Digital Transformation

At this step, we:

• Get an overall business picture: size, geographical presence, major processes, business model(s), product/service lines, supply chains, finance.
• Find out business goals and a planned roadmap for further company development. As the vision of different stakeholders may differ, we consolidate the opinions and ultimately advise on how the strategy may be tuned in view of digital transformation.
• Define business areas subject to transformation and study them thoroughly using business process assessment, interviews, problems/goals decomposition, value stream mapping.
• Identify areas of waste:
  • Time and energy waste for manual, repetitive, excessive activities.
  • Defects in end products or processes and costs associated with their correction.
  • Irrational use of assets or space.
  • Miscommunication, poorly coordinated activities between employees.
  • Wasted data.

At this step, we:

• Set up long-term digital transformation goals.
• Prioritize goals based on the expected impact and urgency.
• Plan a sequence of manageable initiatives taken to achieve the goals.
• Appraise each initiative in terms of cost, time, and manpower requirements.

We help with:

• IT infrastructure transformation to reduce costs and enable technology-driven innovation.
• Implementation of new software aimed to bring the required improvements to business processes.
• Transformation of existing software solutions to align them with the current business needs, make more maintainable and user-friendly.
• Integration of business systems internally and with third-party apps and services.
• Setup of data analytics of the required complexity, from descriptive data analysis to data science.
• Digital testing tailored specifically to digital transformation projects and covering end-to-end functional, integration, performance, security, usability, and data migration testing.

Throughout the entire digital transformation, we control the risks of:

• Operational complexity to prevent user-unfriendliness in apps or overcomplicated processes hard to adopt.
• Unresponsiveness or lagging performance of business apps caused by improper architecture.
• Vulnerabilities in a cybersecurity system.
• Data leakage or data confidentiality breaches.
• Non-compliance of digital solutions with sectoral regulations.
• Cost and time overruns.

We concert all the activities planned for digital transformation and help:

• Coordinate multiple autonomous teams.
• Manage the costs and achieve maximum business value for the given budget.
• Establish the practice of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD).
• Manage delivery deadlines and mitigate possible delays.
• Report on the digital transformation progress.
• Tune the digital transformation strategy amid the implementation in case of altering circumstances.
