budgets. Licences sit unused. Vendors are adding AI premiums that mask true cost increases.

Most SaaS platforms are overbought and under-used.
Over time, the problem compounds. Here's what we hear from every enterprise we talk to.

Rising Renewals

Licence costs increase 8–25% annually while IT budgets grow at 3–5%. Vendors leverage lock-in at renewal time.

Under-Utilised Modules

Only 10–20% of platform capability is used day-to-day. You pay for entire suites but use a thin slice.

Vendor Lock-In

Workflows and business rules are trapped inside vendor platforms. Switching costs keep growing.

AI Premium Gouging

AI add-ons add 30–110% to base costs. Pilot credits mask true production costs by 500–1000%.

Shadow Systems

Teams build workarounds in spreadsheets, email, and side tools because the SaaS doesn't flex.

Integration Complexity

Heavy admin and integration costs to keep platforms connected. Each renewal adds more dependency.

SaaS replacement is finally feasible.

AI-augmented delivery compresses what once took 12–18 months into 90 days. Specification-driven development means no guesswork. Enterprise patterns are battle-tested by Macquarie, ServiceNSW, and Woolworths.

How we can help you own your platform.
Everything you need to reclaim control of your technology. Using skilled practitioners to rebuild your business IP.

API + DevOps Services

We modernise platforms and delivery pipelines so teams ship faster, operate with less firefighting, and build momentum that sticks.

API gateway design, service mesh adoption, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure-as-code — delivered by practitioners who've built platforms for Macquarie, Optus, and ServiceNSW.

🛠

Managed Services

Full platform operations post-cutover. We run, monitor, and evolve your new system so your team stays focused on outcomes, not infrastructure.

SLA-mirrored support, proactive monitoring, continuous improvement, and on-call engineering — so your new platform runs calmly from day one.

Four steps from existing SaaS to owned platform.
1

Extract

We observe and document your actual workflows, data flows, and integration points from the existing SaaS platform.

Discovery phase
2

Specify

Specs are written, reviewed with your SMEs, and signed off. These become the contract for parity.

Your specs, your IP
3

Build

AI-augmented engineering builds the replica against the spec. Each workflow is delivered and tested incrementally.

90-day delivery
4

Prove

Golden tests, parity scorecards, and scripted demos validate the replica matches the agreed scope.

Evidence-based handover
From free audit to fully managed service.

Proof of Value outputs.
At the end of the Proof of Value, you receive three deliverables.

Demonstrable Replica

Working replica of agreed workflows (end-to-end). Minimum UI + services + data model to operate the slice. Production-ready architecture with enterprise patterns.

Client-Owned Specifications

Domain spec (workflows, rules, states, permissions). Data spec (entities, assessment, retention). Contract spec (APIs, events, schemas). Experience spec. Parity spec (golden tests, fixtures, criteria).

Executive Evidence Pack

Parity scorecard + test evidence. Demo script and walkthrough. Savings model validated against baseline. Cutover pathway (dual-run, reconciliation, rollback).

No parity, no payment. Then we run it for you.
Two commitments that remove the risk of switching.

The Singularity Guarantee

Singularity guarantees agreed feature parity in 30/60/90 days - or you don't pay for the build component.

Parity is defined upfront: named workflows, required roles and permissions, agreed integrations, and validated by tests and demo scripts.

Full Managed Service

Post-cutover, Singularity provides a full managed service — mirroring the SLAs of your current SaaS provider.

You get the same (or better) operational guarantees with an owned system at a fraction of the cost.

Governance & Security

Enterprise patterns for auth, assessment, and compliance from day one. We build systems that pass enterprise security reviews.
