Since 1999 till today.. Technology has changed a
lot in India and the world around us. The major change which happen was the
word Start-up. Which took up like a Rocket Fuelled Jet.
We have seen many new names and fames since then.
Where very few made to the top and most of were lost in the past. Surprisingly
it was the same thing which created and destroyed these start-ups. Technology.
Those who understand it well they have their hands full and those who not
are not even left with hands.
With many Start-ups showing up across India, came
along Service providers. With everyone craving for their own Intellectual Property
(IP) these service providers showed themselves as the most intelligent people
of the era and can develop applications which can earn an investor’s eye.
Technology is the need for the hour and India has
been known for its big brains across the world but at the same time came along
those who just wanted to earn easy money.
These guys created organizations with easy and novice
teams. Unfortunately for their low cost and lesser time frames Organizations with
lesser funds easily got lured.
But the actual Property never got delivered as the
development process was a never ending game. Every little change called for a
re-design of the application structure. Till the Organizations realised they
were disillusioned they already had drained off their monies and left with
nothing but lockdown.
Just
because of these charlatans genuine service providers / deliverers had to prove
them again and again to win trust’s.
Application
design is not an easy task. The application architect has to reach to the crux
of the business process before even writing “A” of an application understanding document.
Most
of the people even today consider application a mean to just enter values and
get invoice out of it. Today’s application and their usage has changed to a
great extent and these new age applications can bring wonders to the businesses
and business owners.
Applications
not only create invoices but they can
- Generate new leads.
- Create new avenues
to sell your products.
- Get orders.
- Manage Ordering of
Raw Materials for Manufacturers and help them plan production. Precise ordering
can save on cost, lesser the production cost and in turn the product cost,
which means more profit in every product you sell.
- Manage and update
every step of production to stake holders, so they know, what is the average
manufacturing time and accordingly take measures to either grow production
lines or optimise existing lines to get more productions out of it.
- Manage logistics and
deliveries and get updates once products are delivered.
- Get customer
feedback.
- Keep customers
engage with what’s new.
Applications
can do lot more. The important thing is you need a right organization with right
people to understand and deliver.
Again
most of the organizations indulge in buying infrastructure, employee engineers
and invest in
- ·
Maintaining
- ·
Renewing.
- ·
Refreshing every 5
years.
They
forget this is not their core business. Infrastructure should be left to experts
and businesses should focus on what more can they do grow their business with
the help of analytics and data provided by the new age applications.
Infrastructure
can be taken care by the cloud service providers like
- ·
Azure
- ·
Amazon.
- ·
Google
And
others.
Cloud
is the cheapest and best way to host your application. Cloud gives you a worry
free infrastructure, which will keep upgrading itself at no cost. You just keep
paying your subscription fees.
Hope
Organizations realize inexpensive and lesser times does not always mean good.
Time should justify the Application and Application
should justify the business.
