*Platform · Software Factory* # Turn ideas into governed software. > Software Factory gives technical teams and business users a controlled way to create, test, deploy and operate software inside company infrastructure. ## What changes Accelerate both production engineering and the long tail of internal tools without bypassing security or IT standards. ## Compress the software delivery cycle. Coding agents work across requirements, implementation, testing, review, documentation and release — inside approved workspaces and delivery controls. - **Governed workspaces** — Start from approved stacks with company tools, code and policies ready. - **Parallel delivery agents** — Run implementation, testing, documentation and review work in parallel. - **Evidence at every gate** — Keep reviews, checks, approvals and release artefacts attached to the work. - **Connect to your SDLC** — Work with existing repositories, tickets, CI/CD and deployment environments. [Compress the software delivery cycle.](/platform/software-factory/agentic-sdlc.md) ## Let every team build the tool it needs. Business users and technical teams can create focused internal applications with company data, skills and infrastructure already available. - **Start from an outcome** — Build a form, dashboard, workflow interface or operational tool around the work. - **Use shared capabilities** — Call approved skills, agents, knowledge and connectors rather than rebuilding them. - **Deploy at the right scale** — Host for one person, one team or the whole organisation. - **Keep IT in control** — Manage access, versions, releases, hosting and policy centrally.
