About Stratega Business Consulting

What makes STRATEGA different from other consulting or tech firms?

STRATEGA stands out because we are a truly integrated partner. While many firms specialize in just strategy, design, or development, we offer all three under one roof with our own in-house team of analysts, project managers, UX designers, developers, and QA specialists. This eliminates communication gaps, reduces project risk, and ensures seamless accountability from strategy through execution. We focus on aligning technology with your specific business goals to deliver measurable impact, not just deliverables.

Which industries do you serve?

We bring strategic insight, innovative design, and technical execution to a wide range of industries, including Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail & E-Commerce, Manufacturing & Industrials, Professional Services, and Technology & Media. Our approach combines deep industry understanding with cross-sector best practices to solve your unique challenges effectively.

Do you work with startups, mid-size companies, or large enterprises?

We partner with businesses of all sizes. For startups and scale-ups, we help build Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) quickly and efficiently, validate ideas, and establish scalable foundations. For mid-size companies, we focus on process optimization, digital enablement, and competitive differentiation. For large enterprises, we tackle complex digital transformation initiatives, system modernization, and innovation acceleration. Our approach is always tailored to your organization's specific size, stage, and objectives.

Where are you located, and do you work remotely?

Our headquarters are in London (2nd Floor, Berkeley Square House, Berkeley Square, London W1J 6BD), which serves as our primary hub for client engagement and project coordination. However, our integrated team works collaboratively, and we are fully equipped to manage projects with clients and team members globally through secure communication tools, virtual workshops, and agile project management practices. Geographic location is never a barrier to partnership.

Our Services

What services do you offer?

We offer a comprehensive suite of integrated services designed to drive business transformation: Business Analysis & Strategy (including Data Analytics), Project Management, UX Research & Design, Software Development, Software Testing & QA, Cybersecurity, Cloud Solutions, Digital Transformation, and Change Management. We can provide any single service or combine them for end-to-end project delivery.

Do you offer fixed-price contracts or time-and-materials?

Our contracting model is flexible and depends on the nature and scope of your project. For well-defined projects with clear requirements (e.g., building a specific feature or migrating a known dataset), we can often provide a fixed-price quote. For more exploratory work, complex transformations, or ongoing development, a time-and-materials model based on dedicated team resources is typically more suitable. We discuss the best approach during our initial consultation.

Can you help if I only have an idea and need help building it?

Absolutely! We excel at taking ideas from concept to reality. Our Business Analysis service helps refine your idea into a clear strategic vision and actionable plan. We then use our UX Research & Design capabilities to prototype and validate the concept with potential users. Finally, our development team can build your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or full-scale solution, ensuring you get a functional product to market quickly.

How do you ensure the quality of the work produced?

Quality is embedded in our process. From the start, our Business Analysts define clear acceptance criteria. Our UX process includes usability testing. Our developers follow best practices like code reviews and pair programming. Dedicated QA engineers perform continuous testing (manual and automated) throughout the development cycle. Our Project Managers ensure adherence to standards and timelines. This integrated approach, combined with our internal accountability, ensures consistently high-quality deliverables.

Our Process & Approach

What does your project process look like?

Our process is designed for integration and agility. It typically follows these phases: 1) Discover & Define (Understanding your goals, users, and requirements), 2) Design & Plan (Creating UX designs, technical architecture, and a detailed project plan), 3) Build & Test (Iterative development with continuous testing), 4) Deploy & Optimize (Launching the solution and fine-tuning performance), and 5) Adopt & Sustain (Ensuring user adoption and long-term success through Change Management). The specifics are tailored to each project.

How do you manage projects and communicate progress?

Every project is managed by a dedicated Project Manager who acts as your single point of contact. We establish a clear communication plan at the outset, including regular check-ins (daily standups for agile projects, weekly/bi-weekly status meetings), detailed progress reports, and access to real-time project dashboards. We use collaborative tools to ensure transparency and keep you informed of milestones, risks, and next steps throughout the engagement.

Do you work in Agile, Waterfall, or a hybrid approach?

We are methodology-agnostic and choose the approach that best fits your project's needs and your organization's culture. We have deep expertise in Agile/Scrum methodologies, which are excellent for iterative development and responding to change. For projects with very well-defined scopes and requirements, a Waterfall approach might be suitable. Often, we use a hybrid model, combining the structure of Waterfall for initial planning with Agile practices for execution.

How long does a typical project take?

Project duration varies greatly depending on scope, complexity, and specific requirements. A small, focused project like a single feature or a basic website redesign might take 4-8 weeks. A medium-sized application development project could take 3-6 months. Large-scale digital transformation initiatives often span many months to years. During our initial consultation, we will provide a much more accurate timeline estimate based on your specific goals.

Technical & Strategic Questions

Diving deeper into our specialized services.

How do you integrate UX Design with Business Strategy and Development?

Integration is core to our model. Our Business Analysts work closely with UX Researchers to ensure user needs align with business objectives. UX Designers collaborate with Software Developers and Architects from the early stages, ensuring designs are technically feasible and optimized for performance. This constant cross-functional dialogue ensures that the final product is strategically sound, user-centric, and robustly built.

What technologies do you specialize in?

Our team is skilled in a broad range of modern technologies to ensure we use the best tool for your project. For Frontend: React, Angular, Vue.js. For Backend: Node.js, Python (Django, Flask), Java (Spring Boot), .NET. For Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Native iOS/Android. For Cloud: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform. For Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB. We select the stack based on your specific requirements for performance, scalability, and maintainability.

How do you approach Data Analytics and ensure data quality?

We view Data Analytics as a strategic driver, often integrated within our Business Analysis process. We start by understanding your data landscape and business questions. We then design robust data pipelines for collection and integration, implement rigorous data profiling and cleansing procedures to ensure quality, and use advanced analytics tools (Python, R, SQL, BI platforms) to extract actionable insights. Data governance practices are established to maintain quality over time.

What security measures do you implement?

Security is a fundamental consideration, not an afterthought. We integrate security practices into every phase: Secure architecture design during planning, secure coding practices during development, automated security scanning and penetration testing during QA, and secure deployment practices (DevSecOps). We also provide dedicated Cybersecurity services for comprehensive risk assessment, compliance management, and ongoing monitoring to protect your assets and reputation.

How do you help ensure user adoption of new systems or processes?

This is where our dedicated Change Management practice comes into play. We start by identifying key stakeholders and understanding potential resistance points. We develop a tailored communication strategy, create targeted training programs, and provide ongoing support. We track adoption metrics and use reinforcement techniques to embed changes into your organizational culture, ensuring the long-term success and value realization of your investment.

Can you help migrate our existing systems to the cloud?

Yes, Cloud Migration is a core service. We begin with a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure, applications, and data. We then develop a migration strategy (rehost, refactor, rebuild, replace) tailored to your specific needs and risk tolerance. Our cloud architects design a secure and scalable target environment, and our engineers execute the migration with minimal downtime, followed by optimization for performance and cost-efficiency in the new cloud environment.
