“What do you know about BADA,” my CTO asked. “I know it precedes the words ‘bing’ and ‘boom’,” I replied. Who knew that BADA is the embodiment of a Samsung mobile device platform that lets you do custom development for apps with 3D graphics and multi-touch capability with really fast, dependable performance?

OK, OK…so maybe you knew but I certainly didn’t so I found myself an expert technology consultant to help me navigate the BADA world! They told me that BADA supports Flash and has numerous UI and sensor controls, push notification and SNS integration. The UI supports face detection, fine tuned vibration, motion sensing and web controls and can be customized for a specific user experience.

Let’s talk delivery models! No, I’m not talking about attractive people who drop off packages at your place of business. I’m talking about Technology Delivery Models.

Your vendor offers a wide range of technology services, including development, support, service, consulting, quality processes, and excellent security standards! But, what about Delivery Models?

You need to stay on schedule and on budget, with well–tested, proven delivery methods and processes. And, your needs will change over time, so you need delivery models that offer staff and services for projects with finite deadlines and accommodate ongoing maintenance and support.

Earlier this year, I had lunch with my friend, David, the tech guru. He helps me look smart with my boss. My company wanted to develop a mobile app for our employees. It had to be GPS capable, allow us to stream audio and video, and support touch screen, web services and web applications. David said to use Symbian.

What’s a Symbian? I consulted my dictionary and found that Symbion is an aquatic animal. That wasn’t it! I also found Simian, which is a monkey. David certainly didn’t want me to hire a monkey to develop my app. I called him and admitted I had no idea what a Symbian was!

I’m a team player. I have learned the value of collaboration and I firmly believe that partners can achieve more than an individual. Whether you need to bring a fresh, experienced perspective to a problem, or create a new product or service or you want to improve and sustain employee and customer satisfaction, these days it is nearly impossible to get it all done by yourself.When I looked for a technology partner to augment my product and service offerings and provide additional, global expertise, I set some pretty high standards. I wanted a partner with years of experience working in many industries, for all types of clients; one that could grow with my needs; and had existing alliances with IT companies, and consulting companies, business consultants and service providers. They would have to provide services to complement my domain expertise with product development and implementation skills and methodology.

My goal for this year is to create business mobile applications to help our company meet its goals and remain competitive. I’m still humming holiday tunes, so here is an old favorite, with a business mobile app twist.

  1. On the first day of the fiscal year, my manager said to me, “We need mobile apps to break free”
  2. On the second day of the fiscal year, my client said to me, “Your apps do not run in 3D”
  3. In the third month of the fiscal year, my tech rep said, “I guess…we need mobile GPS”
  4. In the sixth month of the fiscal year, my marketers did state, “With FaceBook we must integrate”
  5. In the eighth month of the fiscal year, my team leader did say, “Our team needs a mobile app way”

When it comes to pies, I’m partial to blackberries! And, my tastes do not change when it comes to Smart Phones and hand held devices. The Blackberry® is my favorite! So, it is no surprise that I decided to go with the Blackberry® platform to design my mobile business app!

You might think that BlackBerry® is a messaging device, but the newest models incorporate other Smart Phone technology and can compete with other popular Smart Phone devices for flexibility and reach! Internet faxing, web browsing, multi–lingual messaging, auto–text with auto–correct and other text features like shortcuts, FaceBook and other social networking updates, and support for Google Messenger, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, and eBay.

The Tale of Cynthia’s Dilapidated IT Infrastructure

My friend Cynthia cannot wrap her head around technology infrastructure. She knows that IT infrastructure is the foundation of all organizations. How does she know? Because the IT department tells her so! Beyond that, she doesn’t have a clue. Her IT staff and IT consultants told her that without an effective infrastructure her team can’t develop or exchange information, nor can it protect its competitive and proprietary data or build knowledge repositories to grow revenue and succeed in its market of choice.

Cynthia was scared out of her wits by these predictions of doom! She wanted to do something constructive about that old, creaky IT infrastructure. She hired a team of IT consultants with the skills and knowledge to remotely maintain and support her infrastructure.

I am demanding! I like smart people! When it comes to finding a technology partner to help me with IT tasks and provide a few extra hands to do the heavy lifting – well there is just no substitute for smarts! As long as I am making a list of characteristics, I would also add functional and domain expertise and business and market value. I want the right solution and excellent results at an affordable cost. I want a partner with ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System (QMS) standards, well-tested business processes, systems and models. I also want a team that will go the extra mile to deliver timely results while maintaining superlative quality. My partner has to have a customer centric approach and work toward a sustained relationship and mutually synergistic growth. After all, my project, time and money are really important to me. I need to know that my partner feels the same way.
