A Full Software Product Development Suite of Services is Key

Choose the Right Software Development Partner

The investment and time required to conceive, design and develop a software product can be overwhelming and there are many ways a business can get off track. If your organization is to be successful in this effort, the software product you conceive must be developed and maintained to satisfy the specific use cases for consumers and users and the objectives of the organization and the product vision. It must comply with industry and government standards and with the business plan and financial projections for the product.

Your business may have a really great idea for a software product but your IT team probably doesn’t have the time to work on this kind of project and, even if they do, it isn’t likely that you will have all of the required skills in-house.

‘When considering a software services partner, look for a full suite of technical skills, cutting-edge technologies, software skills and related software services including  Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Low-Code, No-Code (LCNC) platforms, and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) experience.’

Gartner identifies Ten (10) Critical Capabilities for Development Services:

  • Business Acumen, Design (User & Customer Experience)
  • AI/ML Expertise
  • API and Integration Services
  • Analytics and BI Service Experience
  • Software Engineering Approaches
  • Multi-experience Development
  • Talent Operations
  • Technical Architecture and Cloud
  • Quality Engineering
  • Modern Engineering Approaches

Software Product Development is not the same as simple application development or a custom business software project. A software product will be used by consumers and end-users, and the project lifecycle must ensure compliance with appropriate industry and government security standards, and include product testing to protect the business from risk and legal issues. The product roadmap must include a clear vision for upgrades and customer engagement, and the functional and technical architecture should be scalable to accommodate needs in future.

Don’t Take Software Product Development Lightly: Choose the Right Development Partner

The software product development and design process includes product ideation, competitive analysis, technical feasibility, product roadmap management, Minimum Viable Products (MVP), product development, implementation and timely upgrades of the product to satisfy the ever-changing user and technology needs. If your organization is to be successful in this effort, the software product you conceive must be developed and maintained to satisfy the specific use cases for consumers and users and the objectives of the organization and the product vision. It must comply with industry and government standards and with the business plan and financial projections for the product.

The software product development process must include:

  • Management of Project Goals, Use Cases and Objectives
  • Product Requirements Definition, Evolution and Management
  • Product Roadmap and Backlog Management
  • Risk Mitigation
  • Market Analysis
  • Comparative Analysis
  • Functional and Technical Feasibility
  • Roadmap to Accelerated Growth and Market Success
  • Product Ideation and Market Gap Analysis
  • Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Design And Development
  • Usability, User Experience Design and UI Development
  • Product Roadmap Definition and Backlog Management
  • Technical Feasibility for Scalable and Sustainable Architecture
  • DevOPs Setup and Management
  • Product Architecture Design
  • Product Version Management and Documentation
  • Product Development, Maintenance and Support
  • Product Implementation and Integration
  • Product Testing and Release Management
  • Product User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
  • Software Product Upgrades, Migration, and Release Management
  • Software Product Re-Engineering

When considering a software services partner, look for a full suite of technical skills, cutting-edge technologies, software skills and related software services including Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Low-Code, No-Code (LCNC) platforms, and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) experience.

In this evolving tech-driven world, it is difficult to ascertain whether a software product will survive and thrive in the market, and a business should not leave this result to chance. Before the enterprise commits to the expense and time involved in software product development, it should consider the benefits of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

An MVP product has just enough features, and is just functional enough for beta or early customers to use. These early users will provide feedback to be used in comprehensive product development. Businesses can leverage MVP product development to quickly, and cost-effectively gather feedback on a product, and to assure an appropriate product-market fit. In so doing, the business can avoid a lengthy, costly product development process that may result in failure, may include features or functionality customers do not want, or may leave gaps in functionality that are important to customers and clients.

‘The software product development and design process includes product ideation, competitive analysis, technical feasibility, product roadmap management, Minimum Viable Products (MVP), product development, implementation and timely upgrades of the product.’

A comprehensive suite of product development services is necessary to ensure that the scope, budget and schedule of your software product remain intact and that your software product is deployed and upgraded successfully.

Is One BI Tool Enough or Do I Need More?

Should I Have One, Two, Three or More BI Tools?

Whether your business wishes to implement its first business intelligence solution, or you wish to upgrade your solution to satisfy additional requirements, or your business divisions have diverse business needs, the RIGHT business intelligence and augmented analytics solution is crucial. To protect your Return on Investment (ROI) and reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), you must select a solution that will suit all your team members, and be flexible enough to grow with your organization and provide support now and in the future.

