Talk to Our Experts What We Do

How our Software Consulting Process Works

1. Identify Problems and Challenges

Our most-requested service is requirements definitions for new functionalities or applications. We help you contextualize how those enhancements might fit into your system or how to create a new one.

2. Ideate Solutions

Our business analysts work directly with you to define user needs and desired outcomes for new functionality or applications. In this phase, our experts provide you with a solution and an implementation plan. With a clear strategy, you’ll know how to be one step ahead of your competitors.

3. Create Roadmaps

We collaborate with you in working sessions that can last between one and one-and-a-half hours. We walk you through user types, required workflows, and outcomes. Softjourn's business analysts define workflows and functionality in both visual and text formats so you can easily see how your new app or functionality will work.

4. Implement Improvements

Once we complete the planning phase, the next step is implementing the improvements or developing your entirely new solution. Our IT consulting services will give you a new perspective on your business model and help you resolve technology challenges that your organization is likely to face.

Engagement Models

Are you in need of technical skills or expertise? A dedicated team of experts can help extend resources and can work seamlessly with your company under your guidance or ours. This model is ideal when planning long-term or larger scope development projects, having a pool of tasks, or having a clear vision of future project objectives.

Fixed cost pricing is best suited for projects with a strictly defined scope that won’t change. The main advantage of this approach is that it allows clients to plan and set an exact budget. If a project is still undefined, we can also work with you to develop high-level specs. Once agreed upon, we send a proposal that provides a snapshot of time, costs, team structure, and deliverables.

This model usually applies for prototypes when a client, and thus our developers, don’t have a clearly defined scope. The client pays for work completed based on agreed-upon benchmarks, plays a greater role in the IT consulting process, and carries all risks related to the scope of work. Every client is assigned a team of experts and is billed for actual time accrued.
