Technology Consulting

Technology Consulting
We strategize using technology to realize unprecedented value for your business, and gain invaluable insights to your specific problems with our carefully-crafted designs.
New concept development
With our systematic approach for generating innovative ideas, we deal with the problem at hand with our eyes set firmly on the future. While developing a business-effectiveness strategy, we create sustainable solutions. We work closely with our clients to understand their metrics and create a proof-of-concept meeting their gold standards. By constantly working to improve the process, we prioritize our clients’ business demands and build the solution that drives tangible value.
Business process automation
Building automation processes to streamline your complex business processes and achieve simplicity, improve efficiency, and minimize costs, all while having the necessary risk mitigation controls in place is a core skill we bring to the table. We drive process improvements to boost productivity, to ensure best practices are implemented and to make the processes error-proof. By incorporating appropriate tools and processes, we create unparalleled automated workflows to route the right information to the right people at the right time, to make the lives of employees and clients better.
Project management consulting
There's no denying that each project is one-of-a-kind, as are the complexities that come with it. We approach the project management process in a systematic yet flexible manner. This allows us to help you choose the project management style - agile or hybrid - that best suits your project. We maintain focus on identifying a clear and achievable objective through our consulting, while mapping out the stages required to achieve that goal and allocating resources to effectively support the progress through those processes. We apply our risk assessment and mitigation skills to each step to meet any complications wherever and whenever they arise. Our knowledge, based on the lessons learned from previous experiences, enables us to respond with agility to issues and manage the project efficiently.
Platform and product consulting
We firmly believe that there is no such thing as over-preparation. Effective strategy is the first step in preventing and managing uncertainty. We leverage our experiences in B2C, B2B, Cloud and multi-tenant SaaS systems that have helped us deal with the intricacies of setting realistic strategic goals. Our design thinking is built into every aspect of the project - business analysis, user experience design, architecture, execution plan and how it all fits together - all built on the principle of iteration and continuous improvement. We create the most efficient and effective path to achieve the objective, with our continuous feedback loop integral to our processes.
SaaS consulting
We bring stability to the IT product ecosystem by adopting SaaS strategy. We construct an all-around view, by leveraging our expertise on a wide range of sectors and pooling our knowledge. We retain our clients’ fundamental value propositions while still catering to the unique demands of each one through the SaaS model. We have learnt from our experience developing SaaS systems that complying with regulations that constantly change expectations is not an option. For us, the key to establishing a successful SaaS model is maintaining scalability, data resilience, and a customer-centric approach at every level.

Product Design

Product Design
We design a meaningful user experience and craft actionable solutions, thanks to our expertise in Design Thinking.
Product design is where we carefully bridge the user needs with business needs by ensuring that the aesthetics and thought process of B2C apps are applied in enterprise apps. While most vendors assume employees have no choice but to use the enterprise software, we believe in making that adaptation easier with intuitive designs.
User experience
We drive sales and customer satisfaction by delivering meaningfully-designed, user-centric solutions that enhance and delight your customers. This requires a thorough understanding of the users, their needs, testing, analysis and design iterations. Solutions built with user experience at the core have proven to have a greater degree of adoption and satisfaction along with a shorter time to market. Through early design iterations, this approach of solution building ensures a high-quality end product that saves cost in the development cycle. We can help you to brainstorm and build your own user-centric solutions.
User interface
We boost your lead generation with applications that have an aesthetically appealing and engaging user interface. A thoughtfully-designed, simple and intuitive user interface is key to building delightful products that users love to use. This, in turn, becomes the base for user retention and brand loyalty. What’s more, the simplicity of the interface is also a major driver in reducing customer support costs. We are dedicated to building solutions with elegant and intuitive interfaces.
We create a better understanding of your data better with meaningful visualizations. Data visualizations are necessary to ensure that important insights aren’t lost. These make data accessible by preventing data saturation, ensuring that the users aren’t overwhelmed or fatigued by large data volumes. They also greatly improve the efficiency of decision-making by disclosing and prioritizing insights relevant to the business and help the users cut through the clutter.  Incorporating data visualizations not only brings about a greater clarity to the business processes, but it also reduces the cost by increasing the efficiency of operations.  We’ll enable you to spot trends, outliers, patterns and more with relative ease with our thoughtful visualizations.
Solution architecture
Building solutions for complex client needs is a skill we have honed over many years. Having worked closely with clients across several domains, we have built necessary technical competence, learned to deliver performance, develop flexibility and ensure security in the architecture of the tools that we deliver. Our specialists come with a host of expertise that ranges from integrating ready-made solutions to building custom-builds for any client need.
Cloud transformation strategy
Using Cloud solutions, we can help you transform and optimize your business. These solutions bring a series of benefits with them that include a big reduction in IT infrastructure costs, minimal latency in your solutions anywhere in the world, high-speed scaling, low development cost and high-grade security, ensured by providers such as Amazon and Google. By implementing cloud solutions, you can focus your energy on the core of your business rather than wasting time and cost-managing IT infrastructure. With the help of certified professionals in cloud services, we can help you choose the cloud solution that best suits your needs and ensure a smooth transition into a cloud platform that will revolutionize your solutions.
Quality assurance strategy
We ensure that your solutions are free of imperfections. A Quality Assurance Strategy is important to evaluate solutions from multiple perspectives and scrutinize them to eliminate technical issues. A sound QA strategy not only saves cost by shedding light on any oversight, but also adds value by revealing considerations that may give rise to new opportunities. Our Quality Assurance Strategy will not only help you eliminate technical issues, but it will also help you improve your user-experience and your overall offering.
