Jozef Antony Consulting

✔️ I’ve built software development teams from scratch for 10+ companies worldwide
✔️ 3 of my clients’ companies were later acquired by 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮, 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁, and 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸.
✔️ 25+ years of experience in the software development space

Here is a sample breakdown of two projects we have handled:

1:

The client is in the life science industry. We built a software development team from scratch. The software solution helped the company to run and document clinical trials. We acted as an outsourcing partner.

The company was later acquired by Medidata. And later, Medidata was acquired by Dassault Systeme. The team continued to operate and grow to 15-17 developers, testers, DevOps engineers. This partnership lasted for 6 years.

2:

Built a development outsourced team to work on one of the first file-sharing and collaboration platforms in 2005 (like Dropbox or Google Drive). The solution was focused on enterprise customers. They used it for file sharing and backup. It was scaled to 170.000 paying customers. The company was later sold to Autotask and later to Datto.

As an outsourcing partner, we scaled the team to 15-20 developers and testers. Responsible for the application development, testing, hiring developers, and managing day-to-day operations of the development team. We constantly communicate with partners in Denmark and the US. This partnership is still ongoing since its inception in 2005.

👉 4 Main Reasons Why Companies Can’t Build Market-Leading Products:

(𝗜) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁-𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱: Discovering that you cannot deliver fast enough. Communication friction, misunderstandings, and challenges between engineering, product, and business slow everything down.

(𝗜𝗜) 𝗜𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲: Encountering invisible barriers that hinder your business growth, whether they are technological limitations, inefficient processes, or gaps in team expertise.

(𝗜𝗜𝗜) 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: Revamping your technology or product features to stay relevant may require significant resources and time. Focusing on business value helps you navigate these issues easier and faster.

(𝗜𝗩) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲: The alarming possibility that product failures impact not just your customers' operations but also your hard-earned reputation.

Addressing these challenges requires more than just hard work and determination. 

As a Fractional CTO and Product Growth Partner - I help companies to:

✅ Focus on company objectives and align your teams with your big goals - building the wrong thing fast doesn’t bring any value. Focusing on business value constantly is the priority.

✅ Accelerate delivery without compromising quality - the common myth is that this cannot be accomplished; the opposite is true.

✅ Honest communication, even if (especially if) the news is not good. The dynamic business environment needs constant adjustment. Keeping the communication flow open ensures the project focuses on the business value.

✅ Establish a practical timeline through effective project management - mismanagement is a primary cause of software project failures. Keeping all parties in sync, especially key stakeholders, is crucial.

Statistical Consultant

AI and Data Expert with 10+ Years Experience | Public Speaker and Thought Leader | Democratising Data to Increase Effectiveness.

The increasing role of data within businesses means that we can no longer view it as a purely operational pursuit. We need to ensure that we have a balanced approach of operational, educational, and strategic thinking to ensure that any data methodologies can be used by the whole business and do not sit on a virtual shelf gathering virtual dust.

Recent developments within the data industry focus upon “ML Ops” which form part of the pinnacle of data within businesses. I believe that because of this many businesses overlook the impact of clear, concise, and understandable analytics that form part of the journey towards advanced technological methodologies. To put it another way, simply replacing the engine of a car with a more powerful one will not immediately make it go faster, in fact without ensuring all the parts are compatible or making the required adjustments this will make the car go slower and, in some cases, may cause the car not to work at all.

This is why when approaching the challenge of data within businesses I employ the three pillar approach of operations, education, and strategy to ensure that the tools we build are: fit for purpose, understood by the business, and can influence the thinking of the business. This approach democratises data within businesses and leads to improved effectiveness.

I have employed this approach successfully with businesses of varying sizes and in multiple industries, thereby growing the excitement and overall use of data beyond a piece of technology that only gets brought out during pitches or high profile meetings.
