Digital Business Transformation Services

The last few decades have seen our lives constantly change at an enormous pace. Starting with how we communicate, through how we search and shop for both products and services to the way businesses operate. Digital technologies affect almost every aspect of our reality, and it’s not a coincidence that companies of all scopes and sizes consider digital technology a crucial element of their strategies. But don’t just take our word for it –take a look at some statistics:

While digital transformation can significantly benefit your company, making the most of it is a challenge from the first planning meeting till the very end of the software development life cycle. Even though every company is different, and the digital strategy should be tailored to unique circumstances, employing the proven methods and tools described above in our one-and-only toolbox to match your exact needs is a blueprint for success. Over the years we’ve been able to identify 3 main steps, essential for successful digital transformation initiatives.

1. Digital transformation strategy
   We are aware that digital transformation is a complex process, that touches different organizational areas, and to make the most out of it the planning phase should include various stakeholders. Whether you strive to digitalize your products/services or improve operational processes through digitalization, it will surely affect numerous departments in your organization. Therefore, it’s crucial to establish a digital transformation strategy that will allow all of them to benefit from the change. Thus, before diving deep into coding, we start with workshops aimed at obtaining a complete understanding of your goals and business environment to craft a strategy that corresponds to your needs.
2. Agile software development
   Having created the strategy, we roll up our sleeves and start development. Depending on the scope of the work, we employ team/teams of specialists covering all the skills necessary to drive your digital transformation – ensuring that each aspect is managed with care. Working according to Agile principles, we know that even the best plan might require modifications, thus we keep everyone involved in the loop, and cooperate closely with our clients. This way they can be assured that, with each iteration, we provide as much value as possible and implement changes based on a short feedback loop to let them benefit the most from implementing digital technology.
3. Maintenance and growthAs the goal of ongoing digital transformation initiatives is to help your company grow, the work does not stop once the last line of code passes through tests and is deployed to production. The system should be always at operational speed, and most importantly grow with your company, since scalability is one of the top reasons for undertaking a digital transformation. Having the inside-out knowledge of your system, we are ready to effectively support it and keep expanding it – ensuring your competitive advantages are being leveraged while your business grows.

A digital transformation can be a challenging venture, requiring a lot of experience and a vast array of skills to be smoothly carried out.

2. Holistic approach that looks after every part of your businessUnfortunately, many companies approaching a digital transformation focus on one thing only – whether that’s a single business process (I.e. data analytics) or particular technology to be used. While in the short-term this approach might seem to work as the chosen part becomes digitalized, in the long run, it is highly ineffective.At the same time, companies that benefit the most out of a digital transformation rely on a far more holistic approach, both in terms of creating synergy and interconnection between all the parts of your business, and by choosing a technology-agnostic approach to software development. This means choosing technologies that work best, rather than the easiest ones to use. After all, tools are meant to work for you, not the other way around. This is the only way to ensure an rewarding digital experience.Only then will your entire company obtain the best results from digitalization, which propel businesses to the next level. And this is exactly the type of digital transformation services you should expect from Software Mind.
3. Skilled teams built around A-players that perfectly fit your needsSince, as we stated, an effective digital transformation strategy should impact almost every operational area, the team that carries out the process needs to have complementary skills and wide experience to ensure that their expertise maximizes results.Depending on the particular scenario, such a project may require BAs, Front and Backend developers, UX specialists, Data Scientists, Big Data and AI/ML experts and so on. Making compromises and expecting one person to handle diverse areas is a straight road to nowhere – especially in software development.Working with Software Mind, you can expect us to provide a balanced and flexible team with competencies that allow your business to thrive through its digital transformation. What’s more, we know that during the whole digital transformation life cycle, the skills required may changing. That’s why our flexible development teams deliver peace of mind that, at every step of the process you’re the team is perfectly suitable for the task at hand. Combining a vast array of skills with comprehensive experience, we provide digital transformation services at the highest level.
