Platform development services — the present of digital growth
Grow without production costs
Being a platform development company has its perks. For one thing, your value generation isn’t tied to production costs. When you venture into the business of facilitating the exchanges of operations and services, you can recoup more investments by transferring production costs to outsiders (users, suppliers, sellers, and so on).
Open new revenue streams
If you already have a strong core product, you can distribute it better by going with a PaaS model. Instead of selling the same product once, you can make use of your investments over and over, tapping into the digital economies of scale. Whether you’re in banking or retail, you can capitalize on the platformization trend. Reach more consumers by leveraging our platform engineering expertise.
Innovate faster
An undeniable perk of platform development is the rapid development process. Deploy new applications and digital platform services at unparalleled speed. An open, modular architecture, reusable service components, and a selection of premade internal and external APIs can boost your operations.
Improve customer experience
Use consumer data accumulated in your cloud-based data lake to determine customer needs. See which APIs and integrations you can leverage in your online platform to meet those needs. Use cloud DevOps practices to bring new software applications into production faster. Launch to a warmed-up community of customers who are already loyal to your brand.
Scale across markets and verticals
Digital platform development and consulting aim to turn your business into a cross-industry power broker. With a cloud-based core, online platforms can easily tap into other product verticals, markets, and business models. The ability to integrate any number of external players or extend systems to third parties will help your business pursue emerging market opportunities.
Stay ahead of the competition
Leverage your existing user base to gain an unfair advantage over the competition. Complement your core services with value-added propositions that extend to different aspects of your custom lifecycle. Extend your brand presence to emerging sales channels—voice, IoT, social applications, and more—to be present whenever and wherever your customers need you.
Frequently asked questions
Successful digital platform development requires a customer-centric approach, continuous improvement, and a willingness to adapt to changing market needs.
Act as a product manager. Start by outlining your goals, business objectives, and target audience within your market environment. Define the core features and functionality of the platform and their respective priority levels. Consider aspects such as technologies to be leveraged, feasible infrastructure, integration points, and scalability together with necessary resources and budgets, along with timelines and milestones. Ensure that your platform development plan is feasible, scalable, and supports the product vision. Keep in mind that the roadmap is not set in stone – iterate and adapt nonstop. In addition, your platform development roadmap should include a contingency plan for any potential risks or obstacles that may arise in the development cycle and evaluate your success and measure outcomes through continuous communication and feedback.

The process of digital platform development typically involves several stages, from initial planning to deployment and ongoing maintenance. Here's a general overview of the process:
- - Conceptualization and planning
- - Requirements gathering
- - Design and prototyping
- - Development
- - Quality Assurance and testing
- - Deployment
- - Launch and post-launch activities
- - Ongoing maintenance and support
Defining the cost of platform development involves a thorough assessment of various factors. While estimating the exact cost can be challenging, here are key steps to help you define the cost:
- - Clearly define the scope of the platform development project (identified key features, functionalities, and deliverables).
- - Break down the project for a more granular analysis of the tasks and resources required for each part (UI design, backend development, database setup, integrations, additional customizations or configurations).
- - Determine the resources required for platform development (number and expertise of platform developers, designers, testers, and other team members; inhouse or outsourcing options, project duration, and effort required).
- - Evaluate the technology stack and infrastructure required for the platform development (the cost of licenses/subscriptions, scalability of servers, hosting, cloud services, and databases).
- - Estimate the platform development timeframe based on the scope and complexity of the platform (quantity of features, customization and dependencies level, resource availability).
- - Analyze the cost of QA and testing efforts (test cases, test environments, the involvement of testers, automated testing tools, external testing services)
- - Allocate budget for maintenance and support costs (regular updates, bug fixes, security patches, user support; inhouse/external resources, service-level agreements (SLAs).
- - Account for unforeseen circumstances or changes in requirements during the development process and include contingency and miscellaneous expenditures in your budgeting.