Making the Case for One vs. Multiple Business Intelligence Solutions

Gartner names 12 mandatory and common features of a comprehensive BI tool, which includes:

  1. Data visualization
  2. Governance
  3. Reporting
  4. Analytics Catalog
  5. Data preparation
  6. Data science integration
  7. Automated insights.
  8. Metrics layer
  9. Data storytelling
  10. Natural language query (NLQ)
  11. Collaboration
  12. Composability

For many businesses today, the decision can lead them down a winding path to the question: ‘Can I truly find one solution to suit all my needs and, if I can’t, is it possible to successfully combine and integrate more than one BI tool?’

Let’s take a closer look at these questions in an effort to help you understand the tradeoffs and the decision-making process.

Choosing ONE BI Tool

Benefits

  • Data Centralization – Team members can seamlessly access a single data solution
  • Provides a centralized, simplified platform for user management and access rights
  • Maintenance and Administration – The IT team has only one system to manage
  • Reporting – Dashboards and reports leverage one data model, and reporting formats and scenarios are uniform and interconnected
  • Ensures one focused, experienced IT and technical team

Challenges

  • Scalability – As your organization grows, you may have issues supporting an expanded user base and data volume
  • Performance Issues – For organizations with a large data volume, users may experience a lag in response time
  • Data Security – If your business has multiple business units, the administration of a single solution may be a challenge, as the model will require multi-layered, granular security and permissions
  • Constrains the business to one solution, with one roadmap for the future provided by one vendor

Choosing Multiple Solutions

Benefits

  • Scalability – Smaller, more modular solutions allow the organization to execute development independently without affecting other systems
  • Performance – User experience (Ux) for dashboards and reporting is likely to be better, with suitable speed and responsive dashboards and reporting
  • Support – Each independent module or solution can be supported independently without affecting other solutions

Challenges

  • Duplicate Data or Analytics – If proper architecture is not in place, the systems may duplicate data or analysis or a system may use the wrong model for reporting
  • Integration – Combining and integrating multiple systems requires a sophisticated roadmap to accommodate cross-functional reporting and analytics and data access
  • Continuity – Data mapping, distribution and consistency can be a challenge
  • User Management and Access Rights – It can be challenging to manage these processes across disparate platforms
  • Technical and IT – Multiple tools require expertise across all frameworks and platforms

These are just a few of the examples of benefits and challenges of the one vs. many approach of business intelligence solutions. While the temptation to consolidate and choose one tool can seem practical, the enterprise should consider the benefits and the challenges of each approach and compare them to their needs. Each tool may offer specific benefits that cannot be achieved by a one solution approach, and may better address user expectations and needs and satisfy the goals of the organization.

For a long time, the analytics industry has touted the idea of ‘best of breed,’ and there is a case to be made for choosing the ‘best’ for each scenario. Gartner’s most recent Magic Quadrant places 6 of 20 vendors in the niche quadrant and many of these niche vendors may offer solutions that meet a specific need within your own enterprise. So, don’t be too quick to eliminate the possibility of multiple solutions.

Many CIOs think that at standardization on one platform should always be considered at the enterprise level. While that approach has its advantages, it has lot of disadvantages too.

Advantages include:

  • One vendor, one relationship
  • Concentrated skill set within the team
  • A simple, uncluttered application landscape

Disadvantages include:

  • Commitment to one vendor (who may or may not be dependable)
  • Enterprise is confined to one vendor roadmap, limitations, upgrades and future development
  • One solution platform limits enterprise platform choices and flexibility
  • One tool may not satisfy niche or specific use cases across all divisions, departments and teams

While a one solution choice may work for a smaller organization or one without complex needs, you may wish to consider a balanced approach. When you strike a balance using a practical, limited best of breed approach, you can address the needs of specific business units or users. Be judicious about your choices, so as not to clutter the application landscape with too many applications and complicate your architecture.

You may wish to choose one solution for enterprise IT reporting, or one for smart data visualization for business users, or one that supports Citizen Data Scientists, or a tool that is focused on big data processing. Your assessments should be based on your use cases, user needs, license needs, budget, etc. While some organizations use as many as five (5) BI tools, the enterprise should limit their expansion to 2-3 tools in order to avoid chaos in integration, maintenance, the need for IT skills, costs etc.

While the assessment of needs and requirements for ANY software solution can be time consuming, it does pay off in the end and, especially if you are considering multiple BI tools, it is worth taking the time to thoroughly assess your needs so your business can create the ideal analytical landscape for IT, data scientists, business analysts and business users.

Embedded BI Tools Ensure User Adoption and Great ROI

Embedded BI is Key to Return on Investment (ROI)

Your business probably spent a lot of time developing a strategy for business intelligence and data democratization. That is time well spent! You want to roll out the solution with care and be sure that your team members, managers and IT staff are ready to use and support the software and to make the most of the investment.

