Common questions

What is software R&D (research and development)?

Software R&D at Essen Software is 4–8 week sprints to answer technical questions—feasibility reports, PoCs, and implementation blueprints—with 100% client-owned IP and support for IoT and edge.

How long does an R&D engagement with Essen take? +

Most engagements run in 4–8 week sprints: parameter definition, landscape scan, experiments, peer review, and a final implementation blueprint or PoC.

Do clients own the R&D IP from Essen? +

Yes. All findings, scripts, and IP generated during the engagement are 100% client-owned. We also support hardware and IoT (protocols, edge computing).

What's the first step? +

Define the technical question or hypothesis you want to test; we propose a 4–8 week R&D sprint and deliverables.

How is the engagement structured? +

Engagements run in 4–8 week sprints with parameter definition, landscape scan, experiments, peer review, and a final implementation blueprint.
