Phase #1: Proof of Concept (POC)
A proof of concept is generally made in the early
development cycle of software as a clear illustration of
the high level concept. It will validate the technical
feasibility, identify possible expectations from the
platform, expose potential stumbling blocks and
determine the scope and need for customization to
complete a project. The entire design of the software
will be explained thoroughly in the POC documentation.
Phase #2: Architecture Design
In this phase, the architecture designers will convert
the product concept into a blueprint for development,
which will further become a product design for creating
a robust working software. You will be provided with an
ideal architecture based on the project requirements.
The complete process will be carried out while
maintaining a delicate balance between functionality,
quality, performance benchmark and time-to-market.
Phase #3: Product Prototypes
The software prototype is a beta version of the product
which has all the major features, although some of them
may not be fully finished. Once a product prototype is
created clients can compare to see if it meets the
defined specifications. It will also allow the software
engineers to gain some insights about the accuracy of
initial project estimates and whether the milestones and
deadlines planned ahead can be successfully achieved.
Phase #4: Product Engineering
The software product engineering stage helps in
continually innovating, deploying new products,
improving time-to-market skills and maintaining large
product portfolios cost-effectively.
Phase #5: Digital Marketing/Product Marketing Strategies
The software product marketing includes complete market
research with emphasis on understanding the persona of
the consumer. The marketing team performs activities
such as product positioning, messaging, competitive
differentiation, creating marketing collaterals, and
execute go-to-market strategy.
Phase #6: Proof of Valuable Measures
Once a product is launched and product marketing
strategies are implemented, the efforts are further
measured to check the effectiveness of the software
product. This process is carried out using the best
practices.
Phase #7: Feature Enhancements
Any software product need continous innovation to
maintain a competitive edge in the market and be
relavent. Also, with the changing markets and changing
business models, it is important that existing
application's feature enhancements are developed rapidly
by integrating the latest product features.
Phase #8: Redesigning
The IT industry is evolving faster than any other. Even
a recently developed product may require a refresh
within a span of months. Even if it fulfills the user's
needs now, it may still need to be modernized as per the
market trends and client specifications.
Phase #9: Maintenance and Support
Maintenance is critical and many times overlooked. It is
important to remove errors in the system during its
working life and to finetune the system to any
variations in its environment. The maintenance and
support engineers with extensive experience in
corrective, adaptive, perfective and preventive
maintenance will deliver a blend of maintenance and
support services.
