Introducing: The Ultimate Intelligent Automation Platform

You had a clear vision. You invested time, money, and effort into a software solution—only to end up with something that did not deliver. Sound familiar? We have been there too, and we have watched countless businesses struggle with the same frustration. 

Driven by the desire to turn ambition into reality, without anything getting lost in translation,  we set out to create a solution ourselves, inspired by the new possibilities of AI and IA (Intelligent Automation). Enter MyStekz: an intelligent agent-based automation platform that seamlessly helps you go from a business idea into an aligned IT solution. It enables business and IT to build on common ground and speak the same language. A place where goals can be defined, designed, and achieved.

Lost in Translation? Why IT Projects Fall Short

In software development, disconnects between requirements and delivery stem from several factors. Business owners often have a basic understanding of what they want to achieve—e.g., operational efficiency, or streamlined workflows. However, translating these goals into technical specifications can lead to misunderstandings. It’s like speaking two different languages; the intentions are there, but vital details get lost in translation. Delays and mismatches can result in wasted resources, missed growth opportunities, or even complete project failure. The idea of using structured methodologies and tools to solve these miscommunications is nothing new. In fact, it has been researched and applied as early as the 1970’s.

At Stekz we reinvented software development to tackle these problems. And it shows. Our in-house platform MyStekz has been a tremendous help in stepping up our game. Here’s how it can help you level up yours.

Alignment Made Easy with MyStekz

Are you struggling with delays, rising costs, or misaligned expectations in your IT projects? MyStekz helps businesses like yours prevent these issues by aligning business and IT from day one.

Firstly, what actually causes these alignment problems? A small selection of the most important challenges:

  • Unrealistic expectations from stakeholders due to a lack of technical understanding.
  • Scope creep driven by shifting business priorities.
  • Missed deadlines caused by poor collaboration and siloed teams.
  • Rising costs resulting from outdated systems, redundant efforts, or poor initial planning.

 While there are existing solutions to solve these problems, they are largely inaccessible to most organizations.

Think of your business as a theme park. Each section—Adventure Land, Water World, or Kids’ Zone—has its own rules, attractions, and staff. Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is like mapping out these areas so everything runs smoothly. Just as a theme park manager needs clear maps and guidelines for each zone, businesses need well-defined domains to organize their IT systems. DDD ensures your software reflects the real-world structure of your company, preventing miscommunication and chaos.

While powerful, solutions like DDD are intricate and highly technical in nature, making them daunting for most. Our mission is to simplify and democratize these solutions so every business, both big and small, can benefit. Scaling with technology doesn’t have to be a headache—it can be seamless, effortless, and free of unnecessary complexity.

This vision inspired us to create MyStekz, a comprehensive, Intelligent Automation platform helping businesses grow without being tripped up by technical hurdles. With MyStekz, we’re transforming software development, letting organizations focus on scaling with confidence. More bizz, less fuzz.

Why MyStekz Matters: The Common Ground for Business and IT

In essence, MyStekz is a web-based platform based on the BizDevOps method, which stands for Business, Development, and Operations. It is a holistic way to make business objectives an integral part of the software development process. Think of it like an architect, a construction team, and building maintenance. The architect (business) designs the blueprint, the construction team (developers) builds according to the plan, and the maintenance crew (operations) ensures everything stays functional and efficient over time. If they don’t communicate well, you get delays, cost overruns, or a building that doesn’t meet the original vision. BizDevOps keeps business, IT, and operations in sync—so everything gets delivered as expected. 

If you want to have the best chance of success down the line, you should start with a clearly defined business strategy, products and/or services, and processes. The “Biz” ensures that software development is aligned with real business needs, driving faster decision-making, fewer misunderstandings, and maximum ROI. Without it, teams risk building efficient but ineffective solutions that don’t truly support growth, automation, or customer satisfaction.

MyStekz makes this a breeze as it gives you plenty of options to collect, organize, and effortlessly create important documentation which adds the necessary context for the developers to work their magic efficiently and comfortably. 

Breaking Down Complexity

Of course, any real business is a very complex system with many moving parts. To stay in control of large information systems, organizations are cut up into Domains, Products, and Processes when using MyStekz. It is based on well-known, working solutions like Domain-Driven Design (DDD). A domain can be defined as a main area of knowledge and activity in a business, shaped by its rules and logic. Each domain offers products and services to the outside world. These products and services are realized by processes. 

Unlocking Business Potential with MyStekz

Splitting up an organization like this yields a lot of advantages on its own, but with MyStekz you get these additional advantages:

  • Understand and Optimize: Gain a comprehensive strategic overview of your processes, spot inefficiencies, and improve workflows based on data-driven insights.
  • Collaborate Across Teams: Bridge the communication gap between business and IT, ensuring everyone is aligned and informed.
  • Scale with Ease: Go from business design to running code effortlessly. Processes from MyStekz can run in the heart of your IT systems. This enables you to track your operations in real-time and scale seamlessly without risking quality or efficiency.
  • Innovate Efficiently: By gaining insight into manual tasks MyStekz makes it much easier to introduce and automate processes, so your team can focus on strategic, high-impact activities instead of routine tasks. Our platform simplifies the creation, manipulation, and running of your organization’s processes with various features we explore later on in this blog.

