A few years ago, a tech entrepreneur had a clear vision: to transform his company’s logistics management through a custom platform that offered efficiency, traceability, and real-time control. He had identified a gap in the market, had the resources to start the project, but was missing a key piece: a technology partner who not only knew how to develop software, but could also strategically guide him from concept to execution. That’s when he discovered software consulting services and realized the difference between just building something and building it right.
At Rootstack, we are that strategic partner. Because we understand that today, in an environment where technology evolves faster than ever, a good idea alone is not enough. You need experience, technical vision, continuous support, and an effective methodology to bring that idea to life.
What exactly is software consulting?
Software consulting goes far beyond technical advice. It’s a specialized service focused on analyzing a company’s technological needs, diagnosing problems, identifying improvement opportunities, and proposing viable, scalable solutions aligned with business goals. Most importantly: it’s done with a strategic perspective.
According to a study by Statista, the global IT consulting market surpassed $60 billion in 2023, a figure that shows how more and more companies value expert guidance before making a major tech investment.
Why do you need consulting before developing software?
Many companies jump into development without a clear strategy. The result: software that doesn’t fit the business, budgets that spiral out of control, and products that don’t scale. With solid software consulting, you can avoid those mistakes. Some key benefits include:
• Early validation of your project’s technical feasibility.
• Strategic alignment between business goals and software functionality.
• Cost reduction by avoiding common errors.
• Proper selection of sustainable technologies and architectures.
In other words, strong technology consulting can make the difference between a digital project’s success and failure.

Success stories that back our expertise
One of our financial sector clients in Latin America needed to migrate several critical applications to a cloud-native architecture. After a three-week consulting phase, we redesigned their tech ecosystem with microservices, Docker containers, and automated infrastructure management using Terraform. The result: 45% reduction in deployment time and a 60% drop in production errors.
Another client in the healthcare sector implemented a telemedicine platform based on our technical advice, fully compliant with HIPAA regulations, and scaled to over 200,000 users in less than six months.
