Olystic
The Olystic Story
Founded in Olympia, WA in 2005, Olystic is a custom software consulting company that delivers cutting-edge software solutions using modern tools and best practices.

The company was born out of an organic need to build a development team for a medium sized project. We have been working together ever since. Olystic was founded by consultants, and we remain actively involved in hands-on software development. We're a lean company and we understand our clients' motivation to build software efficiently and without waste.

Olystic is an Agile shop with several Certified ScrumMasters on staff and over 12 years of Scrum project history. Experience has taught us the benefits of iterative development, and of Scrum in particular as a simple and effective framework for managing projects. Our consultants are adept at applying their experience to help clients get products to market.

Software Architecture Analysis and Planning
Our consultants have the depth of experience to plan and design software solutions using a wide range of modern technologies. We can help with your organization's legacy migration, new product development, upgrade, or scale out. We also do short targeted assessments using SWOT methodology to evaluate systems and recommend a course of action.
Content Management Solutions Using Orchard CMS
Orchard CMS is an open source content management system built on the Microsoft stack. It's packed with features and robust enough to handle the most demanding loads. We use Orchard not only on traditional CMS website projects but also as a modular platform for building complex interconnected web applications.
Performance Tuning and Debugging
It's not easy debugging someone else's code, but we enjoy the challenge. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing an application or query's performance increase by orders of magnitude through the simple application of best-practice techniques. Many developers leave performance on the table by ignoring asynchronous programming constructs or not following good threading practices. Our team is adept at fixing those types of problems while mentoring developers at the same time.
Custom Application Development
We build line of business apps, databases, mobile apps, service-oriented architectures, and many other types of custom applications. Our clients come from different sectors including government, finance, healthcare, and retail.
Cloud-Hosted Solutions
Azure and the Microsoft stack are our preferred tools for delivering cloud applications. We've helped large and small businesses and government agencies leverage the cloud to quickly deploy scalable, secure, easy to maintain systems.
Business and Systems Analysis
Our business analysts are expert communicators who can work with business users to translate requirements into backlog items and user stories with clearly defined acceptance criteria. We also provide systems analysis for everything from as built diagrams to system & process design to RDBMS and data warehouse design.
