Performance improvement over a commercial scheduling application
Technical Solutions — Healthcare Services
A client in the healthcare services sector was running a commercial scheduling application that was too slow for their operational needs and too expensive to justify at their scale. Zed Foundry designed and built a custom replacement tailored to their specific workflow, deployed it in production, and delivered a 14x improvement in application responsiveness. The client eliminated the commercial license cost and gained a system built around how they actually operate.
View all work →The Difference
The principal does the work. No junior staff, no hand-off after the proposal. You get 30 years of product and technical experience applied directly to your problem.
Current, hands-on experience with MDR, XDR, EDR, endpoint security, and enterprise security go-to-market. Not general technology consulting applied to security.
Claude Code, ChatGPT, and related tools are embedded in every engagement. Research, documentation, and development move faster without sacrificing quality.
Engagements produce tangible outputs. Roadmaps, competitive analyses, whitepapers, and working software. Not just recommendations.

The gap between what AI-native consulting can now deliver and what traditional consulting still delivers is not a future trend. It is the current state of the market.
