How IT services companies deliver client applications faster

Fixed-price application projects lose margin on hand-coded screens and on change requests. Building on a configuration platform turns that work into configuration, so the same delivery team completes more client projects.

Where the margin goes

In a typical client project for forms, approvals and field work, most effort goes into building and re-building screens, validation rules and approval routes. Each change request re-opens code that has already been tested.

The work is also repeated from client to client: similar onboarding screens, similar approval chains, similar integrations with OTP, identity and payment services.

How the delivery changes

  • Start from the client's requirement document; the platform configures the first stage for your team to review.
  • Show the client a working screen on web and phone in the first days, not a document.
  • Absorb change requests by changing configuration, often in hours.
  • Reuse screens, workflows and service registrations from earlier projects as the starting point for the next client.

Keeping clients separate

Each client's application runs on its own configuration and its own database, so data never mixes between clients. The client can keep changing the application after hand-over, and your team can offer ongoing enhancement as a service.

A practical first project

Choose a client process with clear stages, such as customer onboarding with document upload, a check against an outside service and an approval. A process like this is a good test of screens, workflow, integrations and mobile together, and typically goes live in about 30 days.

Questions

Can one delivery team serve several clients?

Yes. Each client's application has its own configuration and database, so one team can deliver and support several clients on the same platform.

Can the client change the application after hand-over?

Yes. The client's own IT team can keep changing the configuration, or your team can offer enhancement as a service.
