Technology Through Collaboration


We are people who create, deploy, and support digital solutions that deliver. This allows our clients to free their creativity for more important matters.

With nearly two decades experience and 1,000 completed projects, our success comes from anticipating, managing, and harnessing complexity in service of growth — while making a difference in people’s lives.

Let’s Get Started

The How

You may have noticed that things are getting more complex out there. As AI and automation grow more common, they create exponential increases of overlapping complexity. More complexity = more places where things can go wrong. People must work with this increasing complexity, and with each other, which means it’s vital to understand more than just technology. Speed & Functions works with both people and tech in ways that deepen bonds and produce better results. Here’s how.

TOaaS® (Technology Organization as a Service)

Our experience over our 15+ years led us to develop a system that is a self-managing, self-scaling, and human-centric software delivery service — TOaaS. It is tightly integrated into your core org to achieve key results efficiently and in cost-effective ways.
We enable TOaaS in two ways:

Extreme Alignment

We achieve Extreme Alignment (EA) by focusing on two places: the people and the process.

EA includes project management mastery, frequent feedback, testing testing testing, Agile and Scrum, developmental work, and value-based pricing, just to name a few.

Elastic Delivery

One size does not fit all. Most agencies like ours struggle to scale up or down, and when forced to do so create delays and price overruns.

We put the right people on the right tasks at the right time and can scale up or down easily, which translates into cost reduction, focused project scope, and accountability — without affecting team unity.

Digital expertise + human experience = unparalleled efficiency.That’s Speed & Function

The Who

We are obsessed with innovation. This means in business, in tech, and in running our own company we’re always trying something novel, something new, something that just might turn an industry upside down.
The old model of transactional outsourcing (our business) has led to low quality solutions, static thinking, and a task-oriented mindset.
We are changing that.

Speed & Function connects the dots. Unfortunately, other parts of the world give you only what you ask for. You don’t get connecting the dots, problem-solving, or creativity.

Serial Tech Entrepreneur & Consultant

By far the best development company I've ever worked with — and I've worked with dozens. They are hands-on, precise, patient, highly-skilled, and actually care about what they are building. It's not a contract for them, they join in as if they are official members of your team.
