How we work with you, from the initial consultation to live operation
Whether it is a new idea, an existing system or a specific task: every project with us goes through the same five phases. Throughout, you always talk directly to the team working on your project.
Where your project begins
Where we start depends on your starting point. After that, every project follows the same process.
A new idea
You want a new product developed. First, we clarify with you what it should do and for whom.
Digital Transformation ConsultingAn existing system
Your software, website or shop is running and needs to be renewed or extended, even if another provider built the system. First, we check what works well today and can stay.
The three paths for existing systemsA specific task
A recurring job should run automatically, two systems should exchange data or a campaign should launch. Then we start directly with that task.
All services
The process in five phases
Each phase ends with a result you can see and review. From you, we mainly need three things: your knowledge of your business, your feedback and your decisions.
Initial consultation
In the free, no-obligation initial consultation, you tell us how you work today, which systems are involved and what should change. From this, we work out which tasks lie ahead and where we start.

Testing and go-live

Who you work with
You talk directly to the people who design and develop your project, from the first conversation until after the handover.
Consulting, design, development, cloud and marketing are one team at ASES and plan your project together. Your knowledge of your business goes into every recommendation. We hold conversations in ten languages.
While the project is running
Between the quote and the launch, you see what is being built and have a say in how it continues.
Work in progress in the preview
Through a link, you see in the preview what is already in place, before it goes live.
We make decisions together
When a question about design or technology comes up, we lay out the possible paths and decide with you which one to take.
When the scope changes
If a new requirement is added or something is dropped, we first adjust the quote and only then continue working. That way, you always know what the current scope costs.
Before the first conversation
These four pieces of information help us get to the heart of your project quickly. None of them is a requirement; an idea is enough.
Goal
The result you want and your priorities
Systems
Your website, your application or the systems you use
Examples
What you like elsewhere, or your own notes
Time and budget
A deadline or budget range that affects the planning
Confidential from the start
We use your details only to review your project and to reply to you. On request, we sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before the first conversation, so you can talk openly about your idea.
