Our Approach

Get More. Pay Less. It's that simple.
The digital landscape is changing at a rate we could have never imagined

Today’s digitally empowered and geographically distributed customers are radically connected, hyper-informed, and always on. To survive and thrive in this customer-centric, data-driven economy, enterprises need to rethink the technology infrastructure on which they are building and deploying mission-critical cloud applications and move to a modern platform. Samtech helps companies compete in this rapidly changing world where expectations are high and new innovations happen daily.

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.
Design is how it works.”

Our Approach

Instead of responding “yes” immediately, we take the time to understand what you’re trying to accomplish, going far beyond the typical process with questions of budget and timelines.

Every project is unique, but they all start with one thing in common. We want to know everything: where you started, where you want to go next, what you value. The only way to solve a problem is to understand it from every angle. Luckily, we’ve got a proven process to quench our insatiable curiosity.

At the heart of our approach is a commitment to deep understanding. We delve into the intricacies of your project, unraveling its complexities and appreciating its nuances. We explore the journey you've taken so far and envision where you aspire to be. Our goal is not just to provide solutions but to empower you with insights.

Our process is more than a series of steps; it's a collaborative exploration. We listen intently, question deeply, and adapt continuously. This iterative approach allows us to refine our understanding, align our strategies, and ultimately deliver solutions that stand the test of uniqueness.

  • Discovery

    During the first meetings we will listen to what your requirements and goals are and what your customers expect from new product. The only way to solve a problem is to understand it from every angle.

    The project scope and requirement documents are output of this process. We engage in open conversations to uncover not only your explicit requirements but also the underlying aspirations and expectations of your customers. On the back of these meetings our team will put together a solution proposal.

    The output of these discovery sessions is a meticulous blueprint that outlines the project's scope and requirements. This document serves as a compass, guiding our team and stakeholders through the intricacies of the project. It details the functionalities, features, and specifications that will define the success of our collaborative efforts.

  • Define Scope of Work

    The objectives of the system and details about the components involved are categorically defined and their role and relationships among the components are spelt out with the highest level of clarity.

    As next, a cost-benefit analysis is carried out to help you prioritize which features should be built-in from the start and functional extensions will grow in specified timeline. As an output the detailed specification is elaborated in order to ensure you get what you need.

    This helps us ensure we have understood exactly what you need before we build it. In essence, the "Define Scope of Work" phase is about creating a crystal-clear roadmap. It's a collaborative effort to ensure that the system's objectives are not only understood but also translated into a detailed specification that serves as a compass for the entire development process.

  • Design and Develop

    Before we move on to building, we undertake a review involving all major parties to double-check that all goals and requirements are being met. The design document is the output at this stage. The application is developed as per the design documents.

    The developers work towards completion of the sprints. Each functional change of the application is progressively, placed in the code repository with access to the client. Our product software development approach has Agile as its DNA. We combine well-proven Agile practices with Design Thinking to ensure the customer remains the central focus during the product development lifecycle. Our preferred Agile methodology is Scrum, which is an iterative and incremental approach to software project management.

    Within the Scrum framework, we adopt an iterative and incremental approach. Sprints are our milestones, allowing us to break down the development process into manageable segments. This not only facilitates steady progress but also provides the flexibility to adapt based on evolving insights and requirements.

  • Testing and Deployment

    Our journey in this phase begins with the establishment of DevOps processes, serving as the backbone for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD). This ensures that our development, testing, and deployment pipelines are seamlessly integrated, fostering an environment of efficiency and collaboration.

    We define the initial DevOps processes as a backbone for CI and CD. At first place is important to consider communications between application components, API inter calls and the clients with presentation layer. Design all for performance, scaling and sufficient testing. The scenarios when development, testing and deployment are all done on cloud is the most advanced we would like to achieve however it always depends on project and usually ends up in different variations.

    Our goal is to be close to scenario with full-fledged “Continuous Integration Testing (CIT)” that runs through automated tests, with performance testing seamlessly executed as well.

    The deployment strategies we employ are adaptive, tailoring to the unique needs of each project. Whether it's a cloud-centric deployment or a hybrid model, our goal is to ensure that the deployment process is smooth, minimizes downtime, and maximizes the availability of the solution to end-users.

Trusted Partnerships

Whenever we talk about the national and global brands we work with we talk about ‘partners’ and ‘collaborators’, because that’s what they are to us. They are more than just customers. We want to build long-term trusted relationships and to work together to deliver our creativity, skills and results consistently. The objectives we work towards are ours as much as theirs; the results we achieve are shared; and we celebrate our successes together.

Why? Well, because we have the agility, motivation and skills in technology we do; and we are small enough to care deeply and to establish genuine and meaningful relationships. The size of our team is a deliberate choice. It positions us to care deeply about the nuances of each partnership. We're not just another service provider; we are invested in the success of our partners. This closeness allows us to understand their unique needs, respond promptly to challenges, and craft solutions that align perfectly with their objectives.

Our Advantage

Size does matter. In our case, it’s a strength. Our agility, our strength-in-depth as a team and our location (small city in north Slovakia and without the price tags of major cities!), means that when it comes to flexing our capacity to the demands of clients, we’re well-placed. We have an experienced team who are capable of operating globally – some of who have been doing this for nearly 30 years. It means we’ve usually been there and done that when a partner needs a problem solving.

We at SAMTECH believe the only way to effectively succeed in business is to build not only partnerships, but trusted partnerships with our partners. Being an indispensable TRUSTED PARTNER means when clients have a need, even if you don’t always have the solution, it’s your phone that rings.

In essence, our advantage lies in the synergy of our size, location, global operational capability, and the unwavering commitment to building trusted partnerships. We are not just a service provider; we are a reliable ally in the journey of our partners, ensuring that their challenges become our challenges and their successes become our celebrations.
