Improving Product Development Flow with Data

Since 2011, our mission at Exathink has been to help our clients maximize the customer value delivered by their software product teams. Our research driven advisory practice helps software companies implement programs that continuously improve product development flow using granular data to drive decisions at every level: team, middle management and executives.

We can help you

Create delivery processes that reduce the time to value while improving product quality
Build a sustainable delivery culture that aligns software teams with customer and company goals

Despite being the beating heart of a multi-trillion dollar sector of the global economy, it is astonishing that there are still very few ways for software teams to make economically critical decisions to improve delivery processes using hard data.

We aim to fix that.
