Mikhail Anfimau

Senior Solution Architect, Leo Burnett

With ScienceSoft, we've been able to reduce our development costs and decrease the timeline on new features and updates. ScienceSoft's attention to detail in how everything is documented and communicated is by far the best of any agency that I've worked with. The communication and agreement process when starting a new project has been by far the easiest to handle and most professional I've seen.

Bob Penland

CTO, TruMethods

Over the past 10 years we've worked on about ten mobile app development projects with ScienceSoft. It was our first encounter with an outsourcing company. The relationship turned out to be very good, so we saw no need to look for other suppliers.

How the service is delivered: from plan to value

For enterprises

Click to see the details on how we plan and deliver software for enterprises.

Planning / project concept and definition

It takes around 1-3 months to:

Document key business processes and how they’re covered with existing software.
Elicit business needs and concerns.
Analyze a broad business strategy that can affect architectural and tech choices
Draw up high-level functional and technical software requirements.
Evaluate risks of introduction new software introduction, e.g., impact on business processes.

Business case composition

It takes from 1 week to conduct cost-benefit analysis, estimate NVP, ROI.

Architecture, UX and UI design

It takes from 2 weeks to 3 months to:

Define architecture, data flow and integration points.
Conduct UX research, design wireframes, prototypes, and interface mockups.

Note: It can be more cost-effective and less risky to re-use parts of your existing enterprise systems than developing and implementing new software modules and enabling their communication with other systems. When you decide to re-use, reengineering, migration and modernization activities for the legacy software should be considered.

MVP launch (upon request)

The first working version of enterprise software of medium complexity can be delivered in 4 – 8 months. The first working version of startup software can be delivered in 2 – 4 weeks.

Development and testing

Agile delivery of new software parts in 2-week– 6-month releases.
Presentations (both internal and external) of functionality are conducted every time a feature is ready, well in advance before the end of the sprints.
You or your internal BA team confirm the functionality or request changes.
Continuous safe minor releases via automated CI/CD pipelines.

Note: Small, well-defined projects can also be delivered in a linear mode with one big bang release.

Deployment (and 3-month maintenance)

Switching to Kanban methodology for support activities (with advance notice).
Conducting workshops prior to UAT:
- walking you through the process of UAT
- walking you through the post-go-live process.
Defining new roles and responsibilities in your and our teams.

Note: A trial implementation is recommended for applications to minimize possible downtimes in production. The trial implementation is done for a limited number of users and requires comprehensive technical support in case any problems are encountered. Trial stages usually take up to 1-3 months.

Handover and closure / continuous support (on demand)

Conducting gate reviews, project evaluation reviews and audits.
Performing knowledge transfer.
Capturing, consolidating and analyzing lessons learned, accepting the final report and confirming the project closure.

For startups and ISVs

Click to see the details on how we plan and build software products.

Planning / project concept and definition

It takes from 3 weeks to:

Conduct competition analysis (competitors’ product features, pricing & monetization models, customer feedback analysis, customer acquisition strategy analysis, product efficiencies and drawbacks).
Define barriers to enter the market (including regulatory).

It takes from 2 weeks to:

Prepare the list of features and integrations.
Prepare the project roadmap with major milestones.
Prepare the required software portfolio.
Define the customer acquisition/conversion/retention strategy.
Define the monetization model.

Business case composition

It takes from 1 week to conduct cost-benefit analysis, estimate NVP, ROI.

Architecture, UX and UI design

It takes from 2 weeks to 3 months to:

Define architecture, data flow and integration points.
Conduct UX research, design wireframes, prototypes, and interface mockups.

Note: We recommend investing in the unique UI design only if the design is a competitive product advantage. Otherwise, use default themes and focus on software functionality.

Using cloud services (messaging services, analytics and AI services, image processing services, etc.) by well-established cloud providers, e.g., Azure and AWS.
Continuous feature prioritization.

Taking the deadlines seriously

Managing delivery time according to the set goals.
Promptly communicating delay risks.
