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 delivers easily scalable development services to businesses seeking suitable resources for both new product development from scratch and ongoing company projects in healthcare.

PDaaS revolutionizes outsourced product development by supplying companies with a dedicated team of experienced developers who can work on a project from its inception to completion.

This approach provides an efficient way for businesses to access top technology talent without the need to hire and manage an in-house team. In addition to our adaptability, we take pride in our expertise in compliance and healthcare understanding.

This allows us to create customized solutions that not only comply with stringent regulatory standards but also address the unique challenges of the healthcare landscape.

Although traditional methods of product development may not always be unsuccessful, it is the development team's methods and the discrepancy between the product development processes and the company's expectations that lead to failures.

PDaaS serves as a solution for the disconnect between product development and a company's current product demands by implementing a systematic approach that yields measurable outcomes in the future. It simplifies and optimizes the transformation of product ideas into fully developed, deployed, and adopted products.

Outsourcing product development to vendors requires tightly-scoped contracts, which limits development agility, hinders growth, and might even lead to product failure. Vice versa, PDaaS is an easily scalable development solution that employs top-quality, highly skilled, and experienced product development resources and implements the best software development practices.

This way, PDaaS ensures the delivery of products outperforms current product development solutions.

PDaaS requires a workforce with varied skill sets to handle the various tasks involved in the product development process. IT directors and senior leaders can benefit from PDaaS as it can ease their burden of managing the entire product development process in-house.

Partnering with a reputable and experienced PDaaS provider can enable companies to benefit from the enterprise product development experience of a team that includes product managers, project managers, business analysts, application developers, system engineers, quality assurance analysts, security analysts, etc.

By leveraging the individual and collaborative capabilities of this effective product development team, companies can create a competency that delivers high efficiency, quality, and sustainability levels. In addition, using the latest languages, tools, and technologies helps the right development team to enhance the product's features and functionalities, thus maintaining its competitiveness.

BGO Software is a PDaaS partner, providing a comprehensive service delivery offering to numerous healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology organizations. With over a decade of experience, we help these organizations identify new horizons, generate and validate ideas, create new concepts, develop digital strategies, achieve interoperability, and drive projects forward.

By leveraging appropriately skilled development resources and creating competency, BGO Software helps its partners meet user needs and achieve their goals.

Our industry-experienced technology leaders ensure efficiency, provide premium support in strategic decision-making processes, and will guarantee the overall success of your projects.

The best way to initiate a PDaaS project is through a Full Discovery process.

This comprehensive approach allows for an in-depth understanding of your project 's goals, user needs, and potential challenges. It involves detailed analysis, extensive user research, and development of prototypes for validation.

This method ensures a solid foundation for the project, aligns development with your strategic objectives, and sets a clear path for successful execution, making it ideal for kick-starting your PDaaS project effectively.

You can also explore our complimentary Mini-Discovery to:

  • Define your next idea and design a roadmap
  • Understand how to overcome specific technical challenges
  • Accelerate delivery with high-skilled augmented teams

Yes, we work with partners worldwide. Our clients range from white sounds corporations, clinical research organizations to SMEs developing health products. Many of our customers are based in Switzerland, US, UK in Europe.

It very much depends on the specific requirements of every project. Usually we would start with a Discover session a couple of days after the initial contract. After collecting the requirements and agreeing on the timeline, it usually takes less than two weeks to have the team assembled and ready to start. For some more non mainstream technologies or very specific requirements the process might take 2 - 4 weeks maximum.
