How quickly can you start my project?

We typically deploy core teams within 2 weeks. Our agile process means no long discovery phase or onboarding lag — we move at startup speed with enterprise discipline.

Do you work with legacy systems?

Absolutely. Legacy modernization is one of our core strengths. We migrate monoliths to secure, cloud-native microservices without taking your business offline while we work.

How do you handle data security?

Security is built in via DevSecOps — not added at the end. We follow SOC 2 / HIPAA-aligned practices from sprint one, implement zero-trust architecture, and conduct regular penetration testing.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. 100%. Once delivered and paid for, all source code, designs, and documentation belong specifically to your company. No licensing gotchas.

Do you provide post-launch support?

Yes. Flexible SLAs covering 24/7 monitoring, security patching, performance optimization, and ongoing feature work. We don't disappear after go-live.

What pricing models do you offer?

Fixed Bid for clear scopes (clarity and budget certainty) and Time & Materials for evolving roadmaps (flexibility to adapt). We recommend the model that protects your investment best.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

No catch. It's a 60-minute working session with a senior AI engineer — no pitch deck, no commitment. We do a handful of these every month because the conversations are how good engagements start. If we're not the right fit, you still leave with a written summary you can use.

We don't have an AI strategy yet — is this still useful?

Especially then. Most of the value is in deciding what NOT to build. We'll pressure-test the use case, sanity-check ROI, and tell you which 80% of vendor demos to ignore. For a sense of the shape of work that survives that filter, see our AI case studies.

Will you look at our actual stack and data?

Yes — bring whatever you can share. Architecture diagrams, prompts, eval traces, retrieval setup, model bills, anonymized samples. The audit gets sharper the more concrete it is. Anything you share stays under NDA and is yours.

Who shows up on the call?

A senior AI engineer who has shipped production GenAI / agent systems — not an account manager. Depending on your stack we may bring a second specialist (data, MLOps, or platform) so you get a real second opinion, not a sales hand-off.

What do I walk away with?

A short written summary covering: the highest-leverage problems we'd tackle first, the architecture choices we'd defend or change, specific risks (cost, latency, hallucination, eval, guardrails), and a rough sequencing. You can share it internally as-is.

How is this different from a generic 'discovery call'?

Discovery calls are about us learning your budget. This is about you getting a useful technical opinion. We come prepared, we go deep on one or two problems instead of skimming ten, and we're explicit about what we don't know.

About CDS

The architects of what's next .

Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Hyderabad, with delivery studios across the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Netherlands, Germany, and Dubai, CDS is a Solution Engineering partner to global enterprises. We work with insurers, banks, retailers, manufacturers, and logistics operators to design, launch, and scale platforms that move revenue and efficiency from day one. Six disciplines under one roof: digital transformation, AI and data science, product engineering, data analytics, experience design, and quality engineering. Senior people on every account. No generalists pretending.

We exist to make intelligence the default, not the upgrade. That means AI considered from day one, never bolted on after launch. It means engineering that survives contact with production. It means co-owning the outcome instead of billing for activity. Our clients do not buy slideware. They buy compounding advantage, shipped quarter after quarter. The kind of work that shows up on the next earnings call, not the next pitch deck.
