AgileWorks

What AgileWorks does

Agile Works is a privately held software consulting firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The company provides professional services across six practice areas: Software Architecture, Web Development, Data Services, Agile Development, Domain Design, and Team Coaching. Its core specialization is the Microsoft .NET platform, with particular depth in building high-performance, distributed, and scalable web applications, as well as implementing 24 Microsoft Cloud Design Patterns (including Cache-aside, Circuit Breaker, CQRS, and Event Sourcing) and 10 cloud guidance topics for Azure-based architectures. The firm also offers supporting expertise in SQL Server, MySQL, MongoDB, Couchbase, WCF, and Service Oriented Architecture.

The company is founder-led by Andriy Solovey, who serves as Founder, Lead Developer and Architect, and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through direct, quote-based consulting engagements with enterprise clients in North America (primarily Canada, with some United States presence). The firm also offers a standalone product called Catalog Machine, a product catalog management solution, though this appears to be a secondary line of business rather than the core revenue driver. Marketing is conducted primarily through a technical blog covering Microsoft technologies, Single Page Application architecture, and cloud design patterns.

Agile Works has no institutional funding, no disclosed parent company, no documented acquisitions or partnerships, and no management team beyond the founder listed in the available data. The firm appears to operate as a boutique, founder-driven consultancy focused on deep technical expertise in the Microsoft ecosystem rather than as a scaling services platform. Its customer base is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of large anchor clients, retainer contracts, or institutional go-to-market infrastructure.
