How we develop your custom platform strategy – and new business models

A successful platform project always begins with a thorough analysis—and doesn’t end until the solution is firmly embedded in your company and leveraged for new business opportunities. Our methodological approach consists of multiple phases, during which we work closely with all relevant stakeholders and teams.

 




1.
Assessment &
Kick-off

  • Requirements Analysis: Together, we define the key goals and challenges (e.g. innovation, time-to-market, cost reduction, modernization of legacy systems).
  • Stakeholder Interviews: We engage CTOs, IT leads, business units, and management to gain a comprehensive perspective.
  • Technical Overview: We assess your current IT landscape, existing systems, as well as security and compliance requirements.


Outcome: A clear understanding of the status quo and objectives—forming the foundation for all subsequent steps.

2.
Strategic Alignment & Roadmap

  • Goal Definition: Together, we develop a clear vision for your platform strategy: Which technologies and services are critical for your future business success?
  • Business Evaluation: Assessing the value (e.g. cost savings, market advantage, risk minimization) to support well-informed investment decisions.
  • Prioritization & Roadmapping: Creating a time-aligned roadmap that balances short-term quick wins with long-term development goals.


Outcome: A tailored strategy that clearly defines where you want to go, when each step will take place, and why it will be worth it.

3.
Architecture & Proof of Concept

  • Architecture Design: Development of a scalable architecture that meets high security, compliance, and performance requirements.
  • Piloting: New technologies or processes are tested in a controlled environment early on to validate feasibility and efficiency.
  • Change Management: We ensure that all stakeholders are involved at the right time—fostering acceptance and preventing resistance.


Outcome: A validated architecture and technology foundation, tested in real-world scenarios and ready for the next stage.


4.
Implementation & Scaling
