# OnePointDelta (also written One Point Delta) > OnePointDelta designs and engineers the software systems businesses operate on. Software systems for businesses that are ready to operate differently. Software is the delivery mechanism; systems are the product. ## About OnePointDelta - **Who are you?** OnePointDelta. - **What are you?** A software systems company. - **What do you build?** Business operating systems: custom software systems and AI-enabled operational infrastructure. - **Who do you build for?** Businesses whose existing software no longer reflects how they actually operate. - **What do you believe?** Software should model the operating reality of a business, not force the business into generic software. - **What makes you different?** We design the underlying system, not just interfaces or isolated AI features.
