Transform application with the user in mind

00:00 → 00:03

Software modernization stands for business disturbance.

00:03 → 00:05

That's what many companies think,

00:05 → 00:08

so they stay with outdated systems that one day can

00:08 → 00:10

completely disable the business.

00:10 → 00:14

The truth is modernization doesn't have to stop your growth.

00:14 → 00:18

In fact, the business outcome should always be a priority and

00:18 → 00:21

the business needs should drive system changes.

00:21 → 00:24

I'm Magda, a business analyst at Merixstudio.

00:24 → 00:28

In this video, I'll show you how to modernize and grow

00:28 → 00:29

at the same time.

00:29 → 00:32

Software modernization is all about changes,

00:32 → 00:35

but it's not only the software that needs to change.

00:35 → 00:39

Usually, it results in broader transformation within internal

00:39 → 00:42

processes or users' behavior.

00:42 → 00:44

And sometimes even the company's structure and

00:44 → 00:45

business performance.

00:45 → 00:48

Profound preparation and a well thought out plan determine the

00:48 → 00:51

success of software modernization.

00:51 → 00:53

That's why we've created an extended pre development

00:53 → 00:58

process that enables us to set the base for project delivery.

00:58 → 01:01

Our user centric software modernization process starts at

01:01 → 01:03

project discovery.

01:03 → 01:07

The big picture projections help us understand your product better.

01:07 → 01:10

It's time for us to gain deep knowledge of your product

01:10 → 01:12

and business processes.

01:12 → 01:14

Before we start,

01:14 → 01:18

we research your competitors and collect industry insights.

01:18 → 01:22

We also focus on identifying and learning your modernization goals.

01:22 → 01:24

How do we do it?

01:24 → 01:27

Often during an online or in house workshop session with a

01:27 → 01:29

team that would work on your project.

01:29 → 01:32

We can also discuss it during a few video calls.

01:32 → 01:34

Then we can move on to the next step,

01:34 → 01:37

which is about the user and tech discovery.

01:37 → 01:40

Our UX designers focus on analyzing your system from the

01:40 → 01:42

user perspective.

01:42 → 01:46

They conduct UX research and audits to analyze how

01:46 → 01:48

users interact with your product.

01:48 → 01:51

They choose the right research tools depending on whether your

01:51 → 01:55

product is meant for internal purpose or rather

01:55 → 01:56

for external users.

01:56 → 02:00

On the other hand, our software architecture engineering

02:00 → 02:03

analysts assess your system from the technical side.

02:03 → 02:06

They focus on architecture and technology used

02:06 → 02:08

for implementation.

02:08 → 02:11

The third step focuses on the future vision.

02:11 → 02:15

Modernization is always teamwork, so we organize a few

02:15 → 02:18

day workshop session which helps us to combine knowledge

02:18 → 02:22

gathered by UX designers and software architects with your

02:22 → 02:24

goals and expectations.

02:24 → 02:29

This leads us to create a concept of a new solution for your product.

02:29 → 02:30

In the last step,

02:30 → 02:34

we come to a conclusion about the modernization strategy you should choose.

02:34 → 02:38

We provide you with modernized software architecture design.

02:38 → 02:41

Together with you, we prepare the modernization roadmap.

02:41 → 02:45

It's kind of a signpost that shows you how to come from

02:45 → 02:46

current to future.

02:46 → 02:49

It consists of three parts, a short term detailed plan,

02:49 → 02:53

a long term strategy, and priorities for further development.

02:53 → 02:55

When everything is set,

02:55 → 02:57

our experts will work on modernizing your product

02:57 → 03:00

without interrupting business operations.

03:00 → 03:03

Moving your focus a little bit away from the system itself and

03:03 → 03:06

putting more action on the business logic will help you

03:06 → 03:08

modernize efficiently and seamlessly.

03:08 → 03:12

Working on modernizing the software should be based on

03:12 → 03:13

knowledge exchange.

03:13 → 03:15

You know your system inside out,

03:15 → 03:18

we can provide you with the best talents,

03:18 → 03:21

the newest technologies and proven processes that will

03:21 → 03:23

reduce risks and costs.

03:23 → 03:26

Don't let your outdated system block you.

03:26 → 03:30

Transform it the way it can support your growth and not disturb it.

03:30 → 03:33
