Revolutionize Your Digital Transformation: Shipping 4 Apps in 9 Months

In just 9 months we shipped four production apps for one enterprise client,1 iOS, 1 Android, 2 web portals. Let that sink in 🤯

Most “digital-transformation” vendors would still be polishing slide # 37 of the vision deck. What Omid Sajedi and I are doing is unheard of. Here’s the contrast ⬇️

🛑 The Old Way:

❌ Heavy on strategy slides, glacial on execution

❌ 6- to 18-month roadmaps before users see anything real

❌ Audits & architecture deep-dives nobody asked for

❌ Top-down consulting (client = passive listener)

❌ Focus on process re-engineering, not user value

❌ Rigid, expensive retainers

❌ Built for corporate bureaucracy, not momentum

✅ The Bonanza Way:

✅ Start building on day 1 – validation over theorisation

✅ 4-week delivery sprints → tangible wins every month

✅ User-centred MVPs that scale with ambition

✅ Embedded collaboration (client = co-creator)

✅ User-obsessed innovation that drives measurable growth and create bottom-up alignment in your organization

✅ Lean, modular, flexible engagements — adapt as we learn

✅ Perfect fit for ambitious, growth-driven organisations

While traditional agencies strategize the dream,

we ship the dream — faster than you thought possible.

Rethinking Digital Transformation: A Tale of Four Apps in Nine Months

Rethinking Digital Transformation: A Tale of Four Apps in Nine Months

Picture this: Four production apps, two web portals, one iOS, and an android app all shipped within nine months for a single enterprise client. Not the result of magic, but a strategic move that upended the usual painstaking and slow process of app production. Incredible, isn't it? But allow me to assure you, it's an achievement rooted in reinventing the standard process, a revolution in digital transformation. Let's dive right into it.

Dissecting the Antiquated Process of Digital Transformation

The Inefficiencies in the Old Order

The traditional route to digital transformation often results in a disheartening process marked by stretched timelines and vast expenditure. The focus is disproportionately tilted towards creating elaborate strategy slides with very little emphasis on execution. By the time users see anything real, it can be anywhere from six to eighteen months, sometimes even more.

The Arduous Architecture Audits

Ever been in a process where audits and architecture deep dives happen that no one particularly asked for? It's a common occurrence in the old way of digital transformation. Some might argue it's crucial for perfection, but when it's not serving a purpose or answering a need, it tends to lean more towards unnecessary delay.

From Passivity to Process Obsession

The traditional model favors a top-down approach, where the client acts as a passive listener, taking in all the 'expert' advice. While consulting can be a vital part of any process, transforming digitally warrants a more collaborative approach. The old-way focus also hinges more on process re-engineering, sacrificing user value. Is that in the best interest of an evolving business environment? I'd say – not so much.

"Old ways don't open new doors. Innovation begins with challenging the status quo."
  • Innovation requires stepping away from established processes.
  • Engaging clients as active participants leads to more meaningful digital transformations.

The Bonanza Way: A Radical Rethinking

A Day 1 Start to Validate and Implement

Our approach prioritizes action over theorization. Instead of spending time designing the "perfect" strategy, we begin building on day one. We still value strategy, but we balance it with implementation because, at the end of the day, action drives progress.

Shorter Sprints, Quicker Wins

The Bonanza Way commits to 4-week delivery sprints. This tightened process results in tangible wins every month, maintaining momentum, keeping everyone involved motivated, and, most importantly, delivering value to the users consistently and swiftly.

"At Bonanza Studios, we do not just strategize. We execute, create, and deliver."

User-Centered MVPs That Scale

Our focus is on creating Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) centric to users. These MVPs are not just timid prototypes but dynamic, scalable solutions that grow with the client's ambitions. This approach paves the way for a continual process of testing, learning, adjusting, and growth. Learn more about our user-centered approach here.

Navigating Through The Bonanza Journey

Clients Not Listeners, But Co-Creators

The Bonanza protocol advocates for treating clients not just as passive listeners but as active collaborators. Each client is embedded in the creation and execution process, co-creating a solution that truly meets their needs, values, and foresights.

Obsessed with Innovation That Yields Measurable Growth

There's an unmistakable obsession with innovation at the heart of our digital transformation approach. But it's not innovation for the sake of being innovative. We focus on user-oriented innovation that drives measurable growth, cultivates bottom-up alignment within the organization, and fuels future success.

  • Emphasizing co-creation over mere consultation.
  • Focusing on actionable, measurable innovation.

Flexible, Lean, And Modular Engagements

The scope of digital transformation should not be rigid. We build in room for change. Bonanza Studios' digital transformation processes are lean, modular, and flexible, allowing the project to adapt as we uncover new insights or face unforeseen challenges.

Cutting Through Corporate Bureaucracy

Goodbye, Long-Drawn Corporate Red-Tape

Cutting-edge digital transformation doesn’t fit snuggly into the confines of drawn-out corporate bureaucracy. We've designed our process to be dynamic, iterative, and rapid. While corporate bureaucracy has its strengths, it often builds walls where doorways are needed.

Our approach at Bonanza Studios is designed to cater to ambitious organizations that are driven by growth and not just maintaining the status quo. If your organization thrives on aiming for the stars and constantly fanning the flames of innovation, the Bonanza Way is your tailor-made companion.
