Trust
Modern software is a trust environment. From the code tools, to customer relationships, to „zero trust“ security protocols. Do you trust something that you have no insight into?
Governance
It is always a matter of who „owns“ the system, and that is a matter of who governs it. If you are the one choosing to create or destroy, you will own it. But is that actually you, or the tools you use?
Domain Knowledge
AI tools are great at understanding a system, but they don’t need to understand the whole of your business. You do. It isn’t just knowing the ‚how‘, it is the ‚why‘, the ‚when‘ and the ‚who‘.
Code Authority
Code authority is the term we use to describe knowing what the code is doing. We utilise tools, but we don’t let them replace humans making the choices.
„No technology since nuclear fission will shape our collective future quite like artificial intelligence, so it’s paramount AI systems are safe, secure, trustworthy and socially responsible.“

Bei Shadowcat Systems glauben wir, dass Systeme und Unternehmen vom Menschen geführt werden sollten. Wir verfügen über jahrzehntelange Erfahrung in der Softwareentwicklung und -bereitstellung: Wir verstehen nicht nur die Vorteile und Chancen einer modernen KI-gestützten Welt,
sondern auch die Risiken und Konsequenzen, wenn man die Kontrolle darüber verliert.
Shadowcat kann Ihnen helfen, die Vorteile der KI zu nutzen und Sie gleichzeitig vor den Fallstricken zu schützen, die entstehen, wenn man die Ergebnisse nicht selbst besitzt. Kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn:
- You have an existing codebase that has grown unrecognisable. You want to modernise; update to improve security or efficiency; or just to reduce technical debt from library and modules being deprecated and replaced?
- You want to introduce contemporary tools and practices, including automation using AI, but want to also keep control of system governance, understanding and trust.
- You want to review and standardise your development and deployment ecosystem to use industry „best practices“ which enable you to evolve your infrastructure in a more secure and practical manner.
- Wir haben uns traditionell auf Perl-basierte Software spezialisiert, verfügen aber auch über Kompetenzen in JavaScript, Python, Rust, C und anderen Sprachen. Über mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte hinweg haben wir Unternehmen dabei geholfen, ihre Systeme anzupassen und weiterzuentwickeln, ohne immer
die Notwendigkeit drastischer Lösungen aufzuzeigen.
A few things we’re great at
Flexibility
We have proven skills in working in a range of software environments, from one man projects to large teams working on extensive frameworks.
Over the years we have worked with a number of in-house and remote teams to bring projects to completion and evolve existing codebases.
Our team is famaliar with software enviromments ranging from contemporary tech stacks which utilise JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS Frameworks and Rust, to more traditional languages such as Perl, C, C#, Python and PhP.
Development
We utilise best practices learned from decades of experience in projects and code environments using:
- Configuration Management (Puppet, Chef, Ansible)
- Containerisation (Docker)
- Test frameworks
- CLIs
- Test Driven Development (TDD)
- Continuous Integration and Deployment
- Pull Request Reviews
Data protection
We practice and respect a strong adherence to data protection and data privacy. Our team has experience working with DPIAs and DPOs, and as both processors and controllers.
Based in the UK and the EU. our teams are protected by, and respect, the GDPR, and work with your teams to show compliance to the regulations wherever you operate.
Deployment Management
We shine when it comes to working in, and evolving, a modern development to deployment environment. We can help transform or build processes and protocols that control your software journey from ‚conceptual design‘ through
to being ‚in production‘.
We are constantly seeking to work with people who want to integrate AI in a sensible human-led manner.
