At Notside, we don't just build software—we revolutionize how it's built. Traditional development agencies are bogged down by unnecessary processes, endless meetings, and bureaucratic overhead. We've stripped all that away to create something better: the SIDE Method™.
The Problem with Traditional Development
Most software agencies follow the same tired playbook: lengthy discovery phases, excessive documentation, multiple approval layers, and slow iteration cycles. The result? Projects that take months to deliver, cost more than expected, and often miss the mark on what users actually need.
Key Insight
We've found that 60% of traditional project time is spent on activities that don't directly contribute to building the product. That's time and money wasted.
Enter the SIDE Method™
SIDE stands for Simplify, Innovate, Develop, Evolve. It's our proprietary framework for delivering exceptional software at unprecedented speed. Here's how it works:
1. Simplify (S)
We start by stripping away complexity. In our initial sessions, we focus on identifying the core problem and the minimum viable solution. No fluff, no unnecessary features—just what matters.
- Define clear, measurable objectives
- Map core user needs (not wants)
- Eliminate scope creep before it starts
- Create a lean, focused roadmap
2. Innovate (I)
Innovation doesn't mean reinventing the wheel. It means finding the smartest, most efficient path to your goal. We leverage cutting-edge technologies and proven patterns to create solutions that are both novel and reliable.
"Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about saying no to all but the most crucial features." - Steve Jobs
3. Develop (D)
This is where the magic happens. Our development process is agile in the truest sense—not the bureaucratic "agile" that many companies practice. We build in rapid sprints, deploy continuously, and iterate based on real feedback.
Real Results
Our average time from concept to MVP: 4-6 weeks. Industry average: 3-6 months.
4. Evolve (E)
Launch is just the beginning. We monitor, measure, and evolve your product based on real-world usage. This continuous improvement cycle ensures your software stays relevant and competitive.
Case Study: DadosBall
Let's look at a real example. A gaming startup came to us with an ambitious vision: a real-time multiplayer game that works seamlessly across iOS and Android, supporting players from different regions competing simultaneously.
Using the SIDE Method™, we:
- Simplified the concept to focus on core gameplay mechanics
- Innovated with WebSocket architecture for real-time matches
- Developed a cross-platform solution using React Native
- Evolved with multi-language support and payment integration
The result? A fully functional game supporting thousands of concurrent players, delivered in just 8 weeks.
Why This Matters for Your Business
In today's fast-paced market, speed is everything. The faster you can validate your idea, the faster you can iterate, pivot, or scale. The SIDE Method™ gives you that speed without sacrificing quality.
Whether you're a startup looking to launch your MVP or an established company seeking to modernize your tech stack, our approach delivers results that matter: faster time to market, lower costs, and products that users love.
