Software delivery services
Software that's delivered and adopted.
Avocado Consulting helps Australian enterprises and government agencies deliver software from first design to full adoption. One onshore team covers development, DevOps, project delivery and change management, so new systems go live safely and are adopted from day one.
Plan, build, ship, adopt
Project Delivery
Project managers, analysts, designers and AI delivery specialists, backed by governance that keeps programs on scope, budget and time.
Quality engineering
Also see our testing, test automation and QA strategy practice.
Software development
Custom platforms, cloud-native development, integration and modernisation, with testing, security and observability built in from the first sprint.
DevOps
Maturity assessments, CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation that make releases faster and safer.
Technology change management
Readiness, communication and training that help people adopt new systems, cloud platforms and AI tools.
Most technology programs don't fail on code. They fail on the gaps between building, releasing and adopting: unclear priorities, manual releases, late security checks, and users who were never prepared for the change.
Software delivery closes those gaps. It treats development, release, governance and adoption as one process, so the value a program was funded for actually reaches the business.
Avocado has delivered technology change for some of Australia's largest government agencies and corporates for over 20 years, with every consultant onshore. Because we also run Quality Engineering and Software Testing, Data and AI, Cyber Security and Observability practices, the software we deliver is tested, secured and ready to run in production.
Assess, plan, build, adopt
Assess
We understand your priorities, current delivery maturity and the people affected by the change.
Plan
We agree scope, governance, team shape and a roadmap that connects the technology plan to the people plan.
Build and release
Agile teams deliver in short cycles through automated pipelines, with quality and security checks at every stage.
Adopt and embed
Change, training and knowledge transfer help your people adopt the new system, and your teams run and improve it.
Technology-independent by design
Our approach is technology-independent. We work with the platforms you already run.

Common questions
What are software delivery services?
Software delivery services cover everything needed to get new software into use: development, release automation, project governance and change management. Avocado provides all four from one onshore team.
What is the difference between software development and software delivery?
Software development builds the application. Software delivery covers the whole path to value, including how it is released, governed and adopted by users.
Can we engage Avocado for just one service or staff augmentation?
Yes. Most clients start with one service, such as DevOps or a project manager, and add others as the program grows.
Is testing part of software delivery?
Software testing runs through every delivery we do. For dedicated testing, test automation and QA strategy, see our Quality Engineering practice.
Do you deliver AI projects?
Yes. Our project delivery teams include AI project managers, data engineers and AI governance specialists, working with our Data and AI practice.
Rescuing a stalled policy platform
A major Australian insurer's policy platform had been stuck at 20 concurrent users for three years. A 10-person Avocado team found the root cause in four weeks and scaled it to 1,000 concurrent users, with quotes returned in under three seconds.
