In up to 4 weeks, you go before the board with material you can decide on.
First step · Solution Concept
The direction of the solution, before you buy or build a system
Has the topic been circling for months, with nobody deciding?
In up to 4 weeks, through workshops and meetings, we work through the problem with the decision-maker and the future users. We describe what kind of system would solve the main problems and which way to go, together with a few screen sketches. This gives you material you can take to the board and decide on.
Who it is for, and when it is worth it
If you know what you want, but not what kind of system you need for it
A bad system choice starts when nobody has written down what is needed, so every vendor offers something different.
Who it is for
CIOs, heads of operations and project owners facing a system replacement or a new development.
When it is worth it
When the group or the owner expects a new digital service or system, and a decision has to be made.
What we need from you
The decision-maker and the future users need to take part in the workshops.
What it is not for
It does not develop anything, and does not choose a vendor on the company’s behalf. Nor does it provide a full requirements specification or a system design suitable for a tender. If you do not yet know where to start, the Situation Assessment is the right fit.
Does this sound familiar?
When the decision slips from month to month
We hear these sentences from CEOs and IT leaders.
Control
The debate comes back every quarter
“The topic has been circling for months, and nobody decides.”
CEO, large enterprise
In front of the board
Nothing to put on the table
“I need something I can take to the board.”
CEO, large enterprise
A bad purchase
The vendor quotes cannot be compared
“We mustn’t buy the wrong system.”
CEO, large enterprise
Vendor dependence
The vendor writes the requirements, tailored to its own product
“We shouldn’t be at the mercy of a vendor.”
Head of IT, mid-sized company
IT is left out
They decide without IT, and the integration problems only come to light afterwards
“How do I make sure my questions are asked before the decision too?”

Does this sound familiar?
If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk through what the Solution Concept could give you.
What you get at the end
A description you can decide on
Not a full requirements specification and not a detailed system design, but a basis for decision. You go before the board with a problem that has been worked through and a clear direction, and the debate does not start again.
- 01A worked-through description of the problem: who is affected, and where the work gets stuck
- 02What kind of system would solve the main problems: a ready-made product, one of our solutions or custom development
- 03Which way to go: what is worth starting with, and what can come next
- 04A few screen sketches of what the system would look like
- 05A rough cost range for the decision
How it runs
Up to 4 weeks, together with the users
01
Workshops and meetings
Over the four weeks, we hold as many workshops and meetings with the decision-maker and the future users as fit in. We go through who does what, where the work gets stuck, and what is needed.
02
The direction of the solution
We find out what kind of solution would suit you: a ready-made product, one of our solutions or custom development, and which way it is worth setting off.
03
Description
We describe the problem and the proposed direction, with a few screen sketches and a rough cost range.
04
Handover
We hand over the description you can decide on. It does not include a review round, because it is a basis for decision.
Price
HUF 199,000 + VAT, deducted from the price of your first development
A fixed price, up to 4 weeks. If you order the proposed development from us, we deduct the Solution Concept fee from its price. If you have it built by someone else, the concept is still yours.
Frequently asked questions
What leaders usually ask about the Solution Concept
Do we get a full system design we can use to issue a tender?
No. The Solution Concept is a basis for decision: it describes the problem and the direction of the solution. It does not include a full requirements specification, a detailed system design or a review round, so a tender needs further work.
Do we have to order from Omnit afterwards?
No. The proposal may be a ready-made product, one of our solutions or custom development. If you order the development from us, we deduct the Solution Concept fee from its price.
Who do we need to involve from the company?
The decision-maker and the future users, for the workshops and meetings.
How is it different from the Situation Assessment?
The Situation Assessment shows where most time goes on manual work, and what is worth starting with. The Solution Concept tells you, for a specific problem, what kind of system you need and which way to go, once you know what you want.
Do you have references?
We also use the service design method in our custom developments. We publish named cases with the client’s permission.
