FAQ

About Aeturnum

What is Aeturnum's focus?
Aeturnum is focused on helping tech companies accelerate time-to-market and significantly reduce their development costs.

Most entrepreneurs and early-stage tech companies engaged in application development spend precious time and capital developing common business functionality, services and logic. This slows time to market and stifles efforts to innovate and differentiate their software products. In addition, they add the risks and costs associated with hiring and managing new development team members, architecting, designing and developing their solution and licensing different software components.

We also bring this same “start-up” thinking to product development teams within larger organizations that need to move fast to get a new product to market or pivot with an existing product.

There are several case studies available here on the site to give you a better idea of the types of clients we work with.
What type of services does Aeturnum offer?
Aeturnum offers custom design & development services to tech or tech-enabled companies. Where applicable, we also leverage and customize the modules of our innovative accelerator platform called Athiva, to quickly provide certain key business services or features that are invariably needed by almost all SaaS platform. For instance - User Management, Account Management, Mobile Apps, Payments, Social Connectors, Rules Engine & Targeting. In doing so, we accelerate time-to-market for our customers at an unparalleled cost efficiency. In some cases as much as 40-50%. As opposed to them cobbling the right technical team and skills and then build everything from scratch.

We also offer CTO services as needed, on a temporary basis.

About Athiva

What exactly is Athiva?
Leveraging our extensive start-up and technology experience, we developed and refined a comprehensive accelerator platform - called Athiva - that provides ready-to-use and highly customizable business application services commonly used in business software products. It is highly modular and built on industry-standard technologies such as Java, Spring, Tomcat and AngularJS. It is built on a non-proprietary technology stack that is easy to maintain.
Is Athiva used on every client project?
No. We use Athiva selectively – depending on each client’s specific needs and where it makes sense. If we do use Athiva, individual modules can be quickly customized to a client’s needs. We also custom develop from scratch as needed.
Who owns the Athiva modules?
The client. Our services are performed on a work-for-hire basis, so everything we build (including Athiva modules and source code) is fully owned by the client.
How much does it cost?
It's free. Aeturnum’s services are delivered on a work-for-hire basis. You pay for development and customization. There are no additional or hidden costs for Athiva.
Do I need to hire my own team?
No – we become your team and get your product to market within the budget & specified time period. If you already have a team then that's great - we will work with them to complement their efforts.
Maintenance and Support?
There are no support fees for Athiva. Aeturnum does offer support and maintenance for any solution we build. Fees are project-specific.
Who are your customers? What do they use Athiva for? What’s been their success rate?
