— We don't provide advice;
we conduct a comprehensive process for selecting IT solutions that are tailored to your business.
Who is it relevant to
For large and medium-sized enterprises, planning the implementation of large-scale and business-critical IT projects. It's essential to assess the economic feasibility of conducting a separate selection stage.
For small businesses, we are developing a distinct service.
Why do we specialize in IT solution selection?

According to the majority of research, up to 80%

of digitization projects are deemed unsuccessful.

A significant portion of these failures occurs during the initial stages, including the selection of IT solutions.

As a consequence, there are high risks for the further process of implementation,
for the entire digitalization project, and for the business as a whole:
More costs
Time-consuming
No result

Typical problems
while choosing ERP, CRM, MES, MDM, ESB, BI and other types of IT solutions
  • Insufficient expertise
    You are professionals in your business, but the implementation of digital solutions requires special knowledge and skills.
  • Description of requirements
    Gather business requirements, take into account non-functional requirements, and consider the peculiarities of IT architecture.
  • Incomplete search
    There are increasingly more IT solutions and their "producers". Catalogs, ratings, conferences provide only superficial information.
  • Alternative methods
    It's possible to search not for a vendor, but for a set of microservices or a complex of IT solutions. It's also feasible to find an unconventional solution.
  • Too expensive or time-consuming
    Licenses and implementation seem unjustifiably expensive. The implementation period is long. Is this objectively true?
  • No selection methodology
    The selection stage is not formalized. It's good if there is a comparison table in Excel.
  • Subjective choice
    Asked in a group of some messenger or social network, friends or acquaintances advised.
  • Supplier advertising
    Vendors, integrators, and other suppliers have their own sales departments and KPIs. They sell licenses or bill by the hour/day.
For CIO or CDTO
  • Lack of time to track all IT solutions emerging in the market.
  • Business is unable to provide clear requirements.
  • Absence of business analytics and overall limited resources.
  • Consultation with an IT architect is required.
  • A "second opinion" is necessary for aligning decisions with top management.
For foreign companies
  • Lack of knowledge about the local IT market.
  • Absence of clear sources of information about the Russian IT market.
  • The possibility of using foreign IT solutions, including those hosted abroad and the specifics of accessing them.
  • Peculiarities of legislation.
Our solution

FR-NFR, scenarios
Gather functional & non-f. requirements. Describe the main scenarios. Formulate questionnaires, RFI/RFP for suppliers.
Long list of IT solutions
Identify all possible solutions or their combinations to address the set tasks. Determine stop-filters.
Scoring
Work through the list of requirements with each participant. Receive completed questionnaires. Select 3 leaders.
Demo / Team feedback
Conduct demo sessions of the solutions. Gather demo evaluations from the working group.
Feedback from the expert
Conduct consultations with experts who have real experience working with the selected solutions.
IT architecture
Integrate the selected IT solutions with the company's IT architecture.
Presentation
Summarizing the outcomes and presenting the results.

  • A broad perspective on problem

Over 160 projects

Experience working with dozens of top vendors and integrators

Requested with the selection phase:
Economic feasibility study
Calculation of the economic effect from the implementation of an IT solution. Digitalization guarantees high expenses, but can it promise revenues?
Budget estimation
During the selection stage, information on the cost of licenses is gathered. As a separate stage, an evaluation of implementation, training, and support is conducted.
Road map
Digitalization is a lengthy process. After the systems are selected, the stages of work, timelines for implementation, training, and support are specified.
Search for meanings
Clients often express their query as: "I don't know what digitalization will bring to my business. I don't know where to start." Without detailed economic calculations, lists of IT solutions, or buzzwords like IoT, blockchain, AI, etc., we find meaningful solutions.
Quick solutions
If you are not ready for large investments in business digitalization but want to test 1-2 hypotheses where digital solutions can solve your tasks, we can select IT solutions for quick pilots based on MVP.
* This approach has its limitations.
Supervision
We enhance the quality of communication between the business and IT contractors. We ensure control over the work, fulfillment of assigned tasks, and adherence to commitments made during the selection stage. In essence, we identify responsible parties, if necessary.
We would like to remind you:
mistakes in the early stages of a project, including the IT solution selection phase, will negatively impact the entire project, which could last from several months to several years.
