Elintsys provides outsourced software development services for in-house applications, across the project lifecycle. We partner with you from internal proposals and budgeting, through project approvals, all the way to delivery, training, maintenance (including porting where required) and support. Our flexible software development model allows companies to maximize their ROI, while maintaining complete control over projects.
A key aspect of our application development methodology is the early and extensive use of screen mockups or wireframes. In our experience, mockups and wireframes speed up initial approvals, improve the reliability of requirements gathering and documentation, and greatly enhance user acceptance and utilization of the delivered application. We have a dedicated team to turn concepts and sketches into screen mockups in hours and days instead of weeks and months.
Outsourcing product development is conceptually akin to software applications development; however, there are striking differences.
Product Development is precisely “generic” in nature, and meets the requirements of host of users, where each user can use a “well-engineered” product as per his/her requirement. For this reason, a product should have customizability, scalability and must have solid framework to integrate new features. In generic application development, unlike product development, just the functional requirements are met.
Building a “Well-engineered” product requires higher level of skills than just developing an application. In offshore product development, an OPD services provider takes responsibility of all aspects of the product lifecycle, right from R&D, prototyping, development, testing, maintenance, to support and development of next generation products.
In outsourced product development, customers scrutinize the code base of the product to see how it meets the attributes of scalability, robustness, customizability and architecture adherence. Whereas in application development, customers just get satisfied with working of UIs of the applications.
For the successful launch of product development, good documentation, proper configuration management, strict adherence to design, architecture and coding standards are critically important. Whereas in application development, these are just important factors, not compulsory.
Why to Outsource Product Development?
Increasing cost pressures, changing market dynamics and the need to shorten the time-to-market cycle are some factors forcing many product companies to go for outsourcing their product development.
To succeed in a fiercely competitive software market, product companies have to have frequent release of new versions of their products. Moreover, the success of a product is challenged due to following factors:
In addition, product development requires exhaustive activity. If the company gets itself involved in minutest details of product development, then, undoubtedly, market analysis followed by astute marketing activities on which success of a product hugely depends, will not get the required attention and priority. And, this will eventually affect adversely the bottom line of the product company. Therefore to have a bigger market share and faster release of new versions of a product, ISVs need to look for outsourced product development services providers for product development.
