About the service

What is business and digital transformation consulting?

It is a review of how your team works, its tools and its data, to find where time is lost or follow-up slips, and which digital solution is worth investing in.

We do not start by proposing a system or an app. We start by understanding the problem, the constraints and the budget, then compare ready-made systems with custom development so you can decide with confidence.

What does Future Web offer you?

  • Reviewing your work processes and the tools your team uses.
  • Finding where tasks repeat, information gets lost or follow-up slips.
  • Clarifying your digital project’s goals, operational constraints and budget.
  • Comparing ready-made systems with custom development.
  • Defining the required integrations, access permissions and data.
  • Clarifying operation, training and maintenance needs after launch.

Who is it for

Is this service right for you?

  • A founder planning a platform

    You have an idea for a platform or system, and want to know what it really needs before you start.

  • A company with scattered tools

    Your data is spread across spreadsheets and apps that do not talk to each other, and you want them connected.

  • A team assessing a current system

    You need to assess your current system before investing in improving or replacing it.

  • Managers facing a technical decision

    You have different technical offers or options, and need a view that helps you compare them.

What is included

What does the service include?

  1. Understanding how you work

    We review your processes and tools as they are actually used, not as they are meant to be.

  2. Finding the bottlenecks

    We spot repeated tasks, lost information and delayed follow-up, and rank them by impact.

  3. Comparing options

    We compare ready-made systems with custom development on fit, operation and expected cost.

  4. Data and integrations

    We define the data needed, the access permissions and the systems that must connect.

  5. Life after launch

    We set out operation, training and maintenance needs so they do not surprise you later.

  6. Stated assumptions

    We write down the assumptions and missing information clearly, so you can judge the recommendations yourself.

Deliverables

What will you receive?

At handover you receive a working result and what you need to run it, agreed in the scope before work starts.

Discuss your project with us

  • A report on the current state of your processes and tools.
  • A priority list ranked by impact and effort.
  • A comparison of the available options, with the strengths and limits of each.
  • A list of the required integrations, data and access permissions.
  • An initial requirements document, when it is part of the scope.
  • A phased delivery plan, when it is part of the scope.
  • A written note of the assumptions and missing information.
  • A session to discuss the recommendations with your team.

How we work

How do we work on your project?

  1. We define the question

    We agree on the decision you need to make, the consulting scope and its deliverables.

  2. We review the current state

    We talk to your team and review the processes, tools and data we are authorised to see.

  3. We analyse the problem

    We find where time is lost and follow-up slips, and what really causes it.

  4. We compare the options

    We set out the possible options with the strengths, limits and expected running cost of each.

  5. We set priorities

    We suggest what is worth doing now and what can wait, and write down the assumptions clearly.

  6. We hand over and discuss

    We hand over the agreed deliverables and discuss the recommendations with your team.

Challenges

Problems we help you solve

  • Your data is spread across many sheets and apps

    So we map the data sources and how they connect, and suggest a setup that cuts duplication.

  • You cannot decide between a ready-made system and a custom one

    So we compare both against your needs, your budget and the running requirements after launch.

  • You have different quotes and cannot compare them

    So we clarify the requirements first, so you compare the quotes on the same basis.

  • Your digital project stalled halfway

    So we review the current requirements and deliverables, and identify what can be built on and what needs replanning.

  • Your team repeats the same tasks every day

    So we list the repeated tasks and rank the chances to organise or automate them by impact.

Questions

Questions clients ask about this service

Do I have to build the project with Future Web after consulting?

No. Consulting can be a standalone service; the form of the deliverables and your right to use them are set in the agreement.

Can you review a project already in progress?

Usually, yes. We define what can be reviewed after seeing the requirements, deliverables and authorised access.

What do I receive at the end of the consulting?

It depends on the scope: a report on the current state, priorities and options, an initial requirements document, or a phased delivery plan.

Do you always recommend custom development?

No. We compare ready-made systems with custom development, and a ready-made system may be the better fit for your needs.

Do I need a technical background to benefit?

No. We explain the options in plain language tied to your business goals, and state the assumptions so you can judge the recommendations yourself.

Do you need access to our systems and data?

Sometimes. We agree with you on what needs to be seen, and use only the access authorised for the consulting scope.
