Business Development

Growing and expanding your business require locating the right investors, the right technical partners and the right sales and marketing channels.

Quality Management

From requirements to customer support quality should be part of everything your organization is doing. Yet, in many cases it is neglected to meet deadlines and commitments. It doesn’t have to be the case.

Program Management

A successful SCRUM rollout, an ISO 9000 certification or an agile R&D metrics implementation are just a few examples to what an effective PMO can contribute to your business.

Customer Support

As your business grow you need to support more customers and balance between new development and maintenance. Effective incident and problem management processes are critical.

Methodology and Practice Areas

No matter what size is your company, from a start-up to a Fortune 500 company, there are certain activities, as listed below, that are key to the success of any software development organization. Each one of these is complex, combined from various processes, activities and functions. Each also has its unique characteristic when implemented in your your business.

As a first step, we will conduct short discovery sessions with you and your team. We will map your organization processes to a reference model we developed. We will identify the processes most critical to your success which do not exist or do not performing well. This exercise is taking into consideration your company’s unique characteristics such as its size, maturity level, people skills, global presence and so on.

Then, working closely with the relevant teams, we will define and optimize these critical processes. When appropriate we will leverage methodologies such as lean-six-sigma. However, there are no out-of-the-box solutions. Together, we will define the right level of activities that best matches your organization’s culture, maturity and needs.

Last but not least, in order to ensure sustainability and management, we will put in place several lightweight, yet efficient, business controls such as periodic metrics dashboard, Quarterly Business Reviews and more.

A well defined strategy drives focus and alignment across your organization. Portfolio management will translate it to a detailed execution plan identifying investment areas, M&A, budget and more .

Core to your organization, their success depends on hiring the best people, well defined objectives, close collaboration, clear roles & responsibilities, well defined work processes and productive software tools.

Operations & IT

Operations support is crucial to your teams’ success. Proper budget planning and tracking, timely purchasing, third party software licensing, patent applications and more. In particular, highly effective IT virtual infrastructure and productive tools will remove waste and increase productivity.

Offshoring & Outsourcing

Not optional anymore, deploying successful offshore operations and leveraging outsourcing companies are important means to reduce cost and increase flexibility of your business. However, both can easily go wrong when not implemented and managed properly.
