Redlake Technology

 

Redlake is a technology consultancy specialising in cloud computing; we use modern development practices to help our clients achieve their digital transformation goals.

 

In our experience, the most valuable business outcomes come from small, autonomous teams working on clearly defined business goals that can be delivered iteratively.

We work with your business at all stages of the software development lifecycle to translate the outcomes you're looking for into tangible, deliverable technology solutions.

 

What we do

 

Reinsurance -
exposure management

Monitor exposure across industries and geographies

Quantify exposure to large corporates with the potential to drive systemic losses

Aggregate risk across portfolios with hundreds of thousands of underlying policies

Cloud migration

Unlock the advantages of modern development practices with cloud computing and serverless architecture

Reduce costs by removing lengthy and costly hardware requirements analysis and procurement from your projects

Accelerate delivery by eliminating the need to engineer for scale. Build once, run at any scale

 

Reinsurance -
financial modelling

Compute losses-to-layer for stochastic and deterministic event sets

Support complex treaty terms - inuring, sublimits, warranties etc...

Model inwards and outwards reinsurance to optimise your portfolio on a gross-to-net basis

App development

We develop cross-platform mobile apps for iOS and android devices

Redlake's "mobile app starter kit" accelerates app development by providing basic functionality like user authentication out-of-the-box

We mostly build with react-native, meaning we can use the same codebase to target both iOS and android in a cost-effective way.

 

How we work

What do we mean by “modern development practices”? This is less to do with specific technology or methodology choices and more to do with the principles that guide the software development process, such as the following:

Learning by doing
Experience is critical when it comes to building valuable business tools. At redlake, we adhere to genshi genbutsu, meaning "go and see for yourself". Our technical decision-making is always supported by tangible real-world experience, which may or may not align with the Gartner Magic Quadrant!
Deliver value early
To reduce risk to our clients, we manage projects to deliver meaningful business value early in the process. We and the client can then directly see for ourselves whether the project is delivering on its promise or not
Show, don't tell
At redlake, we aim to demonstrate actual working code and systems whenever possible. Experience has made us wary of slide decks and presentations that aren't always a fair representation of actual project progress
Measure and course correct
Objective measurement of outcomes and timely corrective actions are key to success. At redlake we use an OODA loop approach to continuously monitor our results and provide feedback for the next steps

 

Who we work with

Our client list covers industries from finance to sports to education. What these clients have in common is an appetite for collaborative, co-creation and a culture that favours experimentation, interaction and iteration.
