At FVITS , we are ready to offer end-to-end development that covers everything from business analysis to software delivery and support, help modernize your legacy software, or provide expert advisory at any stage of SDLC.

Software quality controls

We adhere to coding standards and employ all-round software testing to maintain a quality management system at the level required by ISO 9001.

Meticulous scoping

We carefully analyze customer requirements to define the expected deliverables and accurately scope the project.

Realistic estimates

We factor in software complexity, tech stack sophistication, team’s expertise, and risks to introduce precise and objective estimates of the project’s duration and cost.

Mature risk management practices

We openly discuss potential risks and quickly tweak the development process to minimize schedule variations and waste.

Transparent service delivery

We set a tailored KPI system  to objectively evaluate cooperation efficiency and regularly report on the project progress.

Cultivation of software improvements

We proactively advise on new features,  UX and U improvements, competitive advantages to make the software your best investment.

Timely and exhaustive documentation

We thoroughly document the development process and software and consistently share the all the necessary documents with your stakeholders.

Tailored communication

We vary the frequency, means, level of detail, and format of communication depending on your stakeholders' preferences.

It takes from 2 weeks to:

• Document key business processes and how they’re covered with existing software.

• Prepare the list of software features and integrations.
• Draw up a project roadmap and major milestones.

For commercial software products, it additionally 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).
• Analyze the needs and wants of the target audience and create a product concept.
• Define product differentiation and formulate a unique selling proposition for a product to stand out from the competition.
