The August Group offers boutique software development services in short-term and project-based engagements. We employ agile methods appropriate to your project, working inside of existing teams or as a lights-out, independent resource reporting to you. We are passionate about solving the technology problems of the medium-sized business or small enterprise with leading-edge, open-source solutions focused on delivering working software that will bring results to your bottom line.

Our consulting practice is led by principal Tim Berglund.

Today's software is connected software, and the primary means of connecting to the network is the desktop browser. At the August Group, we specialize in delivering application functionality through the browser using high-productivity web frameworks like Groovy on Grails and rich, functional web interfaces using standards-based HTML and JavaScript.

We specialize in development on the Java Virtual Machine, using the Java language and its high- productivity cousin, Groovy. We have organizational experience in the standard suite of open-source Java projects that drive quality business software, including Spring, Hibernate, Tomcat, and many others.

Programs written for business are tools, and tools are only as effective as they are usable. For this reason, the August Group will not produce user-facing software without the involvement of our User Experience practice. We ensure that our products match the expectation of the user to the behavior of the program, resulting in tools that are both functional and beautiful.

Business does not exist apart from data—data which is constantly growing and volume, complexity, and in the expectations placed upon it to improve operations and reveal actionable insight. The August Group's data practice brings experience in data warehousing, ETL, analytics, relational design, and performance optimization, across market-leading commercial databases as well as open-source solutions.
