Product Strategy, Design, and Development

Product Strategy

We know that getting your next product, or software project, off of the ground is no easy feat.  There are many things to consider as you get started. Do you have the right market fit? Do you have the team to pull it off?  Can the product be priced in a way that is viable?  Can I release the product on time, and what features need to be in the first release?  Do I have the right technology platforms to deliver a usable product?  It can be overwhelming.  Our people have successfully delivered, and helped others deliver, enterprise class, customer focused software products for decades.  We can quickly drop in, provide team and individual mentorship and coaching, fill gaps in your leadership team, share our knowledge and perspective, and then get out of your way, available when you need us.

Product Design & Prototyping

Often software projects do not have an appropriate emphasis on user experience and interface design.  Dev teams responsible for the end user UI frequently don’t have access to design resources.  Poor design can frustrate customers, waste effort, and doom products, but there is another way.  We help you transform your approach from engineering led, to “design first”, where design drives feature development and overall customer experience.  From point advise and process transformation, through full design outsourcing and prototyping, we can help, regardless of where you are in  embracing product design in your organization.

Product Development Strategy & Coaching

From shifting technology platforms, to transformations in how software teams build and manage their projects, it can be overwhelming for business leaders, and other non-technical stakeholders to understand what is happening in their engineering organizations.  With decades of product development and business leadership experience under our belts, we speak the languages of business and tech with equal proficiency, and we can help bridge those gaps in understanding.  Whether you want some help transitioning to agile practices, or you need help evaluating an acquisition target’s team and technology, we are ready.

Project Outsourcing

Digital transformation will ultimately touch every area of your business, and there is compelling value for those forward leaning organizations.  Attempting to tackle every technology project, or product opportunity, with your core team is often not feasible, and often equally imprudent. You may even have one or two high value, low priority, non-core projects your team just can’t seem to get to. Let us help, and keep your in-house team focused on what they do best. Our team has been successfully delivering scalable, secure enterprise and consumer software products and projects across a variety of delivery models (SaaS, mobile, and on premise), and we are ready to help carry your next project from concept through production.
