Stellar and Allshare, working together to structure the Product in a phase of SaaS transformation.
In this mission, Alexandre, a product strategy expert at Stellar, supported Pierre-Louis Giros, Product Director at Allshare, in the creation of the Product team, the definition of a clear roadmap and the implementation of the standardized software core, in order to support the company's SaaS transformation.
Pitch
Allshare has been a software publisher for over 30 years. The company provides powerful, customizable budget management, control and forecasting solutions to key accounts, via a low-code platform. Today, Allshare is evolving into a SaaS software company with a strong product culture, by strengthening its organization and its capacity to innovate on a large scale.
Your growth doesn't rely solely on Marketing and Sales.
A product that doesn't deliver on its promises is doomed to failure, even with the best marketing and sales people:
#1 Structuring a product organization to match your SaaS ambitions
Allshare wanted to strengthen its product culture by clarifying the vision, defining a shared roadmap and structuring roles. This evolution now enables us to better prioritize developments and accelerate the time-to-market of customer requests.
Structuring a product team
Creation of a Product Unit, appointment of a Product Director and recruitment of two Product Managers to frame the vision, organize roadmaps and support the SaaS transformation.
#2 Different versions for different customers
Each major account had its own specific instance of the platform, making it impossible to deploy updates simultaneously and multiplying maintenance costs.
Setting up a common, modular foundation
Development of a standardized software core, designed to accommodate specific customer requirements in the form of modules, guaranteeing product stability while enabling simultaneous deployment across the entire installed base.
#3 Low velocity and growing technical debt
The lack of standards and clear prioritization meant constant rework and long delivery times.
Implementation of an agile roadmap and processes
Definition of a precise, rhythmic roadmap, accompanied by product scoping methods, to improve visibility, prioritization and speed of execution.

Testimonial
"What I particularly appreciated was Stellar's ability to adapt their recommendations to our level of product maturity. We were starting from scratch and feared that their recommendations would be disconnected from our realities, or that the investment plan would be too heavy. On the contrary, their plan was fully adapted, yet ambitious. That's all it took to get the CODIR and all the teams on board."
