Business and System Analysis
Analytics accelerates time-to-market, reduces costs, and minimizes the time required to onboard specialists for the project.
We link business needs with technological capabilities, taking into account requirements, limitations, and task implementation methods. The development team receives comprehensive documentation to understand all the intricacies of the system operation and implementation.
Our analysts hold international IREB certifications as «Certified Professionals for Requirements Engineering.»
We work with web and mobile applications, CRM and ERP systems, high-traffic websites, e-commerce platforms, and RBS systems. Our solutions utilize Machine Learning, Data Science, Low Code/No Code, cloud technologies, and integration with external services, including government ones.
What you will get
The absence of up-to-date project documentation poses risks of losing important information and hinders development and onboarding.
We create a user-friendly and manageable documentation structure. When specifying the requirements, we focus on the project and team, using graphical notations for business processes and system design (BPMN, IDEF0, EPC, UML). We document both functional and non-functional requirements. We adhere to GOST and ISO 9001:2015 standards.
This ensures the quick onboarding of new project team members, work transparency, and convenient supervision capabilities for management.
Well-defined functional and non-functional requirements enable companies to more precisely plan budgets and schedules. The analytics stage helps eliminate errors that could lead to product rework and resource overruns, thus reducing time-to-market.
Thanks to our extensive project portfolio, we have acquired expertise in various types of UX research. Through these research efforts, we prioritize features and ensure that they reflect the real needs of stakeholders. This helps us create sought-after solutions, increase the conversion rates of existing products, and enhance user loyalty.
When an analyst uncovers project requirements, they also investigate the client's business processes. In doing so, they devise the most pertinent solution while pinpointing bottlenecks. Based on their accumulated experience, the analyst can propose optimization options and suggest ways to improve process efficiency.

Technologies
We gave the customer a detailed report on the software audit and highlighted possible risks, which included these objects of the audit:
- current technological stack;
- product architecture and component model;
- current integration options;
- module for setting up and managing operational business processes;
- module for user, group and role access permission management.
The key project areas were identified:
- website redesign with preliminary analysis of customer needs;
- development of new functions of the website and administrative panel;
- refactoring of the leasing calculator and switching to another language for convenient support.
The existing calculator had to be transferred to PHP. This language was chosen to speed up development, as well as because of its popularity and a large community of experts. As a result, the calculator will be easy to support and update in the future.
The service included not only calculations, but also the interaction with 1C, as well as the processing of incoming requests from internal bank systems. For ease of integration with 1C, we implemented a compact module using php SoapClient.
We built versioning into the calculator to be able to recalculate data for old requests even after the subsequent change of formulas.
Our goal was to analyze the business idea of the project and create terms of reference for the creation of an IT system based on it. Together with the client, we discussed the idea of the future product, identified some possible difficulties in the implementation and offered the potential solutions.
For example, first, our partner planned to base the system on third-party platform modules written in a specialized programming language. At the same time, we found out that the final solution may not have the required technical capabilities. While using it, you need to look for developers with a quite narrow specialization and create the missing components from scratch.
We offered the client another way to implement the project, based on a WordPress CMS. WordPress modules met the technical requirements, and also allowed to significantly reduce the development time and avoid excessive restrictions.
Working back to back with the client, we managed to transform the initial business idea into a detailed technical description for further implementation of the project.
