Hard Software

Hard Software provides battery systems, short term generation forecasting, training and consulting services for wind & solar farms. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Professional Services, Solar and Wind Energy, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Hard Software is based in Watertown, Massachusetts. Their site is hardsoftware.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

The facts above come from public company records. The score will come from people like you. Used Hard Software? Rate it.
