Accelerate Time To Market With Outsourcing
In today's phase of human, cultural and technological evolution, productivity is getting a big boost. Global internet connectivity, the financial crisis, and rapidly growing awareness and acceptance of cultural allow people to work together, especially on critical elements in IT products and services.
- (1888PressRelease) July 03, 2010 - IT outsourcing services accelerate not just time-to-market, but free up valuable management bandwidth, allowing companies to focus on their core issues and be as competitive as they need to be. For example, a US based company that that facilitates forensic laboratory information management ran into problems with frequent product slippage, uncontrolled resource allocations, and having to do more trials than making decisions.
These were roadblocks that lead to major costs and loss of competitiveness - and yet, there was no solution in sight. Until they reviewed their options, and found that they could best safeguard their future success by working on a solution with an IT outsourcing company, in this case, a company in India.
With no prior experience of outsourcing its IT requirements, the US Company had its difficult moments, but the Indian company, an experienced hand, smoothed the way. In an outsourced scenario, communication is a key element and the IT outsourcing company made weekly status calls, online meetings, reports and monthly feedback sessions the backbone of a disciplined development environment, Along with progress tracking on a project management tool, there were frequent releases and feedbacks sessions that continuously aligned expectations with the US client.
After the prototyping phase, the project took off at great speed, staying within its delivery time and budget limits. Some features of the work were:
• The product module was transformed into service oriented web based architecture.
• A powerful feature using Windows Workflow Foundation was developed to provide category based custom workflows.
• Another smart client application was developed for collecting data in disconnected or offline mode.
• The system was designed to expose various services that can be consumed by other supporting third party applications.
• The dynamic user interface builder and query builder were the features which empowered the system to be used by different departments in a customized way.
And, in addition, a technology set was chosen to make a system which is easy to maintain, scale and cost effective to enhance with growing demands.
All this at a cost savings of 50%, no expense on hardware and software, and no time wasted on hunting for expert engineers. This is what happened when just one company turned to IT outsourcing. Every day, hundreds of companies around the world engage in conversations with IT outsourcing companies, making it a smaller, faster, competitive world.
