Our Process
Remaining Lythe, Agile, Lean, Elastic, and Disruptive Throughout Your Product’s Lifecycle
Lythe, Agile, Lean, Elastic, and Disruptive are often among the terms used to describe the business and technology teams of SMEs who are innovating and succeeding in the tech sector. And when your team is new, and your product is young, and in that pre-commercialization stage you can often live up to these values as you start moving through the Technology Readiness Levels (TRL).
But a trend we repeatedly see is that as new SMEs approach TRL-9 or beyond, and begin to commercialize their MVP, the added pressures of ensuring that their application supersedes the competition increase sharply. Whether pressure comes through product differentiation, or by adding value through functionality, there are are also responsibilities of meeting regulatory and compliance standards, and its often at this point that Product and Software Development Team costs soar.
If you’re in the B2B SaaS sector you want to exceed your competition in the market by building a product that is admired and trusted by your clients. They need to know your system enables their business to save money, increase revenue, and satisfy their customers’ demands because of the intelligence and reliability of your solution. But to do this and sustain high quality, such that your clients promote your service, your product has to not only meet the market’s current needs, it has to continually be evolving to become the standard the competition starts to follow.
It’s at this juncture where additional labour costs to increase throughput often occur and the debate between integrating third party services can become a tangled web of complex decisions that you and your leadership team have to make. We have developed methods to support our clients through this process such that they can build a sustainable solution by working with us through five distinct phases.
