Custom Software Development Services
We design and build custom software for regulated companies, including AI-enabled and agentic systems. We settle build vs buy before anyone writes code, and you own every line we ship.
Custom software development is the design, build, testing, and support of software written for one organization's processes, data, and users, which that organization owns instead of licensing. BD Emerson designs and builds custom and enterprise software, including AI-enabled and agentic systems, for insurers, banks, fintechs, healthcare organizations, private equity portfolio companies, and other regulated clients. Every engagement starts with a build vs buy decision, designs security and compliance controls in from the first sprint, and integrates with the core platforms you already run. When the system already exists, we modernize it in stages so the business keeps running on the old one until the new one reconciles.
A short, paid engagement that produces an architecture, a prioritized backlog, and an estimate you can take to finance. You keep all three whether or not we build the system.
One defined release built against an agreed backlog, price, and acceptance criteria. This shape fits work that discovery has pinned down, including the integrations and data it depends on.
A standing team of engineers, a product lead, and QA that ships on a regular cadence against your roadmap. This shape fits products that will keep changing after launch.
We take on an application you already run and modernize it in stages, with the old system live until the new one reconciles. The work starts with an assessment of which modules to keep, refactor, or rebuild.
We advise on build vs buy before anyone writes code, and buying wins more often than building. Each recommendation comes with license, build, and run costs on both paths, so it holds up in front of your CFO and your board.
Our practice runs SOC 2, ISO 27001, and privacy programs, so access control, encryption, logging, and change management ship with the first release. We also perform SOC 2 examinations through our CPA attest practice, and the firm that examines a client does not also build its controls.
We build for insurers, banks, fintechs, healthcare organizations, and private equity portfolio companies, where audit trails, data handling, and core platform integration decide whether software ships. You own the code and the intellectual property we create for you.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.
Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.
Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.
Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.
We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
