If you have a complex project requirement or have come up with a great product idea, the first thing we suggest you is to prove that your project or product is technically feasible. It’s imperative initially to validate yourself that the idea actually works and functions as envisioned. And this can be achieved with developing one or more Proof of Concepts before you actually start working on the architecture and design of the final deliverable. Development of POC provides many benefits in early stages, some of which are listed as follows:

• Clearly understanding the requirements & validating the feasibility of the idea.
• Helps in assessing the capabilities and limitations of the chosen technology for development. It helps in reducing the risks involved with using a new technology due to the fact that after building the POC successfully the new technology is not new anymore for development team.
• Visualizing the look-and-feel of the application before actual design begins.
• Helps in identifying the flaws in the design and correcting them without much cost & efforts.
• Helps you in assessing the capabilities of the chosen development team and ensuring they possess all required skills to deliver the final solution as expected.
• POC works as show-and-tell device which you can share with your investors and end-users to start building confidence and generating interest.
• POC act as an aid in obtaining intellectual property such as a patent.
• Minimizing the overall risk of project failure.

However there are certain key aspects of developing a POC that you should keep in mind before you begin:

• Carefully define the features to be incorporated into the POC system.
• For POC, choose the key features of the project – especially, those parts of the system that are susceptible to technical feasibility or represent increased risk.
• It is important to keep in mind that a POC is just a prototype and does not represent an early version of the final deliverable. The purpose of POC is just to check the technical and overall feasibility of the idea and hence is developed quickly without lots of testing.
• Once POC is approved, do not start the development of actual deliverable based on POC. It is recommended to discard POC and start afresh with defined architecture.

I hope this article helps you in understanding the importance of POC and minimizing the risks associated with development of a large and complex project or an idea that is still abstract. If you have any kind of requirements for POC development please do not hesitate to contact us at info@rightwaysolution.com

In an attempt to motivate the developers and promote knowledge sharing among employees, we have started weekly key learning sessions where any team member can pick up a topic of her/his choice and schedule a session to share related knowledge with team. During last month we have had sessions FaceBook & Twitter APIs, CodeIgnitor Core PHP Framework, How to make maximal use of web conferencing for easier project discussions, Wireframing & mock-ups etc. All sessions have observed huge support from team and active involvement.

Last week a session has been conducted on “Effective Coding Techniques” that highlighted the importance of following standard coding practices and some important tips to write simple and clean code that is easier to share & maintain.

The video of complete session is open for share.

In order to keep the software development costs low, more and more companies now prefer to outsource their entire project developments to India. As a result, the competition has risen among Indian outsourcing firms and each one is trying to lure customers with huge commitments and attractive portfolio. This has certainly made clients to be very careful in choosing the right development partner. As a result more and more foreign delegates now prefer to visit India during initial stages for project discussions to meet prospective partners in person to discuss various aspects of their project requirements and business partnership. These have certainly helped them in evaluating the prospects on real grounds and select the most suitable outsourcing partner from shortlisted prospects.

Last month we have received two foreign client delegations, one from Netherlands and one from Australia for discussion on project requirements and possible outsourcing partnership. Clients were happy to meet our business analyst and technical team. They were impressed with the level of knowledge possessed by our team members as well as their effective participation in all the discussions. We hope to close the deal with both the parties in near future and hope to encourage out onsite clients to visit us often to bridge the gap and strengthen our outsourcing relationships.

“Cloud Computing”, the latest buzzword in IT services that has made key decision makers to think about adopting cloud computing services for their organizational needs. Are you one of them? If yes, then we can help you in finding whether your decision for moving to cloud is worthy of the efforts and cost involved or not.

While deciding to adopt cloud computing, two main factors to consider are: Selecting the right application to be put on cloud and selecting the right vendor.

First of all, not all applications are suitable for cloud computing environment. Generally it’s not a good idea to put applications of below nature over cloud:

• Mission critical applications like ERP & MIS that are used by more than 80% workforce in organization
• Real-time application with huge uptime requirements
• Business critical & highly secure data centric applications like applications for banking & financial sector

While some of the situations where adopting cloud computing services become a boon for your business can be put together as:

• Smaller or rapidly growing or cash-strapped businesses that require dynamic compute capabilities
• For making IT infrastructure available on-demand without any management headaches
• Lack of people internally to upgrade and maintain the software
• You like to avoid infrastructure, hardware and maintenance cost for hosting application that isn’t high performance; data access in/out is minimal; and, loss of access to isn’t critical like e-mailing application or CRM
• When you need on-demand infrastructure availability on a 24/7 basis

Now, the major factors driving the selection of right vendor includes:

• Pricing & total cost over the retention period of the data
• Information security & data protection levels provided by vendor
• Performance and latency criteria like application response time, transactions per second, and monthly downtime
• Data auditing & backup policies offered by the service provider
• Scalability of resources provided by vendor
• The vendor contract should involve a clause for service credits if the SLA isn’t met
• Financial stability and reliability for the service provider
• Existing customer base
• The level of O&M and help desk provided by the cloud vendor

If you are still confused about whether cloud computing is the right choice for you, we at Rightway are here to serve you and help you in finding the right solution for you. We will listen to your requirements and analyze all aspects of opting for a cloud computing environment for your application before arriving at the right solution for you. So come and take advantage of our cloud computing consultancy & service.
