  2. A groundbreaking idea is all you need, but is it truly so? There are way too many technical and time-related challenges that befall the way. Then there are tighter operating budgets & the dreadful smart competitors. What if you do not have an in-house team for Software Product Development to bring your ideas to life? Or if you would like to get a product developed by professionals who are experts in both domain and technology – would it cost a fortu?e? Would?’t it ?e a drea? ?o?e true if ?o?pa?ies ?ould ?aterialize all the ideas they had all by themselves? z www.mindfiresolutions.com I? today’s fast-paced world driven by technology, having a product development partner is the best bet for businesses. Not only does it allow existing internal teams to focus on the core business and products but also allows parallel innovation, brings in external benchmarked processes, ideas into the development process itself, helping your product get refined.

  3. But how do you decide if your software product development is in the right hands? What are pros and cons of having an external partner? How far can you trust them, what are the questions you should ask them and more importantly, what are the questions you could ask yourself before you get started! In this white paper, we discuss the freakiest challenges of business owners and a step by step approach to effectively research, evaluate and join hands with a product development partner best suited to their business. z www.mindfiresolutions.com The Core Challenges Persist Choosing a software product development partner can be intimidating at times, primarily because of the difficulties and challenges you can face in finding them and getting to trust their capabilities and delivery capacities. These challenges can be categorised into 3 major buckets -Strategic, Operational and Technical.

  4. Strategic Challenges z An ideal product development partner starts the ground work with you, and that ideal-ness is not very common. Launching a new product or service to your audience requires a lot of planning and careful calculation of things that may go wrong. Businesses tend to ignore the strategic approach and get straight to execution and most product developers would want to get engaged straight into the revenue generation cycle. www.mindfiresolutions.com The most common strategic roadblocks that enterprises face are – • Lack of visionary guidance on the development part?er’s end • Unawareness of best practices and domain expertise • Minimal of or no agreement policies regarding involvement of customer teams • Limited or ignored post development support

  5. Operational Challenges z www.mindfiresolutions.com In a perfect world, a software product development partner should be able to unravel their grasp on the SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle). Businesses tend to plunge into costs and deadlines too soon totally ignoring the collaborative approach, time mapping, circumstance analysis that is crucial to draw project outlines. Some of those notable operational negligence factors are- • Unclear nature of contacts • No proper disaster consideration • Shallow SLAs and IPR policies • Not gathering enough proof of operational excellence • Not thinking scalability through

  6. Technical Challenges z Even after clearing all of these scrutiny levels discussed above, another challenge can be that the product development vendors favour the technologies they have strong expertise on and push the clients into believing that those technologies are the best fit for the product being developed. This is not just scary but unethical as well. The right infrastructure decides the fate of a produ?t de?elop?e?t proje?t i? a? i?sta?t. There’s ?o ?alidatio? for the said part?er’s tea? size, claimed certifications and infrastructure. The only way to find that out is nosing every little detail they provide and losing valuable time. www.mindfiresolutions.com Technical challenges can be of various kinds- • La?k of ?lai?ed agility a?d a?aila?ility • Rete?tio? issues despite larger tea? ?apa?ilities a?d size • Outdated te?h?ology ?li?e?ses, hard?are? Ha?i?g laid out the ?halle?ges let’s dis?uss a step ?y step pro?edure of ho? ?usi?esses e?aluate a product development vendor to eventually partner with them. Content Designed By: Mindfire Solutions
