BUSINESS SCALABILITY

What is scalability in business?

Business scalability is the process of increasing the production or service potential of your company. Very often it is a natural consequence of the increased demand for services or products of an enterprise. It is usually linked to growths in revenue, yet not always to higher profits. For that reason, it is worth ensuring the path to high business scalability at the onset of your activity.

HOW TO BUILD

How to build a scalable business?

Appropriate processes planned in advance facilitate handling sudden increases in demand for your services without losing profits or reputation. When you build firm foundations and prepare relevant technological infrastructure, you can be sure that your company will survive the toughest times. How can you develop software that will help scale your business?

Workshops, UX Design, PoC / MVP

At Stepwise we support our customers in a variety of ways. We develop software from the ground up, or help you to improve existing solutions. Our first discussions and workshops are devoted to adapting the process of software development to best suit your business.

Iterative development of IT projects

At Stepwise we use the agile model. We execute projects iteratively at every stage, from workshops, to design and code generation, dividing a project into smaller parts. After creating the particular software components, we analyse the suitability of the given ideas or solutions. We then exchange our results and concerns with the customers. In this way, you can make decisions that are best for your venture development and scaling.

Software security development

Providing proper security in digital products is among our top priorities. We always thoroughly check the protection of the tools and servers we use. In addition, software we create undergoes strict penetration testing by independent external providers.
As a business grows and software expands, the number of potential problems with the logics of operation, bugs and performance increase as well. Stepwise makes customers aware of these issues and, where necessary, suggests the best solutions.

SCALABILITY AND TECHNOLOGY

Scalability and technology

Advanced technology tailored to your business is the essence of effective scaling. The selection of technology is significant in company development as it determines how easily you will be able to handle a sudden jump in workload in the organisation.

Business scaling in the cloud

The infrastructure of any highly scalable software must meet business requirements and deliver solutions expected by the end users. The cloud allows the provisioning of automated scaling (and additional instances of computing capacity) in the event of needing additional resources.

Security in cloud technologies

Providers of cloud services ensure a very high level of application and data security. Powerful teams of IT specialists develop these technologies, and regularly improve the protection. Datacentres for your data are usually dispersed over many different locations, which spreads and reduces the risk of data loss.

The issues of old-fashioned technology

Using old-fashioned technology for software development, you bear the consequences of that decision into the future, where an application may look excellent, but over time you will experience serious problems related to that limited solution.

The old-fashioned technologies used for software development:

  • Are expensive to maintain.
  • Are considerably more difficult to find developers for who know and want to work with old technologies.
  • Increase costs because developers need more time to create software.
  • Once they lose support are an easy target for hackers.
  • Can be incompatible with cutting-edge technologies.

6 KEY FACTORS

6 key factors in building a scalable business:

Solid foundations
The foundations of our business decide the durability and effectiveness of internal processes and the business model itself.
Cooperation with people who are better than you
In business, this is not about the ability to do everything - there is value in using the experience of others in areas we do not specialise in.
Market research and testing solutions
Before commencing an investment, at the stage of specifying requirements, it is necessary to check whether a similar solution is not already available on the market.
Outsourcing of IT services
Cooperation with reliable partners and providers who help us with scaling is worth considering as outsourcing when developing digital products. An experienced software house can test an existing product, build an MVP and cast a fresh eye on the concept.
Project documentation
We should not become totally dependent on one external provider. Stepwise makes sure that customers have constant access to the digital product documentation. This allows us to build relationships based on trust and secure the project durability.
Process automation
If there are repetitive processes in your company (e.g. sending emails), it is worth automating them. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the perfect solution in this respect.
