Core offering

Align Studio is a digital product consultancy that helps organizations build digital products from concept to market. It provides an integrated offering covering digital product and technology strategy, feasibility studies and UX/product design, team building with agile coaching, and technical architecture and software development — frequently delivered as an interim or embedded product team.

Product overview

Align Studio is a digital product strategy and development consultancy that offers a unified suite of services rather than a packaged software product. Their core offerings encompass digital product strategy (including product and technology strategy and interim product ownership), team building (with training on product development best practices and coaching on agile methodologies), feasibility study and design (from user interviews to finalized product, including due diligence documentation), and technical architecture and development (from setting up organizational infrastructure to ground-up digital product development). The company has delivered client projects such as the Hedera Dx liquid biopsy platform, built as an interim product development team from September 2021, taking the MVP from research to market in 10 months. No standalone named products, SaaS offerings, or modules are offered for external sale — Align Studio operates as a services firm that builds bespoke digital products for its clients.
