Digital transformation consultancy services

A Quick Start service for early project validation

Not sure where to begin? In just a few weeks, a senior analyst and architect assess your IT infrastructure and project ideas. You gain clear insight into feasibility, weak points, and risks before investing further.

Ideal for preliminary analysis, second opinions, and resource or cost optimization. Outcome: a documented project definition.

Digital transformation strategy consulting

We work with leaders and teams to assess vision against feasibility, risk, and total cost of ownership. Hidden constraints surface early, and usability insights support adoption.

Helmes helps validate your strategy and turn it into a practical action plan, grounded in what teams can realistically build and run – enabling clearer decisions and faster learning.

Designing successful outsourcing processes

Outsourcing and nearshoring are more complex in practice than they appear on paper. This service supports organizations managing multiple internal and external teams while defining their nearshoring strategy.

We help redesign structures, processes, and governance so responsibilities are clear and teams can operate with confidence.

Executive consultancies

Executive consulting & 1-on-1 sparring partner

Work directly with one of our most senior experts for high-level strategic support. This executive consultancy gives you ongoing, 1-on-1 sparring to sharpen decisions, map out digital transformation, and navigate complex software development challenges with confidence and clarity.

Productive ideations and brainstorming

Bring your key people together for a guided, high-impact ideation session moderated by a senior expert such as Eliis Väert. We design and facilitate a structured round-table workshop, help turn ideas into a coherent strategy, and define a clear path forward for your digital innovation goals.

Expert support for AI initiatives

Helmes has the largest AI & data team in the region.

With 10+ years of hands-on experience delivering real-world AI solutions, Helmes helps you cut through hype and focus on what creates tangible value. 

 

AI value scan

AI pressure is high, but unclear direction leads to wasted pilots and poor returns.

The AI Value Scan gives you fast, practical clarity on where to invest in AI, and what to avoid. You will get: clear view of your AI readiness; prioritized, high-impact AI use cases; practical AI roadmap with next steps, and clarity into which AI initiatives not to pursue. 

Performance and technology consultations

ROI measurement, delta prediction

We’ll help you see whether your strategy is actually working. By setting up clear, real-time performance tracking, you’ll be able to connect progress to business goals and measurable value. This will lead to faster learning, better decisions, and ROI that will show up throughout the journey – not just at the end.

Technology assessment

We’ll help you make decisions about technology that truly support the business. By reviewing your systems, we’ll uncover technical debt, risks, and extra complexity; then define realistic architectures and roadmaps your teams can deliver. The result is lower cost, less risk, and tech that holds up over time.

Cybersecurity assessment

We’ll give you clear, independent insight into how secure your systems really are. Our assessments will uncover real vulnerabilities and translate them into practical, business-relevant priorities. You’ll get a clear plan to strengthen security, build trust, and meet requirements – without chasing theoretical risks.

Delivery excellence

Our consultants are hands-on experts with large-scale business-critical digital solution experience. They can be your sparring partners from kick-off to delivery, helping you achieve top productivity with empowered teams. Our focus is solely on tangible value, like helping you achieve 2x faster time-to-market with high complexity and without failure.

We can be your short-cut to trade secrets and digital transformation success.
