What We Offer

Structured Analysis That Eliminates Guesswork

From stakeholder workshops to detailed specs β€” we give your dev team requirements they can actually build from without constant back-and-forth.

01
πŸ”

Process Discovery & Mapping

We map your current-state workflows using BPMN notation, identifying every handoff, bottleneck, and manual workaround β€” giving you a true picture before any redesign.

02
πŸ“

Requirements Engineering

Functional specs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and data dictionaries β€” written to the level of precision your engineering team needs to estimate and build accurately.

03
🀝

Stakeholder Facilitation

We run structured workshops with executives, product owners, and end users to align conflicting priorities and surface hidden requirements before they become change requests.

04
πŸ“

Gap & Impact Analysis

Systematic comparison of your current capabilities against target state β€” quantifying the effort, risk, and cost of each gap to inform prioritization.

05
πŸ“ˆ

Business Case Development

We build the financial case for technology investments β€” ROI models, cost-benefit analysis, and risk-adjusted projections your board can approve with confidence.

06

Integration Requirements Mapping

About This Service

Business Analysis That Actually Changes Outcomes

At OpenMalo, business analysis isn't about producing documents nobody reads. It's about creating shared understanding between business and technology β€” and keeping it alive through delivery.

βœ“
Embedded, Not External
Our analysts sit with your team, attend standups, and stay through implementation β€” not just the planning phase.
βœ“
FinTech Domain Expertise
Payments, lending, compliance, KYC β€” we speak the language of regulated industries and know what regulators expect.
βœ“
Living Documentation
Requirements evolve. We maintain traceability matrices and update specs as scope naturally shifts during delivery.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

β€œOpenMalo's BA team uncovered requirements our own product team had missed for two years. Their process mapping alone saved us from a $400K integration mistake. They're thorough without being slow.

RN
Rajesh Nair
VP Product, NovaPay

β€œWe brought OpenMalo in after two failed vendor attempts. Their business analysts sat with our compliance team, understood the regulatory landscape, and wrote specs that our developers could actually build from. Night and day difference.

EV
Elena Vasquez
CTO, Apex Insurance Group

β€œThe requirements documentation OpenMalo delivered became our single source of truth for the entire 18-month program. Every sprint planning started with their specs. Zero ambiguity.

Payment Gateway Redesign for NovaPay

How structured business analysis prevented a failed replatforming and delivered a payment gateway that processed 3Γ— more transactions with zero compliance findings.

The Challenge

A replatforming project that kept missing the target

NovaPay had attempted to rebuild their payment gateway twice with different vendors. Both times, unclear requirements led to scope creep, missed compliance needs, and abandoned builds.

Two previous build attempts failed at integration stage
No formal documentation of PCI-DSS requirements for the new system
Stakeholders across 4 departments with conflicting priorities
Legacy system undocumented β€” tribal knowledge only

Our Approach: 3-week embedded discovery across all four departments, BPMN process maps for 23 core workflows, 180-page requirements specification, PCI-DSS compliance matrix, and structured vendor evaluation criteria β€” successful build completed in 5 months.
