Product Development & Consulting

The idea is rarely the problem.
It's the path to getting there that is.

We build an initial usable version early on, gather real feedback, and continue developing from there. Instead of spending six months working on a full version that nobody has asked for.

The Problem

The first version determines
how much the second one costs.

Almost every product that needs to be rebuilt after two years fails for the same three reasons.

All at Once: "
" Version One

Anyone who tries to include every feature before launch ends up delivering later, at a higher cost, and usually missing the mark on what users actually need.

Architecture
that doesn't grow with you

What works with a hundred users breaks down at ten thousand. Recognizing this early on saves you from the most expensive task of all: building a new system.

No one—
, who thinks ahead when it comes to technology

Without an in-house IT department, the only option is to trust the service provider. The end result is often a product that only the service provider understands and can maintain.

What We Cover

Technical partner,
is not a contractor.

We help determine where there are technical challenges, and we also point out when a feature isn't worth the effort.

01

Requirements and Scope

We determine what the product needs to be able to do, what isn't necessary in the first version, and where the greatest value lies.

  • Target Audiences and Use Cases
  • Prioritization by Benefit
  • Technical Feasibility
  • Scope as documented in writing
02

Architecture and Design

The design is chosen so that it will be durable. A clickable prototype provides a preview of how the product will feel.

  • Data Model and Interfaces
  • Clickable Draft
  • Expandable without new construction
  • Safety from the Start
03

Replacement of Old Systems

Replace existing applications gradually without interrupting operations. The old and new systems will run in parallel for a while.

  • Assessment and Evaluation
  • Data Import
  • Phased Transition
  • Probability of relapse per step
04

Technical Consulting

Even without a development contract: a second opinion on the design, choice of technology, or an ongoing project.

  • Review of Existing Systems
  • Technology Decisions
  • Roadmap for Further Development
  • Support for Internal Teams
What You Get

The end result is a product—
—that works in practice.

Not just a running application, but also the documentation and the knowledge of how it was built.

First of all
  • Clearly defined scope, set forth in writing
  • Architecture That Can Support Growth
  • First usable version for real feedback
While Working
  • Front-End and Server Development
  • Testing and Automated Deployment
  • Demonstration at the end of each section
After that
  • Technical Documentation and Training
  • Operation and further development upon request
  • Widespread technologies, not a specialized solution

What users really need—
—only becomes clear once they start using it.

That's why we're starting with a small, real-world version instead of a grand concept.

Procedure

Each phase ends
with something you can see.

No development behind closed doors. They review every interim result and can change course as long as it’s advantageous.

Initial Consultation and Requirements

We understand the concept, the target audience, and the market, and we work with you to determine what the first version needs to be able to do and what can wait.

1–2 weeks

Architecture, Design, and Scope

We design the technical architecture, build a clickable prototype for initial testing, and document the scope in writing. You approve it before development begins.

1–2 weeks

Development of the First Version

In two-week cycles with regular demonstrations. You'll see the progress and help determine the order.

4–8 weeks

Test with real users

The first working version is being released to real users. We're measuring, analyzing, and making improvements. This is the most valuable step in the entire project.

2–4 weeks

Launch, Operation, and Further Development

Commissioning on Austrian infrastructure; monitoring system set up; ongoing improvement follows, rather than the project ending.

ongoing
Why ITanic

We build products.
And we operate them.

Many agencies deliver code and then disappear. We remain a technical partner for as long as the product is in use.

Safety is part of the design

We handle cybersecurity in-house. That’s why architectural decisions are reviewed for vulnerabilities before they’re implemented, not after.

Built in a way that's easy to understand

Widespread technologies, a clear structure, and comprehensive documentation. What we build remains understandable and maintainable by third parties.

Delivering Early Is the Way to Go

Clear prioritization, two-week sprints, and a defined scope before writing the first line of code. This isn't a coincidence—it's always the same.

Operations in Austria

Hosting, tools, and data processing are located in Austria, are GDPR-compliant, and do not rely on U.S. providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What needs to be clarified before the start.

Why are we starting with a small version?

Because it's only through actual use that we can see what users really need. The first version includes the features that provide the greatest value. Everything else is developed based on feedback rather than assumptions.

How do we determine the scope together?

During a planning meeting, we identify which user groups want to do what, and prioritize these based on benefit and effort. The result is a documented scope that serves as the foundation for the entire development process.

What happens when requirements change?

That's the usual scenario. New findings will be included in the next section, and other points will be moved to the end. You won't be charged for work that turns out to be incorrect.

How much does product development cost?

That depends on the scope, complexity, and desired pace. During the initial consultation, we’ll clarify the scope of the project and provide a reliable estimate. We won’t prepare a quote until the scope has been determined.

Who will operate the product after launch?

Upon request, we’ll assign you a dedicated contact person. We’ll set up hosting and monitoring and manage them on an ongoing basis. If something goes down, we’ll know about it before you do.

Can we continue to develop this internally later on?

We'll address that in the contract, depending on the project. From a technical standpoint, we'll build it in a way that makes this possible: using common technologies, a clear structure, and comprehensive documentation. We'll set forth in writing in advance what rights of use and modification are transferred.

No product stands alone.

As soon as it goes live, it needs to integrate with your existing systems.
