Consulting

ThoughtWorks has been providing advice to our clients, formally and informally, since day one. Whether helping to improve productivity or embed testing in IT teams, or setting out a new architecture or strategy, our advice is always firmly grounded in delivery expertise – in other words, in reality.

We consider short-term needs in balance with the long-term business strategy. True to our delivery principles, we won’t create a five year road map with ‘big bang’ results at the end, we’ll create a six month road map with value injected at every milestone, where you need it most.

Our consulting approach is not for the faint-hearted. Great improvements require great change, and that is never easy. We will look at the whole problem, uncovering the root cause as well as responding to the pains currently experienced – and on this basis come, together, to the right solution.

We provide services in the following areas, although it’s always best to contact your local ThoughtWorks team before making plans, as it’s critical to have the right person in the right place at the right time for these services.

Optimizing IT organizations – Improve delivery capability, innovation and competitive advantage by adopting Agile and Lean principles as well as project and organizational practices.

Technology consulting – Our Systems Healthcheck, Architecture Review and Guidance, and SOA services provide pragmatic advice from specialists with real-world expertise as well as insight into industry trends and the latest academic findings. Gain strategic insights into existing systems portfolio, architecture, platforms and technologies that can save costs, solve problems or identify risks and issues.

Testing strategy – Rethink and embed testing as a fully integrated part of the software development process to improve quality, predictability and reliability across the IT division.

Customer experience – Deliver innovative, functional products using uncommon but common-sense techniques that elevate human factors to the same importance as the technology. By creating compelling experiences, ThoughtWorks can help make products stand out in a cluttered landscape and dramatically improve conversion rates.

Continuous delivery – Striving for shorter release cycles and higher development throughput. Working with organizations to implement an excellent backbone of processes, automation and people that support code promotion from a developer's desktop through to production.
