The Geneca Experience
We measure our success by yours.
Who is Geneca?
Ground-breaking Software Development Approach
The software industry is famous for low-ball bids followed by requests for more money once your project is in motion. In an industry where 70% of projects fail, we have a 97% success rate for being on-time, on-budget, and on-expectation as a result of our dedication to partnership and our approach to custom software development.
Why Geneca stands out
Our culture of courage and commitment, coupled with the use of Agile methodology, ensures that your software project gets done on time and on budget.
We’ve developed extraordinary in-house talent and tools to provide visibility and clarity into your project at every turn. Geneca’s Virtual Wall Gantt ™, Joornal ™, and Experience Inventory ensure that we catch potential issues early, before they affect the trajectory of your software project.
Not only will we bring your ideas to life, BUT we will also exceed your expectations at every turn.

We've got history
In 1998, Geneca was born as a technology consulting firm, fueled by the conviction that technology investments are judged by the business benefit they deliver.
That means that even if we did exactly what we were asked to do, we failed if our work did not meet our client’s ROI expectations. If it saved our client some money, that was good. However, if it made them money, well that was both valuable AND rewarding!
We partner with our clients to design products that engage their employees and customers, increasing accessibility and efficiency--products that are loved.

To partner with companies to lead their industries by pushing the boundaries of what is possible through collaborative thinking and advanced business strategy, extensive expertise and cutting-edge technology. We help you invent revenue by inventing software.
Our Vision
Use software to create something extraordinary from something ordinary. To do that, we have to be more than a technology company. We have to be the place to go to turn a big idea into big business impact.
Successful software projects aren’t all about software
Partner is Our Verb
Partnership is at the center of all we do. Our first client is still a client—20 years and counting. We value your success and work closely with you to achieve it. We build agilely with transparency and traceability, so you feel confident through every step and scenario.
Minimum Lovable Product
You do not want a viable product; you want one that your users refuse to live without—something they’ll love. User satisfaction is the only route to user adoption, so you need a first release that is thrilling, convenient, powerful, intuitive, and easier than what they have now.
Don’t walk–sprint
Our sprint-based approach to agile development keeps your project flexible and moving forward. Our experience—and the tools we built along the way—provide transparency and confidence as we work with you to build your product. We work at the speed you need, consistently delivering value.
