PA Consulting Group's technology consulting team develops new products for clients across a broad range of sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, communications and electronics, consumer products and transport. We provide a one-stop product development service to clients who wish to take a product to market, from initial concepts, through design and development and into manufacture, supply chain set-up and support. Clients often choose to work with us on a part of the product development process, for which they require specific help.
Effective product development and commercialisation is a central driver of business growth. Line extensions and evolutionary development are an important source of revenue and profit to businesses, but the greatest return often comes from revolutionary developments – creating game-changing products and markets using new technologies and service models. By their very nature, these developments tend to be higher risk with higher reward.
Our recent product development work includes:
-
helping Catapult/IXIA develop an LTE Physical Layer for their advanced cellular test system in under 10 months
-
helping Sphere Medical develop a novel diagnostic instrument in nine months
-
and helping Tri-Air Developments on their novel decontamination product.
We add most value where the development is difficult because it involves:
-
commercialisation of new science or technology
-
translation of consumer or market insight into a product solution
-
integration of complex systems – frequently incorporating software, electronics, mechanical and scientific methods
-
rapid development to capitalise on a market opportunity
-
highly regulated products or services
-
products targeted across different sectors, so a broad understanding is essential
-
specialist skills integrated into the client team.
Our clients select us to help because we excel in collaboratively delivering leading edge technologies and market insights into commercial products. We:
-
build long-term relationships based on partnerships with clients, jointly addressing risks and solutions
-
provide access to highly-skilled subject matter experts in a targeted fashion which maximises the value provided
-
provide in-house facilities to enable the rapid iterations required to cut the product development lifecycle and provide early feedback
-
safeguard security when dealing with sensitive commercial or intellectual property
-
link seamlessly with the rest of PA to provide clients with a service that incorporates the best practice from management consulting and technology consulting.
