What Code Development does

Code Development Ltd (CDL) is a UK-registered, family-owned enterprise software company founded in 1997 that develops and sells automation and AI tools to large enterprise customers running complex back-office systems. The company is headquartered in London and operates across the US and Europe, with a publicly disclosed customer set that includes Rolls-Royce, Siemens, BaFin, Serco, Amentum, Network Rail, Amey, and ISS across aerospace, industrial manufacturing, financial regulation, government, transportation, and facilities management. CDL is led by founder Dusko Delic (Managing Director and Product Owner), Alexander Delic (Director of Business Operations), and CRO Geraint Thomason, whose prior executive roles were at IBM, EMC, and Colt Telecom.

The company sells two proprietary products. MaxTAF is a cloud-based enterprise IT automation platform that delivers pro-code test automation across IBM Maximo, Salesforce, and any web or API-based technology; it was first prototyped in 2010, launched commercially in 2012, and migrated to a cloud delivery model in 2021. Interpretos, launched in 2025, is an AI-powered natural language interface that enables users to query live enterprise data in Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, and IBM Maximo using plain English, with an on-premise deployment architecture designed to keep data within the customer's network. The portfolio is supported by ISO 27001 certification, IBM Partner Plus Silver status, and an on-premise-first security posture targeted at regulated industries.

Revenue is generated through subscription-based software licensing for both cloud and on-premise deployments, priced on a quote-based enterprise basis with annual billing. CDL runs an enterprise field-sales motion with dedicated demo and enquiry forms for each product, alongside self-service product websites at maxtaf.com and interpretos.ai, and an emerging partnership/reseller channel. The company is privately held, with no disclosed institutional funding, M&A activity, or subsidiaries.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Worksoft: Specialist in enterprise test automation for SAP, Oracle, Workday, and other complex ERP systems. Closest niche competitor to MaxTAF for automating tests across large EAM/ERP installations.
• Tricentis: Enterprise test automation platform (Tricentis Tosca) used across large ERP, SAP, and Salesforce estates. Most directly comparable to MaxTAF in terms of customer profile, integration breadth, and enterprise test-automation positioning.

Emerging players

• MuleSoft (Salesforce): Integration and API platform (now part of Salesforce) that connects enterprise systems including ERP, CRM, and on-premise data sources. Comparable to CDL's system-integration and on-premise data-access positioning, particularly relevant given MaxTAF's Salesforce integration.
• Workato: Enterprise automation and integration platform connecting ERP, CRM, and SaaS systems. Comparable in horizontal enterprise integration/automation, especially for organizations that want to avoid heavy custom code.
• Moveworks: Enterprise AI copilot that lets employees ask natural-language questions across enterprise systems. Most directly comparable to Interpretos in the 'plain-English queries against live enterprise data' category, though delivered as cloud SaaS rather than on-premise.
• Celonis: Process mining and execution management platform that pulls live data from ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) to surface operational insights. Comparable in the 'make enterprise data usable' theme, though with a process-mining rather than NLP-on-prem angle.

Broad incumbents

• Talon (formerly Micro Focus / OpenText Application Testing): Enterprise application lifecycle and test tooling suite (formerly Silk, LoadRunner, UFT) used by large enterprises for cross-application testing. Comparable as an incumbent in the enterprise testing automation category.
• UiPath: Large-scale RPA and automation platform used by global enterprises to automate processes across SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, and other systems. Comparable as a broader enterprise automation incumbent with overlapping enterprise buyer profile.
• Eggplant (Keysight Technologies): AI-driven test automation platform from Keysight used across enterprise and digital channels. Comparable as an incumbent in automated testing for complex enterprise applications.
• IBM watsonx / IBM Maximo Application Suite: IBM's own AI and Maximo product portfolio, of which CDL is a Partner Plus Silver member. Comparable both as a partner and as a competitive threat if IBM ships native automation/AI features that displace third-party tooling.
