GROUP

Page 6: Because Technology Came 2nd

IT Solutions - An outlook

• The evolution of the information technology industry over the past few decades – has witnessed the departure

of the industry from some of the basics in engineering

• The oft heard statement – “software engineering is not like other engineering disciplines” - has given the

freedom to the industry to ignore the basics of engineering principles which has resulted in poor quality products,

tremendous budget overruns, and worst, rework has become an acceptable practice

• Any product development fundamentally needs an engineering design foundation – unfortunately

fundamental concepts in computer science and core software technology basics have been ignored

• Being compliant with processes and getting quality certifications (like CMMI) is fashionable – though these

contribute little to the true quality of the end product that is being delivered to the customers – since process

quality compliance has very little to do with PRODUCT DESIGN quality

• According to us Software (or Technology) Product development is an engineering discipline and it should be

dealt like one

• Every IT project according to us should be considered as a PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT effort and one must

apply the product engineering design principles to achieve highest quality, and appropriate business impact

Product Design and Engineering Services

• We offer our product design and engineering expertise to build/enhance existing products of

product companies

• We use our patented product design and engineering processes to build these products as per

the product specifications

Custom built product solutions for business automation

Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4

• We offer our product engineering expertise to build custom products for business automation

• We use our patented product design and engineering processes to build the products as per

the customers business requirements

• Currently, we have business process experts, and process templates for the following business

verticals - Aviation and Fuel Industry, Business Process Management, Internet & Media, Shipping,

BPO & Specialized Service Providers, Retail and Education

Page 9: Because Technology Came 2nd

Why is Product Engineering critical in Custom Built Solutions?

• The basic assumption in custom solutions that the business requirements areknown (or can be frozen) is a MYTH – business requirements/features evolve justlike in any product development ecosystem – one should be able to deal with thisright at the foundation – hence we firmly believe that every IT project must beviewed as a PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT initiative and dealt with the same qualityrequirements as that of a PRODUCT initiative

• Excellence in product engineering ensures the following

• You get exactly what you want in the custom built product (Product FeaturePrecision)

• You get a working product/solution within the time frame that has the rightbusiness impact, within the budget that you planned (Time-Money-BusinessImpact)

• An end-product that is robust and of high quality (Durability)

• This is invariant to the industry in which you operate since any business automationsolution MUST satisfy the above basic requirements
