If you are managing or own a software company, you are hard at work on your products and services. You know your clients and your business well and you focus on attracting and retaining customers. Your management team has developed a comprehensive understanding of your market, your competitors, and the technology environment you will use to pursue your targets. BUT, when it comes to having the time and the resources to achieve all of your goals, you may fall short. Perhaps you are short-handed, or you have not focused on specific technical or leadership skills to accomplish a particular task or complete a certain project.
Does this sound familiar? Your business has a great idea for a software product, maybe even a mobile application, but you aren’t sure how to proceed. Your in-house IT team is well-respected but they are already overwhelmed with projects and ongoing workload and you aren’t sure what skills you will need to employ to adequately address your software product requirements.
When a business has an idea for a mobile application or a custom application or software product, it is often difficult (if not impossible) to take the project from vision to reality. There are many barriers to this type of project, not the least of which is resources. Business IT teams are busy with day-to-day work and may also be juggling strategic projects that will take the business to the next level. Upgrading networks and hardware and taking on other projects to keep the business growing can often stand in the way of software development projects that might provide increased revenue and market visibility. Businesses only have so many resources and it is hard to envision a positive outcome when there just isn’t enough investment capital, resource availability or skills to go around!