How MyStekz Works: From Intention to Execution

Let’s take an example. Say you run a pizzeria and want to improve the efficiency of deliveries from online orders. With MyStekz, your entire business can be mapped out, from basic elements like Recipes and Orders to intricate processes like Planning online order delivery. It’s designed to be clear and structured, making it easy for both technical and non-technical teams to collaborate. To ensure stakeholders of every knowledge level can understand and cooperate, MyStekz helps you create this common language.

By using MyStekz, both the restaurant and IT team can align on a shared understanding of your business, bridging the gap between diverse perspectives.

In this example, your pizzeria is modeled across multiple levels of detail. Let’s start with defining some domains, the main areas of knowledge, and activity in your pizzeria. We can define at least Sales, Production, and Delivery as domains of a simple pizzeria. To optimize the delivery of online orders, we have to dive into the Delivery domain, specifically the Planning product we can define underneath it. Let’s call the relevant process Plan online order delivery. 

 

Common Language, you say?

We’ve been talking about a common language between business and IT throughout this blog. But what is it? Each domain has its own ubiquitous language, a set of terminology which is consistent within the domain. Everything of importance to the particular domain is described closely and can be referenced anywhere across the platform. This means that anywhere you look, you can quickly get an overview of what’s meant by a specific term, which really helps in crafting this common language. The ubiquitous language goes hand in hand with the domain model, describing the relationship between the different parts (domain objects) of the ubiquitous language. If we look back at our pizzeria example, once we have defined what a Topping is once, we can include it in other descriptions of other products in the Production domain, making it easy to follow a recipe.

Visualizing & executing your processes

MyStekz uses Business Process Model & Notation (BPMN), an open-source industry standard for visualizing business processes. It’s really easy for people to read and follow a process, whilst a computer can understand and run it. Imagine you’re directing a play. You have a script (the process), actors (employees and systems), and stage directions (workflow rules). BPMN is the storyboard that shows every scene and transition, so everyone knows their role and timing. With BPMN, business owners and IT teams can see, refine, and automate workflows—whether it’s processing orders, handling customer support, or approving invoices. The result? A smooth, well-coordinated performance, every time.

BPMN is exactly what’s necessary to communicate between business and IT. All stakeholders can help design the process and IT can simply run it. MyStekz supports you in mapping out each step of a process, tracking outcomes, and making sure every goal is met. In fact, MyStekz offers groundbreaking BPMN tools to make mapping out each process a breeze. For instance, a simple text prompt can turn into a great starting point for your process in seconds:

 

What about roles and responsibilities?

This process is more than just a few tasks following each other. Each task is placed in a specific lane. This defines which role is responsible for the task. As you can see, the Delivery Worker is responsible for the delivery, but the Planning System is responsible for making sure the Delivery Worker is notified when the pizza is almost ready. Just like everything we have described so far, roles have a clear definition in MyStekz as well and they’re used across the platform. 

 

Curious about how MyStekz would work for your specific business? Take five minutes to outline a key process you’d like to improve—then let’s map it out together

Data-transparency by Design

Do you remember the common language we defined earlier? You can use that to easily describe your process steps. Why would you do that? Well, because most things you define in your common language are backed by data. And by using this in the process description, you know where and when your key information is used. This allows you to get an overview of which data is accessed by whom and why. Something that is becoming increasingly more important in today’s privacy-society.

Easily Automated with AI and Human Synergy

Once mapped, your organization’s processes can be streamlined, standardized, and automated where necessary, ensuring that developers understand exactly what each part of the software should accomplish. Human interaction, automation, and AI all play an important role in MyStekz and it is vital to use them in synergy. 

But visualizing your processes is only half the story, what about running them? Well for that we use our very own process engine SPEX, which enables users to also execute processes. Think of SPEX as the air traffic control tower for your business processes. It monitors, coordinates, and ensures smooth execution of every moving part—just like controllers guide planes to prevent collisions and delays.

Unlike other solutions that lock you into black-box automation, SPEX gives you full visibility and control over how your processes run and where your data goes. You’re the pilot, not a passenger. This makes converting your business needs into working software a blast. And as a bonus: it can track every step along the way and easily visualize business performance.

Stay in Control with Up-to-Date Documentation, Always

MyStekz doesn’t stop at designing and running processes. Your complete business can be designed from MyStekz. By adding all kinds of custom documents, user interfaces and links, you get a full and living digital twin of your organization. Due to the structure and coupling between design- and runtime, MyStekz ensures your documentation is up-to-date, always.
