When a business undertakes a Software Product Development project, software re-engineering, Mobile Application Development or any other software project, they often look to experts to provide consulting services, either because their IT team does not have the time or the knowledge to complete the project.
If you have a great idea for a software product and you want to take that idea to market to generate revenue and increase your business visibility, the first thing you need to understand is this: Software Product Development is not the same as software or application development. Oh, sure, there are many of the same steps involved, but there are many differences as well.
When your business needs software application development, it is important to choose a partner that has a global delivery model with flexible delivery for offshore, onsite or hybrid models. Software delivery models designed by a custom software development company ensure that all skills and deliverable are considered.
If you have a great idea for software product development for the consumer market or for the business market, you may be wondering how to transform that idea into a reality. While your IT team may be great at satisfying the day-to-day needs and helping you support your growth strategy, when it comes to custom application development, your team probably does not have the time to help you and may not have the skills ore expertise to take on custom app development.
Your business may be a start-up, a small, medium or large enterprise. Size and industry are not important. What is important is market innovation, customer satisfaction and a focus on product and service excellence. But not every business can satisfy the need for resources, specialized skills or support for growth, special projects or even sometimes, ongoing support.

Every enterprise has best-of-breed, enterprise and out-of-the-box software products to help them run the business and organize users and team members. But, when it comes to custom software solutions, the average organization is hard-pressed to get the work done.
The client is located in India and has been in business for nearly thirty (30) years. Its core business is the rental of IT hardware and equipment and support services for that equipment. The client has seven locations across India and employs more than 200 team members supporting customers across India. The client wished to develop a new application to support a multi-tenant architecture and sell the application as a solution to other companies in the rental business. The existing application was not scalable, and it was missing core components and architecture to support multi-tenant use.
I was thinking about this the other day. The concept of putting together a software, mobile application and technology environment in a business is rather like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. There are so many vendors, solutions, options and considerations!
Right now, companies are after making more enterprise mobile apps for their employees than before. They are trying to bring their all apps under one umbrella, as some companies have more than one mobile app. These apps are made to access the company’s files, organization of the files and collaboration between the employees.
