Building an online platform or digital application?
Do you need to boost your team in software development or have you spotted an opportunity to grow your business by delivering your services on the web or via mobile?
Whether this is your first software project or whether you have an existing team, the reality is that the development process is fraught with avoidable problems and pitfalls. The sort of issues that cause:
of Projects are cancelled before completion
of Projects cost 189% of their original estimate
Projects take over 200% longer than estimated
These failures come from a variety of causes – and not all of them are on the technical side. Most start with the business people initiating the project – from incomplete or changing requirements to a lack of user input. Building software isn’t as easy as it sounds. Cost and time overruns are commonplace, so a solid foundation and expertise in software development is key.
If you lack the capacity or the capability for delivering your technology project, a digital business and product consultant can support you throughout the development process to build an online platform or application that helps you achieve your business goals.

”Hi, I'm Karen
I founded Great Products Consulting because, when it comes to developing a mobile app or online platform, people simply don’t know what they don’t know.
Why do I say that?
On average, just 16% of projects are completed on-time, on-budget and with the features and functions originally requested.
That’s a lot of unnecessary time, money and stress to potentially end up with something that doesn’t 100% meet your brief.
As a digital business and product consultant, I’m here to help you beat the odds.
After two-plus decades in the technology industry, across four countries and three continents, I want to take the guesswork out of software and digital product development. As both a business analyst (mediating between client needs and development deliverables) and a product manager (driving for long-term profitability), I offer end-to-end support to deliver a digital platform or mobile app that’s not just ‘finished’ but actually lives up to its potential – and produces a meaningful ROI.
