How We Work

Five steps. Every one produces something concrete.

1

AI Workshops

We start with hands-on AI workshops to assess your data, systems, and workflows. Together, we identify where AI can create real business value, what's realistic today, and what needs to be built first. You leave with a clear, prioritized roadmap. No hype. No guesswork.

2

Design

We translate your roadmap into production-ready architecture, data models, and integration plans. Everything is designed to fit your organization and support long-term growth.

3

Build

We write clean, tested, maintainable software. You get regular updates, working systems, and full transparency from day one. No black boxes. No experiments that die in staging.

4

Deploy

We handle infrastructure, security, compliance, and launch. Your systems go live with monitoring, backups, and documentation built in.

5

Support

We provide ongoing maintenance, optimization, and support. Your systems stay secure, reliable, and ready to evolve as your business grows.

Built in Birmingham. Trusted for the Long Term.

Engineering-led. Accountable for the long haul.

KEYSYS has been building production software in Birmingham, Alabama since 2007. We're an engineering-led consultancy focused on durable systems, long-term partnerships, and work that holds up over time.

We partner with organizations that value reliability, clarity, and ownership. Our clients know they can reach us, that we'll respond, and that we take responsibility for what we build. We're invested in their success. For the long haul.

That accountability matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions. Straight answers.

Yes. Most of our work involves integrating with systems you already use — ERPs, CRMs, databases, and SaaS platforms. We design integrations that are reliable, secure, and maintainable so your data flows correctly and your teams can work efficiently.

Absolutely. Many organizations have proof-of-concept projects that never reach production due to security, governance, data quality, or integration challenges. We specialize in turning pilots and prototypes into durable, production-ready systems.

Security and governance are built into every project from the start. We follow industry best practices for authentication, authorization, encryption, audit logging, and compliance. We also work closely with your IT and security teams to ensure everything meets your organization's standards.

Both. We believe in renting commodity software and owning core systems. If a SaaS tool meets your needs, we'll integrate with it. If you need something custom that creates real competitive advantage, we'll build it. The goal is to use the right tool for each job.

We usually start with an AI Workshop or discovery phase to understand your workflows, systems, and goals. From there, we provide a clear proposal with scope, timeline, and cost. Most initial projects are focused, deliver value quickly, and expand based on what we learn together.

We're based in Birmingham and love working with local organizations. We also work with clients across the country. Most projects run remotely with regular check-ins and collaboration tools. When in-person work adds value, we're happy to meet on-site or host sessions locally.

We work best with organizations that see software and data as strategic assets, not just IT expenses. If reliability, ownership, and long-term value matter to you, we're likely a good fit.
