companies investing in custom software for forseeable future
TRANSCRIPT
Introduction
• The world of business is getting increasingly complex and competitive in the global marketplace. As a result, many small and medium sized businesses are embracing the power of technology with custom software that delivers value to their customers, employees and stakeholders who are spread across multiple geographic locations.
• However, in their pursuit of custom software development services, business leaders are getting more desperate as they try to find developers that can deliver the quality software they need in a short time frame.
Employee Workforce is more Mobile, Global
• Business owners and executives expect that software development tasks will take six months from the conceptual to completion stage.
• But, internal corporate culture and lack of resources is hampering the speed at which software development and delivery services is performed.
• Until now, most businesses carried out their core operations from a central office, but now employees are mobile and work remotely around the world.
On-Demand Software Applications without Geographical Boundaries
• Trends such as on-demand application systems will take the place of a traditional client-server delivery model.
• Concern is shifting from how software is supported to how it can deliver the information needed by workers to make informed decisions.
• Vendors, employees and business owners need access to mission-critical business applications without geographical boundaries at a lower cost.
Continuous Software Design and Delivery
• With the adoption of custom software development services, desired goals are within the reach of small and medium sized businesses.
• There is a common consensus among business owners and executives that there is a need for the adoption of service delivery on a continuous basis.
• Research findings show that very few companies have taken the necessary steps to formulate the culture and build the steps which are critical for continuous software design and delivery.