If your business chose the right solution, you will have seamless integration of information from disparate data sources so your team will have the information they need to gather, analyze and present information for confident, swift decision-making and improved results.

‘With the right business intelligence software and embedded BI capabilities, your business can improve overall organizational value for BI tools, provide unique solutions and integration with analytics without significant investment, and improve user adoption and return on investment (ROI) for business intelligence technology.’

There are numerous factors that affect user adoption of business intelligence solutions but one of the primary considerations is ease of access and use. No matter your business industry or environment, there is no doubt that your team members have learned to use critical enterprise applications and perhaps even software and apps that are unique to their role or their division or department.

When a business introduces new software, most users are hesitant to embrace it – not necessarily because they are lazy or resistant, but because they are often overwhelmed with workload and perhaps because they perceive that the time spent to learn this new solution may not provide the value they need.

Of course, it is crucial to choose an easy-to-use, personalized BI tool, but it is equally important to choose a solution with embedded BI capability.

67% of companies say time spent in their applications increased after they embedded analytics.

Case Study : Augmented Analytics for Leading Electric Scooter Manufacturer in India!

Augmented Analytics for Leading Electric Scooter Manufacturer in India

The Client is a leading electric mobility company in India, specializing in high-performance electric two-wheel scooters engineered for sustainable urban transportation. With a robust presence across 200+ cities, the organization leverages lithium-based battery technology, and advanced electric powertrain systems that are tailored to accommodate Indian road conditions.

Augmented Analytics CAN Support Data Scientists Too!

Self-Serve, Augmented Analytics IS Suitable for Data Scientists

The world of data scientists and business analysts is chock full of data and busier than you might expect – especially today! Businesses have discovered the value of data in decision-making and, as markets and competition shift and change, these businesses have come to depend on IT staff and on data scientists to provide data to make decisions at the department, divisional, operational and strategic level.

The problem is, as always…TIME! There aren’t enough analysts and data scientists, the IT team is busy working on other tasks and the clock does not stop ticking.

And there is one other factor at play in the data analytics movement. As data democratization and data literacy drive the enterprise strategy and business users begin to leverage augmented analytics and business intelligence (BI) tools, the data scientist is also called upon to refine and present analytics and reports created by team members in order to ensure that these are appropriate for more strategic decisions.

The world-renowned technology research firm, Gartner, states that, ‘Data Scientists typically spend more than 40% of time in preparing and enriching data.’

Imagine what you, as a data scientist could do with a data analytics solution that can save time on data preparation and data enrichment!

‘When an enterprise includes data scientists, business analysts and IT staff in the roll-out of augmented analytics and self-serve BI tools, it enables productivity, streamlines and speeds the analytical process and improves results.’

You have the tools and systems for data extraction, transformation and loading (ETL), you have scripting tools like R, you have spreadsheets and more, but using all of those tools to gather, analyze, scrub and present that data takes time.

Data Scientists May Not Believe That Augmented Analytics is Suitable for Them…But They’re Wrong!

As a Data Scientist, you have the responsibility and accountability to produce reliable analytics to satisfy all manner of needs within the organization. You never know what corner of the enterprise might need your services but you DO know that your analysis and services must be 100% accurate and dependable. When business users depend on you to produce information on a day-to-day basis, it is nearly impossible to focus on the more strategic, crucial imperatives.

  • What if you could more easily derive data from disparate sources and prepare it for analysis?
  • What if you could integrate R scripting with advanced analytical tools to take your analysis to the next level?
  • What if you can use quick hypothesis and prototyping to choose the right influencers and model accuracy for your project?
  • What if you have a platform where you can roll out interactive dashboards, reports and results of your model production environment in minutes?

When an enterprise includes data scientists, business analysts and IT staff in the roll-out of augmented analytics and self-serve BI tools, it enables productivity, streamlines and speeds the analytical process and improves results. Data Scientists can optimize time and resources and to use their core expertise to achieve results. Data Scientists can use self-serve data preparation, to quickly create datasets without deep SQL or ETL skills, and they can use smart data visualization and tools to use output of algorithms in R, Python or other Data Science platforms to leverage existing investments in these technologies, and they can create and roll-out predictive models in a production environment to support the organization and business user needs.

‘Imagine what you, as a data scientist could do with a data analytics solution that can save time on data preparation and data enrichment!’

As business users create analytics for quick decisions and the organization needs to refine this analysis for strategic use, a data scientist can use the same augmented analytics tools to focus on that project and ensure accuracy, collaborating with Citizen Data Scientists and IT to align analytics with key objectives and goals.

With the time your Data Scientists will save, they can focus on the most critical strategic initiatives and move the enterprise forward with fact-based decision-making.
