Accelerating Digital Solutions

Using a planned approach and iterative improvements, an accelerated development approach allows B2B companies to get to market fast with a solid base and then build iteratively on that base in time-bound increments to continuously deliver new features and functionality to their projects.


Spin up

The setup and starting point for all basic functionality to be iterated on.


MVP

Minimum viable product: The default release, along with uniquely configured standard features and functionality. 


GTM

Go-To-Market is where extra functionality and must-have features are added before launch. 


Launch

Spin up, MVP and GTM are complete, and the site is launched to your customers.


Enhance

Development of new features not included in MVP or GTM, as well as optimization of SEO, analytics & more.

Accelerated development ensures that your project happens fast.

What is Accelerated Development?

We use Gesso, our decoupled accelerator, to power our accelerated development process, applying Agile and Scrum principles, carefully selected technologies, and a focus on B2B needs.

This powerhouse path helps teams iterate often and launch quickly.

Gesso has been pre-loaded with hand-selected platforms and functionalities that allow projects to launch quickly with a curated selection of systems and features for flexible, ongoing improvements.

Gesso’s pre-built integrations enable companies to connect their data with a composable commerce architecture, allowing B2B companies to harness the power of their data.

By concentrating solely on the B2B sector, we've cultivated a deep understanding of the industry's intricacies. This enables us to provide specialized expertise and innovative solutions that drive tangible results for our clients.

Our Scrum framework provides a system that allows teams to develop and learn by reflecting on experience to improve continuously. It helps individuals, teams, and organizations generate value by finding adaptive solutions to complex problems.

B2B companies need the ability to test new technologies to determine if they are worth a more significant investment. Accelerated development allows for quick implementation and testing to prove or disprove value.

Why Use Accelerated Development?

Accelerated development, powered by Gesso, offers a transparent, collaborative, and iterative approach that keeps stakeholders informed, minimizes risk, and adapts to changing needs, unlike traditional methods. This ensures projects stay on track and deliver maximum value.

It also helps avoid


Analysis paralysis

Do not get caught up in a constant state of planning and revisions, trying to perfect the outcome, as you would in a waterfall-style project.


Chasing waterfalls

Waiting until the entire project is finished to see the working code/product takes months or years to realize value.


Waiting for the “perfect” time

Delaying taking the first steps toward digital transformation, waiting for the “right time” when everything is planned out, which rarely, if ever, arrives.

  • Collaborative and inclusive from day one.
  • Step-by-step consultation based on your unique goals.
  • Actively choose your online future.
  • Put your stakeholders in the driver's seat.
  • Outline business impacts for your teams.

"We wanted to begin by protecting our revenue streams overall, and those associated with our digital platform. And there’s no doubt in our minds that the work Acro Commerce has done for us has provided that protection and has enabled us to grow in a couple of dimensions: one, we’re seeing growth in terms of revenue; we’re seeing growth in terms of new customer acquisition; we’re seeing growth in average order size; and we’re seeing growth indicators in areas of a satisfying customer experience."

"The golden rule in Agile design has always been: you can have it fast, you can have it well priced, or you can have it high quality, but you can’t have all 3, so pick 2. Acro has been able to defy this rule on numerous occasions over the last year through Agile prioritized execution, precise, detailed planning to reduce rework, and continual validation of design to ensure business needs are being met. It is this partnership between TELUS and Acro Commerce that has kept us coming back time and time again for further development and enhancements."
