What is digital consulting?

The idea that the world of digital technology and media is rapidly changing is almost a truism. The fact is that it is constantly accelerating, and the key to understanding it is not only through passive observation but also by being part of the process and actively shaping this change.

A definition of digital consulting

Digital transformation has forced many companies to reinvent their business models. The comprehensive scope of digital consulting is intended to help businesses implement their digital strategies to meet assumed results and goals. This might mean designing a user-friendly website or platform or redesigning an existing one (as in our example at the end), guidance on social media, analysing digital marketing and data, PR, optimising content for SEO, branding, monetisation and anything else which is rooted in the digital world.

How is digital consultancy helpful for your business?

The benefits of digital consulting are based on many proven success stories. It boosts innovation in business and has a huge impact on the pace of digital transformation in many different industries. But digital transformation is not about completely replacing old technologies. In fact, its essence is to make your business a data-driven organisation, ensuring that key decisions or processes will be influenced by data-driven insights.

In the post-pandemic period, business leaders must reimagine and redefine the position of their companies in the digital world.

Research – collect valuable data and insights

Good, well-thought-out decisions should always be based on well-planned and conducted research. It supplies a realistic context and significant insights into the design process. Gathering qualitative and quantitative data enables us to take data-driven decisions one step further.

Strategy – let’s plan how we to unleash your digital potential

This stage of digital consultancy is about making the best achievable plan on how to unleash your digital potential and choose the right direction. It focuses on creating the entire product design and development process to optimise and deliver the best possible value.

Concept & Validation – time to check what we have

Time to test the assumptions we made in the previous phases. This is the moment where we can still turn back and make changes quickly. Just to be sure that your digital product meets your users’ expectations.

UX/UI Design – meaningful experiences that connect

A well-designed, functional, intuitive-to-use product is the main focus of User Experience Design. We deliver world-class digital products which are not only beautiful but also increase sales and conversion and get more users on board. Great product design brings your success closer.

Development – bringing the final product to life

The development phase is where the results of research, strategy, branding, design work and validations add up. The main goal of this phase is to create previously designed products with the quality corresponding to the end product. We create digital products from scratch, but we also can maintain your existing ones – our team works on complex front- and back-end web products.

Data Analytics & Optimisation – decisions based on data

Analytics is the process of discovering, interpreting, and communicating significant data patterns. Only by relying on good, proven, meaningful data can we establish the basis for making the right business decisions.

Next iterations – we are not done yet

Your digital product is ready, but just as the digital world is constantly changing, so it must keep up with it. We will deliver your product that looks amazing and works flawlessly, but it is not the end – it has to grow as your business does. Next iterations, according to the above process, will be easier and faster to carry out – after all, your product already exists!

What is the future of digital consulting?

Two important forces are driving the digital transformation phenomenon of digital consulting services: globalisation and demographic changes.

Experts agree that the demand for technology consulting will only grow.

In the digital-first experience, combined with common automation and the growing potential of AI, it is unsurprising that the meaning of digital consulting is rapidly developing. Most likely, with the fast growth of data and new technologies, this will keep increasing at an exponential speed.

Advantages of hiring a digital consulting company

Hiring a digital consulting company significantly benefits the firm by helping them to reap the benefits associated with meeting strategic goals and accelerating organisational growth. Having a trusted partner in business also:
