In payment projects, requirements rarely start with a blank page.

Before discussing what needs to be built, you need to understand what is already there: the existing business processes, system landscape, data flows, and basic nesessary solution capabilities.

At Solanteq, requirements gathering starts with this analysis.

We identify the business areas covered by the project, analyse the current system landscape and data flows, and define the target setup. Then, through a series of workshops, the Solanteq team gathers the requirements needed to achieve the desired result.

This is where our product and implementation experience makes a difference.

Our experts know how the SOLAR platform can support different business needs. We know which requirements can be covered by standard functionality, which can be handled through configuration, and where customization may be needed. And the right questions to ask.

Instead of starting from a blank document, teams can work with established solution descriptions, configuration options, and templates. In many cases, requirements can be supported by selecting and adapting existing options.

The requirements themselves are captured in ReqOrder in online mode. Everyone works with the same information, can comment on it, and can see the latest agreed version.

But requirements management doesn’t stop once the initial scope is defined. Business priorities change, new requirements may appear, regulations can shift. A change requests may require a different desicions and solutions.

Good requirements management needs to keep up.

It should make it easy to:

• capture requirements and business needs;
• connect requirements with specifications and project tasks;
• keep decisions and discussions with the relevant requirement;
• find information from previous projects;
• use the team’s payment and product expertise to identify the right solution;
• make it easy to update requirements when change requests arise;
• ensure transparency with real-time requirement status updates.

The right tools support this process.

ReqOrder brings requirements, specifications, project artifacts, and collaboration together.

The team’s payment and product expertise helps identify the right questions, solutions, and implementation approach.

An AI assistant helps teams find relevant SOLAR documentation and client context faster, analyse gathered project information, and draft requirements based on it.

Requirements are not a document you create and forget. They are a living part of the project.

The result?

Less time spent figuring out what is needed. Less back-and-forth between teams. Less rework when requirements change.
