You wouldn't stand trial without a lawyer

Solveware Advisory Services

More than just a contract development shop, we can provide value to your business through our advisory services, even if the project is out of scope for our team.

If you’re contracting dev work for your business or startup, it’s likely you are doing so because you don’t have the internal technical expertise to build it yourself. If that’s the case, it is imperative you have someone who does looking out for your interests. Just like you wouldn’t go to trial without a lawyer, you shouldn’t shop development bids without an advocate.

This is where Solveware’s advisory service comes in. In exchange for a limited monthly retainer, one of our experts will sit in on both internal and external meetings to augment internal decision-making and negotiate with external parties from a position of experience and authority.

Case Study: ABC Industries

A startup client working on a B2G SaaS product was taking bids for a large-scale, AI/ML software development build. They had a large budget and a strong sales team working on pre-orders, but they lacked internal technical expertise and needed to outsource development. Although the full build was out-of-scope for our in-house development, we were brought in by ABC (as we’ll call them) to assess each bid’s timeline, realism, and pricing, because they had no means to assess the credibility of each bidding team on their own.

Solveware’s technical specialists also sat in on each external meeting, alongside ABC’s decision-makers, to probe the technical depth of the bidding team and ensure the right questions were being asked, before our client potentially made any financial commitments. As it turned out, several of the bidding teams had limited understanding of the AI/ML concepts they proposed to implement, and, when pressed, could not make any reasonable assurances from first principles that their development would even work, let alone meet the timeframe specified. Over the course of our engagement, Solveware was able to refine ABC’s internal plans, such that subsequent bids relied less on the architectural planning of outsourced development teams and more on their actual strongsuit: implementation.

Our advisory service not only streamlined the bidding process but gave our client peace of mind in a process where mistakes run in the six-figures. If you’re going through a similar process, or you want to find out how AI could supercharge or help automate your business, reach out to us for a free 30-minute consultation – we’d love to meet you!
