Overcoming Challenges with Cyrex Workshops & Battleplans

When it comes to challenges, issues, and problems, you have to start with a plan. Anything can feel messy and problematic or impossible to overcome if you’re just attacking it without any thought.

With Cyrex, one of our most used and successful solutions is a workshop where our team and yours will develop a comprehensive and thorough plan. We like to think of it as a battleplan, an A-Z plan of what the issue is, how to solve it, and contingencies against other potential issues.

Why consider a workshop with Cyrex?

First and foremost, our workshops are not an agreement to work with us long-term or even short-term. They’re not an agreement on your part to do anything other than discuss the problem with an expert team, and let us do what we do best: Solve problems and develop plans. If you decide that you like the plan but would like to take it elsewhere, be our guest. These workshops cannot be something that ties you down. The Cyrex goal is always the same, whether you work with us or not. That is a safer, more secure, and stable digital space for all.

As for the workshops themselves, they became our go-to for one reason. They combine two of the best things for our clients and for solving their problems. Firstly, a very small short term commitment with a huge long term value proposition. Nothing major, but you won’t have to break the bank to develop this solution In terms of investment to results, this is hugely in your favour. You’ll get access to our team wholesale to figure out your problem and develop a solution for the entire project. Secondly, piece of mind knowing that you’ve done the right move and due diligence to get you product the best possible kickstart it can You’ll have the security and trust of knowing what needs to be done, steps to take to achieve that goal, and what you have ahead of you. This knowledge means you can prepare and plan before embarking on an expensive and lengthy project, and maximise its chances of success

If you’re interested in developing a solution, efficiently in both time and cost, then our workshops are for you. We get involved, we listen, and then we develop our strategy. The Cyrex team don’t just say yes at the first hurdle. We check out the hurdles ahead, see how to approach them, and how best we can get through the challenge for you.

How do Cyrex Workshops differ from others?

Typically, most companies in the industry will just take a rough measure of the situation and deliver a proposal. We, however,  refrain from giving our estimates without knowing as much as one can about the scope and complexity involved in your specific project. Without some proper investigation, how are quotes going to be accurate? These endeavours are long-term trust relationships between the client and teams such as ours. We want that assessment to be the beginning of a trusting and honest business relationship. The Cyrex team help themselves, knowing that an informed client will be in a far better place overall.

Beyond that, our goal in the workshop isn’t just to teach you the solutions to the problem. It’s to expose the simple fact that “you don’t know what you don’t know”, show you the caveats, the edge-cases, and explore them. Once you shine lights in the dark, you can start getting around safely and you don’t have to tiptoe in case you knock something over. Our team will be investigating and asking questions to ensure there are no unknowns or secrets waiting around the corner to upset the project cycle.

We also go all-in. It’s not just listening to the story and uncover the tech challenges. We know that for every technical project and product out there, there is an entire context behind it, and we want to know about it. Our team ensures this by bringing in every facet of our team into the process. Tech, security, design, product, marketing, planning, strategy, we put your concepts to the test in every avenue. Through this method, the hard questions get asked and as a whole we discover what you need. Even if you didn’t know it yourself.

Cyrex’ workshops are designed to investigate and inform all parties. From there, the Cyrex team deliver scope, user feedback, and a roadmap. We call the delivery a battleplan. A comprehensive way forward.

What do you get out of a Cyrex Workshop?

You get a clear and comprehensive look ahead. Effectively, we’ll say what you need to do, what tech to use, how to go about it, and how long it’ll take. Once unknowns are made known, we can clearly offer a path forward.

To break it down further, this workshop will give you and your team a clear view of the scope and deliverables. From there, you’ll know what you need to do. It will also inform you of the tech we propose and why we’re proposing it. An exploration can take anywhere in a scale of weeks to months in terms of research, experimentation, engineering, refactoring, and more. Through this process, you’ll understand exactly what you need to use, what the cost will be, what limitations the tech has going forward, and how and when it will scale.

You will receive a proposal for planning and project milestones which means you’ll have a clear guideline on how long and what size staff is required to implement this battleplan. The timeline and costs are up to you after the workshop, everything can be played with. And lastly, this is a blueprint or a recipe you can take with you anywhere and have it made by a decent team.

Worst case scenario for us is still a win in our eyes, you decide to go elsewhere. We make a small investment to get a huge amount of information to you and you receive a project proposal that is sound and effective. If that is the case, we’ll still be happy. So long as that plan is executed, we’re satisfied that you and your clients will have a safer, more stable, and more efficient operation going forward. 

What you get out of our workshop, if you opt to work with us, is the right tool for the job. We can be a scalpel when you need it or a sledgehammer if the situation requires it! We cover every avenue and you can trust in our team. Every single member of our team is a rockstar and we’re immensely proud of our talented and intelligent Cyrex engineers and developers. So, what do you get? After a short meeting, our incredible team will have a good idea of what you need fixed, how much it’ll cost, and what the benefits are to its repair.

In short, you’ll receive our battleplan for your problem. It’s a technical design document that will cover all the features and challenges in need of addressing. It will also include a proposal for a timeline, a team, an architecture, stack, integrations, report for implementation, and our estimated cost of the work.
