The Magna Software Story

Magna Software was formed organically from collaborative software development projects and research based on new and emerging technologies since mid 2019.

We are a highly motivated group of experienced professional developers with decades of combined knowledge in legacy and modern frameworks, covering a wide range of business sectors. This has enabled us to develop an extensive library of Cloud based API components on microservices framework with corresponding portals and remote apps.

Cloud based legacy migration has increased in demand over the Covid period with business’s requiring remote working environments. We have helped a wide range of companies achieve this during and after that challenging time.

We have extensive knowledge and experience in Python, ReactJS, NodeJS, Java, Golang, Redis, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes and ELk technologies, legacy Win32/64 dev .Net, VB, Delphi, C/C++ to list a few…. But don’t just take our word for it, click here to see what our customers say!

A number of individuals in our team are experienced Blockchain developers and have been focusing on integrating this technology into existing and future projects.
We would love to hear from you to chat about cloud based systems, or to discuss the benefits of upgrading existing cloud infrastructures to newer more secure and powerful cloud environments.

We’re not about “reinventing the wheel”… just improving it!!
