SIENN’s blueprint
How we work together on your organization
“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.”
That is how we see it at SIENN. And with that mindset, we collaborate with all our clients. Based on transparency and trust. SIENN helps you with smart, efficient, and powerful solutions for your business-critical applications. So that you can continue to make a difference. In close collaboration with your organization, we develop and implement tools and web applications that provide an optimal user experience for everyone.
And we do this differently from many other companies. Because with the right business intelligence and the right automation, you enable sustainable business growth.
Our blueprint: from business strategy to bespoke proposition
With the rise of AI, low code and no code solutions, building software has become increasingly accessible. At the same time, the need for strong business knowledge and software logic from developers is more important than ever. That is why we aim for a close, long-term partnership, so we can truly understand the processes and connections within your organization, and the critical factors that drive your business.
It also enables us to generate valuable insights from your data. By gaining this understanding, we know what is technically required to support your goals and drive your organization’s growth. Your Business Consultant acts as your right hand, translating your business needs into the solutions that are ultimately developed.
At SIENN, you always receive a bespoke solution that aligns precisely with your needs, requirements, and preferences. Our solutions are built on a robust Microsoft foundation and structured around six core areas: Program Management, Teams, Templates, Controlling, Communication, and Methodology. The starting point is always the same question: what is your business strategy?
The foundation: mapping your business strategy
Our approach is based on your business strategy. It forms the foundation for everything we do. Together, we define your core activities, target markets, and competitive advantages, and translate these into software requirements and functionalities that support your business goals.
We create a clear project plan that aligns the execution of the software development with your broader business strategy, forming a software development roadmap.
One of the ways to map your business strategy is through Event Storming. What goals do you want to achieve, and why has it not yet been possible to achieve them?
Together, we explore how we can help, define a quantifiable project outcome, and establish a clear plan to achieve it.
Event Storming as the path to Domain-Driven Design
Event Storming is a fast way to develop a domain model for your project. Instead of taking weeks, we can create a clear business model in just a few hours.
We quickly bring other stakeholders up to speed. By making the process engaging and effective, we motivate participants to move forward together. The result is a behavioral model that can be implemented and validated quickly.
Core area 1 | Teams
Building a strong multidisciplinary software development team takes time. And if you want a team that performs at a high level and fits your software projects perfectly, the challenge becomes even greater. Different phases of the development process also require different types of capacity and expertise. Some roles, for example, are simply not needed full-time.
In that case, Team as a Service offers the solution.
SIENN’s development teams consist of experts with a wide range of skills, including Software Developers, Testers, System Analysts, Project Managers and UX/UI Designers. Together, we work toward specific goals, such as creating new software products, improving existing systems or solving technical challenges.
Core area 2 | Templates
We focus on efficiency and clear insight into the development process. To achieve this, we use proven methodologies such as Kanban and Scrum, complemented by templates we have developed over the years.
These templates provide a structured framework for planning, executing and monitoring projects, giving team members clarity about their tasks and priorities. By working with these templates, we create a streamlined workflow and ensure the project stays on track and meets your expectations.
Core area 3 | Control
Together with you, we maintain control over the project. We do this by working with a steering committee where key decisions are made, organizing daily updates to review progress and address any obstacles, and regularly reporting on the project’s status.
This approach ensures transparency, engagement and effective collaboration throughout the entire development process.
Core area 4 | Communication
At SIENN, we value open and effective communication throughout the entire development process. We organize regular check-ins to ensure everyone involved stays aligned and clearly understands what is expected of them.
Through transparent and timely communication, we address challenges quickly and keep the project moving smoothly. This helps maintain confidence and ensures you remain satisfied with the progress and results.
Core area 5 | Methodology
Agile working is a flexible way of collaborating on projects. We divide the work into smaller parts and deliver usable results on a regular basis, following agile software development best practices. Instead of planning everything in advance, we work in short cycles of one to four weeks.
- We work closely together and stay in frequent contact.
- We easily adapt to changes or new insights.
- After each step, we deliver a working product.
Our teams have the freedom and responsibility to make decisions and divide tasks themselves. This approach leads to faster results, stronger collaboration and satisfied customers. We deliver value throughout the entire process.
Core area 6 | Program management
At SIENN, we consider strong program management essential. The Program Manager plays a crucial role in the project, especially when coordinating multiple software development teams. What can our Program Manager do for you? For example:
- Collecting and reporting program-level status updates to key stakeholders (steering committee).
- Aligning with the project managers of all projects.
- Monitoring program processes.
- Synchronizing deliveries across all projects.
- Managing program risks.
- Prioritizing the program backlog together with your company’s product owner.
- Establishing a governance model.
With this approach, your program stays aligned, structured, and focused on delivering results.
Maintenance and service: a partner for the future
You know better than anyone that a successful business strategy is dynamic and adapts to changing circumstances. It is therefore essential that your IT systems remain flexible and can adapt along with evolving business strategies. The same applies when new security requirements need to be implemented.
That is why you can establish Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with us. In this contractual agreement between you and SIENN, the performance criteria and service levels we guarantee are clearly defined. This ensures transparency and clarity about what you can expect from us as a software development consulting company in terms of service and support. We also define concrete targets, such as response times in the event of issues or the availability of our systems. As a strategic partner, SIENN not only offers solutions but actively collaborates with you to realize your business growth.
