I encourage my team to go beyond mere project administration and become a real project locomotive — to pave the shortest and easiest way to a project’s goals.
Facts

- Collaboration with the client-side stakeholders or other involved IT vendors that encompasses regular joint planning, knowledge sharing, and reporting.
Business Analysis and Financial IT Consulting Team
The goal of a business analyst is not to collect a client’s requirements as if they are ready and just waiting to be noted down. Our goal is to piece together a complete picture of a client’s situation, pains, goals, and expectations, both voiced by a client and elicited during our analysis.

Security and Compliance Team
I believe that it’s better to overthink than underthink in cybersecurity. As cybercriminals are constantly inventing new ways to attack, we should constantly be on guard, tracing and blocking new tricks of evil minds.

- Security program development. Our security program covers risk management, protective measures, threat detection, incident response and recovery. It may target to protect software, underlying IT infrastructure components, and business data. We can also help you devise security policies and educate your employees to detect and react to social engineering attacks.

UX/UI Design Team
Design trends come and go. I certainly encourage my team to stay aware of trends but don’t support using them blindly just for the sake of being modern. Brand identity and a timeless sense of style are much more reliable cornerstones to build on.
Facts
- There are 10+ UX and UI designers in our team.
- We've been designing software for as long as we've been providing software development services — since 1989 — as one can’t go without the other.

What the team does for our clients
- UX research and wireframing that lays the basis for usability in our software design. For each user persona created by the business analysis team, we plan user journeys. When we are confident in our understanding of users’ needs, we create wireframes as the first visual outline of the future design.
- UI design. We discuss your wishes and expectations regarding the style, color scheme, obligatory branding elements, and other important design nuances and visualize the software interface.
- UX and UI redesign. If you don’t need or don’t want to redevelop your software right now but feel that it needs a breath of fresh air, we can noticeably improve its usability by simply giving it a new look.
Web Development Team
We always strive for the best user experience in web apps, meaning both the availability of all required workflows and their convenience. Sometimes, we have to reject a client’s idea and offer a viable alternative to achieve the goal.
Facts
- Our web development team comprises 60+ experts: web solution architects, front-end developers, and back-end developers coding in PHP, Python, and Golang.
- ScienceSoft has been developing web software since 1999, virtually from the dinosaur web era. Except that web development didn’t go extinct but evolved by leaps and bounds to more interactive and feature-rich web apps that perform fast even for thousands of simultaneous users.
- Since 2020, the team has got interested in Web 3.0 and started developing blockchain competencies to build a new type of web apps — decentralized finance apps.
- In total, we’ve done 1,900+ web projects, including web finance portals, digital payment solutions, BFSI operations management systems, and websites.
- BFSI companies who trusted their web solutions to ScienceSoft’s team:
What the team does for our clients
- Design and development of all types of web apps. Whether we are working on a simple corporate website or a multi-function business system, we always keep in mind scalable architecture, a user-friendly interface, and uninterrupted performance for various workloads.
- Web consulting. Our most experienced web experts can guide your web development activities. Depending on your needs, they can share the knowledge in the form of recommendations or audit the work performed by your team and provide feedback.

We see the potential of blockchain much wider than just for crypto assets and leverage such capabilities as unbiased verification, enhanced security, and full transaction traceability for managing supply chain processes, documents, health records, and other valuable assets. Our team will help you assess the feasibility of using blockchain for your business needs and build blockchain-based software with a decentralized architecture.
- Web software modernization. Web technologies are developing rapidly, and what was enough several years ago may be outdated now. Our team is ready to keep your app contemporary, bring its functionality in line with your current needs, and improve its non-functional characteristics, such as performance, scalability, or security.
Web development team — curious and ever-learning

Testing and QA Team
There is prejudice that software developers and testing engineers are antagonists, and the tension between them is inevitable. That’s not the attitude I foster at ScienceSoft.
