Executives' opinion on our IT consulting services
They are great advisors - even a single consultation can be of great value to your project. Initially, I purchased a product from their company and later decided to engage their services for an application audit - without any doubt, Vazco is a real digital one-stop shop.
I am delighted in terms of ROI - the audit was conducted swiftly, surpassing my expectations. Not only did they deliver exceptional value, but their approach was also characterized by utmost professionalism.

Vazco and aleno have been cooperating for a very long time, and that means something. What I value most in Vazco is the way they combine technical expertise with business understanding. It's a real asset of working with them.
Eli Geoffroy
Chief Product Officer of aleno
Our feelings about working with Vazco are extremely positive overall. I think what I really respect about Vazco is its technical expertise. We came to them with really challenging problems, and they've delivered high-quality solutions in a short amount of time.
Luke Miller
Founder & CEO of Fiero Code
We're impressed with the quality and pace of work. We had not prepared a sufficiently extensive initial backlog for the team, as we were not expecting them to move through the initial tasks so quickly.

An audit extends beyond fixing a single issue; it delivers a spectrum of advantages. Together, they positively impact the overall value of your product.
This service is a strategic investment in the sustained growth of your product. A comprehensive audit can streamline processes and optimize technology use, potentially saving hundreds of development hours. The higher hourly rate for expert consultants is offset by the significant cost savings they deliver. Depending on the project's scale, this accounts for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars saved.
An audit is a strategic investment with immediate perks. Among our recommendations, you can find quick wins — low-effort changes with substantial, swift impact. Depending on the audit's focus, these enhancements can boost various facets of your product, from processes and security to performance, potentially leading to higher conversion rates, more app downloads, and other measurable gains.

Now, you can focus your development efforts on what truly matters and also provide your investors with an excellent summary.
Just as regular health checkups are crucial for well-being, periodic audits are essential for your product's health. They help uncover potential risks early, averting future complications. Whether you're preparing for an investor pitch, evolving from an MVP, or holding a solid market position, an audit ensures your product is on the right track.

Consulting goes beyond just following best practices; it's about the experts who offer top-notch guidance to help your product thrive.
Michał Weskida
Software Architect & Tech Lead
The audits that we’ve done have always brought immense value to our clients. One of them, after being implemented, led to a 2-year collaboration and a fully-fledged joined-team effort in expanding the product’s functionalities. Not only the code changes were well received, but also our expertise in managing big teams and organizing work processes, which led to much-improved efficiency of everyone involved.
Maciej Stasiełuk
Chief Technology Officer
An audit provides a straightforward path to gain insights from seasoned professionals who can illuminate all aspects affecting an application. When teams are deeply involved in a project day in and day out, they may become blind to both its strengths and flaws. Our fresh eyes are unburdened by this familiarity. Moreover, an audit is an opportune moment to reassess your team's extensive "wishlist," helping to prioritize tasks effectively within your timeline.
Wojciech Adamek
Software Architect & Tech Lead
General static code audits are the low-hanging fruit to ensure that your project stays healthy. It is very easy to get too comfortable with your own codebase and overlook things. An external, fresh, unopinionated look can shine a new perspective on your project. This can help you catch obvious bugs, inconsistencies, and outdated or incorrect patterns. Proper discovery and assessment of these things can tremendously boost your product's quality and Developer Experience in a short amount of time.
