SKALAR's analytical expertise is the foundation of the project's success

For the implementation of complex IT projects, a strong analytical approach and experience in developing high-load, fault-tolerant systems are required. According to industry experts, up to 80% of a project's success is determined at the planning and analytics stage. That is why at SKALAR, experienced analysts work at the initial stage, meticulously studying your business and formulating requirements for the future solution. The years of accumulated experience enable us to immediately see the best ways to achieve your goals.

Analysts at SKALAR thoroughly evaluate your business processes, identify bottlenecks, and uncover opportunities for optimization. The result of this analytical work is a formalized set of requirements for the system. We pay special attention to the quality of the input documentation and prepare key documents that define the direction of the project:

BRD (Business Requirements Document) – a business requirements document. It describes the goals and objectives of the project from a business perspective: what problem the proposed solution should solve, what results the company expects, and what limitations and risks exist.
FRD (Functional Requirements Document) – a functional requirements document. It specifies the functions and features that the system must have to satisfy the business requirements. It details what exactly the software should do, how these functions will operate, and the criteria used for acceptance of the outcome.
PRD (Product Requirements Document) – a comprehensive product requirements document. It combines both business and functional requirements into a single specification for the future solution. The PRD describes all aspects of the system: functionality, UX/UI, technical specifications, performance requirements, security, integrations, and other important details necessary for development and further operation.

Thanks to the carefully prepared documentation at the start, all project participants – the client, analysts, developers, and designers – are on the same informational page. This reduces the likelihood of errors in later stages of development, saves time and budget, and ultimately ensures the successful implementation of the project.

Key Stages of the IT Consulting Process

Identifying and Prioritizing Business Goals

We start by deeply immersing ourselves in your business: conducting interviews with stakeholders, studying the companys strategic goals, and identifying the key challenges that need to be addressed. Clear prioritization helps steer the work in the right direction from the very beginning.

Analyzing and Formalizing Business Processes

Our business analysts examine current company processes and determine which can be optimized through IT solutions. As a result, a visual model of processes is created, serving as the foundation for designing the future system.

Gathering and Defining Functional Requirements

Based on the updated business processes, we compile a list of required system functionalities. We thoroughly describe the future solution’s logic, data processing, and necessary modules—essentially forming the technical specifications.

Developing Architecture and Project Documentation

System analysts and architects at SKALAR create the solution’s architecture, select the optimal technology stack, and plan the database structure. Simultaneously, project documentation is prepared, including product descriptions, interface prototypes, security requirements, and other technical specifications.

Implementation Planning

A detailed project execution plan is developed, broken down into phases: development, testing, deployment, and staff training. We determine the necessary resources, team roles, and workflow sequence to ensure a smooth and efficient implementation.

Cost Estimation and Budget Approval

Based on detailed requirements, we calculate the project budget with a clear allocation of costs across different phases. You receive a transparent estimate with no hidden expenses, minimizing budget overrun risks—every cost is agreed upon in advance.

Solution Implementation and Quality Control

If you entrust us with the implementation phase, our development team ensures the solution is built following the highest coding standards. Regular code reviews and functional testing are performed. QA engineers conduct multi-level testing to guarantee the system’s quality and reliability.

Deployment, Support, and Continuous Improvement

The completed solution is deployed in a live environment and integrated with your existing systems. If needed, we provide staff training. Our team offers full technical support, timely updates, and functionality expansions to support your business growth.

At each of these stages, the project is under the close supervision of SKALAR experts. This systematic approach to IT initiatives ensures predictable results and minimizes risks. You can be confident that by entrusting us with IT consulting, you gain a partner who delivers a turnkey project—from concept to the stable operation of implemented solutions in your business.
