Advisory

Ductus offers a tailored approach to help you develop your automation strategy, no matter where you are on your automation journey. We take a vendor-agnostic stance when recommending an architecture, allowing your unique requirements to shape the solution rather than being driven by specific products or frameworks.

With over 35 years of experience in successful software development, we support customers in ensuring quality outcomes by introducing the necessary processes and methodologies. From defining requirements through Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to implementing a CI/CD development approach, we provide comprehensive guidance throughout the process.

We offer expert advice in the following areas:

  • Automation Strategy Development
    • Audits of current business and operational processes.
    • Collaborating with the customer to define the architecture of their automation stack, based on both current and future requirements.
    • Planning and executing Proof of Concepts (PoC) and defining Minimum Viable Products (MVP).
    • Deliverables: Workshops, PoC, Technical report.
  • Requirements Analysis and Design
    • Collecting requirements and recommending appropriate architecture.
    • Deliverables: Workshops, High-Level Design document(s).
  • Automation Project Strategy and Planning
