Delivery Process Optimization
Delivery optimization is about organization to maximize business opportunities and reduce obstacles and inefficiencies through downstream processes. For example, an organization may adopt Agile software development as a standard for the entire organization. However, 70-80% of their project portfolio is about COTS (Components off the Shelf) integration. This share keeps growing. Therefore, imbalances will be unavoidable. As problems of this type are systemic in nature, their resolution requires a cohesive vision and a holistic approach, which includes the processes, roles, and produced artifacts. We use a proven process blueprint, which we will tailor to a unique culture of a client organization and help ensure the process is up and running smoothly. The improvements may include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
Fixing the cracks between various silos e.g. business lines, projects, professional practices;
​
-
Addressing the problem with undue information mining;
​
-
Setting up the right engagement model for architects and other roles with the goal of ensuring value delivery;
​
-
Reducing business continuation risk by re-engaging SME (Subject Matter Experts);
Agile Software Development
Agile software development is presented with a multitude of approaches. The effectiveness of a process implementation depends on many factors including the environment in which a team operates. For example, software development may be different between a small company and a large organization, as there are different sets of requirements for each including the environment in which they are operating and many other influencing factors.

IT Process And Workflow Automation
A workflow is an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of a business activity consisting of prescribed steps that a person or group must perform in order to produce work output. Software development and architecture are examples where workflow can be used effectively. Automated workflow reduces
processing time and manual errors while increasing efficiency and productivity. It also helps with increasing work transparency, while reducing the risks of delivery failures.
Our services include:
-
Assessment of client processes, discovery of opportunities for workflow automation, definition of tools and implementation options and ROI.
​
-
We help migrate processes to automated workflow and ensure the process is up and running
smoothly.
​
-
Workflow tools administration, training, and coaching.
Accelerated Product Portfolio Production
Software Product Lines (SPL) development is a method that allows manifold productivity gains during the development of software products that have many shared characteristics e.g. product platforms. This method, also called software manufacturing, works well when multiple products can be produced through relatively small increments or variances. For example, insurance products have many similar characteristics, which make them ideal for software manufacturing. SPL development utilizes a concept of software factory that provides code generators for producing large-scale and well organized, formatted, working, and component-tested code. Then, any missing functionality is added manually on top of an automatically generated and assembled base.
Our services include:​
-
Assessment of SPL opportunities based on each client’s products and product platform candidates
​
-
Development of an SPL factory and test-run to produce a product candidate
​
-
Migration of an existing product to SPL
