Problem-Solving Development
We consult to identify the real problem, then build the solution ourselves.
The real reason IT investment fails to deliver
Most organisations face the problem at one of two stages.
First: they cannot determine what to build — so nothing gets started, or what eventually gets built misses the point entirely.
Second: even when something is built, if it does not address the actual business problem, it produces no result. And with no result, it will not be used.
Both failures share the same root cause — not a lack of technical skill, but the absence of someone who can define, from a business operations perspective, what to build, why, and how.
We keep consulting and development as one unbroken engagement. By starting with the right definition of what to build, we prevent both failure modes at their source.
① Can't define what to build → nothing gets built
② Built but misaligned → no impact, goes unused
Understand the problem → Design what to build → Deliver → Embed
Where no-code and off-the-shelf tools fall short
Complex, organisation-specific requirements
Decision flows and business logic unique to your organisation cannot be reproduced by generic tools. Full custom development fits your operations exactly.
No per-user licence fees
SaaS and no-code tools charge per seat. With our service, there are no per-user licence fees — the licence cost stays the same however many people use the system.
Integration with existing systems
Connecting to internal legacy systems or proprietary formats is often beyond what off-the-shelf tools can handle reliably.
How pricing works
From business analysis through development, maintenance, and continuous improvement — all under one monthly arrangement. Consulting support is available when needed at no additional charge.
- Business analysis & design
- Tool development (no dev fee)
- Maintenance & continuous improvement
- Usage rights to the tool
Copyright in the software remains with ePrize. It is precisely because we retain that copyright that we can offer development at zero upfront cost. In the spirit of open-source software, you are free to use and modify it within your organisation.
See the finished tool first, then decide
The trial-and-error, and the development cost itself if the result does not fit your operations, are absorbed by ePrize as an upfront investment. That is why you can evaluate the finished tool in action first, and then decide whether it delivers value for your business.
How we work
Initial consultation Free
We start with a brief conversation about your current situation and challenges. No cost at this stage.
Advisory contract & business analysis Advisory
Under the advisory contract, we dig into the operational problem and define what to build and how. This is the most critical step that determines whether the outcome delivers real value.
Development & Licence Grant No Dev Fee
We build to the agreed specification. Copyright remains with ePrize. The development cost is zero.
Maintenance & ongoing improvement Ongoing
Under the advisory contract, the monthly fee covers usage rights, maintenance, ongoing improvement, and consulting. For clients who do not require consulting, a usage-and-maintenance-only monthly fee is also available.
Start with your business challenge
You don't need to have a clear spec. "I don't know what to build" is exactly where we start.
