Full Discovery: The Proven
Best Way to Kick-off PDaaS

Our PDaaS approach is based on design thinking. It visualizes your final product before development even begins, and ensures its strategic validation, guiding you to build exactly what’s needed.

  • workshop icon

    Understand

    We start with comprehensive desk research and interviews with team members, the client, and decision-makers to understand objectives and insights. Then, we conduct a workshop to define the problem in detail.

  • predictive analysis icon

    User Journey Mapping

    Next, we do user and desirability research and an ideation and ideas validation workshops. To defining the dev resources and the user journey, prioritise pain points and map the “as-is” state.

  • protope icon

    Prototype & Pilot

    We create clickable prototypes and validate them with real users, helping UX experts to identify issues, wrong assumptions, prioritise conflicts early on, and ensure optimal use of time and financial resources.

  • optimisation icon

    Test & Improve

    Once clickable prototypes are created, a test phase follows in which all stakeholders can optimise the idea/ the existing concept, taking part in shaping the final product.

  • estimation icon

    Estimation & Planning

    Lessons are learned from the idea validation and optimisation, and conclusions are drawn. The plan, the estimation, and all the specifications needed for the product development process are worked out.

  • software dev icon

    Development

    By using agile development methods such as Scrum, we begin with timely product development, including a seamless user experience based on the optimised prototype and best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Development as a Service (PDaaS) is a model that provides appropriately skilled development resources for both ongoing company projects and new product development from scratch, particularly in the healthcare sector. It allows businesses to access top-tier talent without the need to maintain an in-house team, offering cost-effective and scalable development services. This access to specialized talent helps companies maximize their full potential, ensuring that every idea is developed with the best practices in mind.

PDaaS redefines outsourced product development by bringing a dedicated team of software developers experts who manage projects from concept development through to timely product development and deployment. Our approach combines enterprise product development experience, development agility, and deep expertise in healthcare compliance, addressing the unique challenges of the healthcare industry with customized solutions that comply with stringent regulatory standards.

Traditional methods of product development often fail due to a disconnect between the development process and a company's evolving expectations. PDaaS bridges that gap with a systematic approach that transforms product ideas into fully developed, deployed, and adopted high-quality products. By aligning the right development team with project managers and business analysts, PDaaS ensures a clear roadmap from concept development to final product deployment, optimizing the process for user adoption and product's growth. This process not only achieves the intended outcomes but also ensures a seamless integration into the client's portfolio of solutions.

Unlike traditional outsourced product development models that rely on tightly scoped contracts and can limit development agility, PDaaS is an easily scalable development solution. It employs top development resources and implements the best software development practices, allowing for agile and scalable project execution. This ensures businesses can flexibly scale their teams, responding swiftly to market demands, while outperforming current product development solutions with the latest technologies and innovative solutions. PDaaS ensures that the foundation of each project is solid and adaptable to future needs, ensuring businesses can achieve long-term success.

PDaaS assembles a varied skill set of experts, including project managers, system engineers, business analysts, security analysts, application developers, and quality assurance analysts. This creates an effective product development team that can manage the entire development process and meet project's success metrics. Our workforce of professionals is equipped with the latest tools and methodologies to ensure that your product remains competitive and up to date with industry standards, creating real value for your company.

By leveraging enterprise product development experience and appropriately skilled development resources, PDaaS allows companies to deliver high-quality products efficiently. Moreover, using the latest technologies and tools ensures that the final product remains competitive and up to date with industry standards. BGO Software’s PDaaS teams offer expertise across various industries, ensuring successful execution of projects.

The ideal way to initiate a PDaaS project is through our Full Discovery process. This comprehensive approach allows you to define your project’s vision, challenges, and full potential, aligning with both business goals and user needs. It includes thorough analysis, user journey mapping, and the development of prototypes for early validation.

A Full Discovery session provides a solid foundation for your project, sets the path for timely product development, and aligns the development team with your strategic objectives, ensuring a smooth transition from concept development to deployment.

Additionally, we offer a complimentary Mini-Discovery Session to help businesses define their ideas, address technical challenges, and accelerate product development with high-skilled teams.

Yes, we partner with clients globally, from large enterprises to SMEs in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and technology. Our services span across multiple regions, including Switzerland, the US, the UK, and Europe, delivering innovative solutions for customers through our PDaaS model.

The timeline for starting a PDaaS project depends on the specific requirements of each project. Generally, after an initial Discovery Session, we can start assembling a team within a few days. For more complex or non-mainstream technologies, the process may take up to 2–4 weeks. Our goal is to begin development as soon as possible, ensuring projects are launched on time and with the right development resources.
