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.

The MVP Approach Improves Start-Up Apps and Software Products

If your business is a start-up, with a concept for an application, a software product or a website to sell to the public or provide business to business (B2B) or business to consumer (B2C) solutions, you know how challenging it can be to get your product off the ground. It takes a lot of investment, resources and time and, if you miss the mark, if there are gaps in your solution, or if you produce a solution with security or compliance issues you will ruin your reputation and your prospective customer base will go elsewhere.

 

‘By working with an IT partner whose team is expert in Minimum Viable Products (MVP), the business can quickly and easily define requirements and develop a product to gain insight and perspective into the market, business assumptions and customers.’

 

Studies reveal that 44% of startups fail because of a shortage of cash flow. That means that your start-up business must jealously guard its investments and spend money wisely. Rapid scale and injudicious expenditure and development results in a 74% failure for those start-ups that expand too rapidly and without the required knowledge of what their customers want and need.

The Author of The Lean startup, Eric Ries, coined the term ‘Minimum Viable Product’ to define product development that incorporates a learning period in which the business can develop a simple, illustrative product with minimal features to test its theories about customer requirements, marketing, user interface, and he market using a short development cycle and minimum investment.

Minimum Viable Products (MVP) Produces Better Business Start-Up Results

Minimum Viable Products (MVP) provide numerous benefits without expensive, time-consuming product development and allow the business to learn from the initiative and invest that learning into the final product, with plans for upgrades, etc.

  • Reduce Risk – The business can avoid the risk of producing a product that suffers from overkill and provides expensive features that customers don’t want or need. It is tempting to add all the bells and whistles but the features your customers want may be very different than what your marketing team and IT team see as the vision.
  • Mitigate Expenses – The business can limit its investment and avoid having to engage and attract investors and funding.
  • Rapid Development – MVPs can be developed very quickly, because they entail only the minimum features and are designed to get customer feedback and to prove technology and functionality theories.
  • Customer Feedback – Customers can see and use the features and provide valuable feedback which helps the business define a final product roadmap and makes customers feel more invested in the process thereby ensuring a better user adoption rate.
  • Marketing and Advertising – The business can hear and incorporate valuable information from customers to define and hone its marketing messages.

 

By working with an IT partner whose team is expert in Minimum Viable Products (MVP), the business can quickly and easily define requirements and develop a product to gain insight and perspective into the market, business assumptions and customers.

  • Create a basic product with the crucial feature set
  • Design and employ a customer feedback loop to incorporate and integrate customer comments and experiences into the final product or iterate future versions
  • Create a product launch without all the fanfare of a final launch and the expense of marketing and advertising to build buzz and customer excitement.
  • Limit initial investment to ensure that the idea works before investing a lot of capital and resources.
  • Better understand pricing strategies and product upgrade schedules.

Ensure Success: Engage a Software Partner to Build Your Own Team

Build Your Own Software Team Without Hiring Staff

When your business undertakes a software product or software application project, the in-house team can be overwhelmed. Even if your technology team has the skills to complete a project of this scope, it is nearly impossible to handle day-to-day and strategically planned projects at the same time. BUT, if the business decides to hire an IT consultant, that can be a challenging path as well.

Studies estimate that ‘75% of rapidly growing companies are planning to spend on software this year,’ and that ‘64% of outsourced services are related to software application development.’ If your business wishes to create a software product, a mobile app or a business application, and your team is understaffed or under-skilled, you are not alone. Many businesses are considering expert services to complete their project, and sometimes to support, maintain and upgrade the resulting software solution.

 

‘If you select a service provider that takes a Build Your Own Team approach, you will be assured of appropriate resources, skills and availability to guarantee timely delivery, an integrated approach to the development lifecycle and a focus on YOU as a business client.’

 

When a business needs software and application development help, it is often difficult to find a service provider that will satisfy all business needs and do so in a timely, skilled fashion. If a business chooses the wrong service provider, it is likely to face one or more of the following issues:

  • Cookie-cutter solutions and teams that provide some, but not all, of the skills required to support business needs.
  • Delays in achieving milestones because the right resources are not available at the right time.
  • Inflexible team and resource availability to address changing or evolving requirements leads to uncertain results.
  • Out-of-date or incomplete skillsets.
  • The need to find, interview and select a vendor, sign contracts and establish relationships for each new project.
  • Resource instability. Changes and disruption in the team demand re-training, and result in lost resource skills and project knowledge.
  • Failure to protect Intellectual Property (IP), Data and User Privacy.

When your business considers an offshore outsourcing relationship or a partnership with an IT consulting firm, it must ensure that the vendor offers a full suite of services AND that these services are available on a dedicated basis as and when the project demands a certain skillset or technology team focus.

The Build Your Own Software Team Approach Enables Software Development Without Hiring Staff

Look for references and proven results in the following areas:

  • Timely Project Delivery
  • Detailed Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
  • Cost-Effective Solutions
  • Proven Expertise
  • Team of Skilled, Highly-Trained Developers
  • Efficient Project Management
  • Application Outcomes Aligned with Use Cases and Objectives
  • Minimum Viable Products (MVP) to test features and customer feedback
  • Skills in Low-Code, No-Code Development
  • Experience in cutting edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions
  • Support, maintenance and upgrades
  • 24/7 customer communication
  • A Build Your Own Team approach to ensure availability of appropriate resources

Minimum Viable Products Provide Metrics for Success

If you aren’t familiar with the term ‘Minimum Viable Product,’ here is a brief definition: A Minimum Viable Product or MVP is a version of a product that provides minimal features – just enough for customers to use and provide feedback on the product. That feedback is then incorporated into the final plan for the product, thereby allowing the creative team or software vendor to ensure user adoption and anticipate features and functionality the customers want now or may want in the future.
