Project Clinic
At Delonia we offer solutions beyond the traditional forms of consultancy and software development. Project clinic emerges as the professionalization of specialized services aimed at solving problems in third-party projects, either analyzing the feasibility of projects to start, solving difficulties in ongoing projects or remedying situations in completed projects.
This is one of Delonia’s most demanded and valued services. Thus, for example, the company that takes the decision to develop a particular software or implement a systems solution often does so with a high degree of uncertainty due to the lack of knowledge of the technological context to be handled. This is one of the reasons why digitization processes are not undertaken, which are necessary but are perceived as a risk. The way to provide certainty is to support these decisions with a feasibility analysis that provides security.
