Identifying a customer need and creating solutions with a structured process and application of time tested methodology has reinforced BlastAsia’s expertise in product conceptualization for companies over the years. We provide a solution to an identified requirement and need which provides a more efficient way to operate with visible and quantifiable improvements over the previous process and system.
Solutioning
Proof of Concept
Prototyping
In the Software Development context “Solutioning” means developing visible and quantifiable technology solution out of a Product Vision. The BlastAsia team of Software Engineers can work through providing solution from a raw concept to a well defined Product Engineering Plan.
Our approach is to conduct data gathering and solutions oriented analysis in close collaboration with our partners. The key things we need to understand at this stage are:
The Business Objectives Evaluation of the Product Vision The Target Users’ Needs Product Implementation timeframe
The outcome of the process defines high level solution that depicts the product features, technology adoption, candidate software framework and architecture, software development and delivery process, resource requirements and product development cost. All of these factors consider robust design and scalability, support to wide range of environments and comprehensive packaging that we at BlastAsia have already mastered through the years of working with technology companies and assisting them in shaping and realizing innovative product concept.
The best way to identify a need and verify its applicability and usability is the use of proof of concept method. At BlastAsia we help you realize more ideas into products with our process and expertise. Our development methodology Scrum helps in creating milestones along the way to creating a fully functional product. We have helped test concepts for new technology applications through building ‘POC’, which helped our clients at time secure the necessary funding, or support from partners to move forward the venture or project. Our knowledge in cutting edge technology practice and in-house R&D bring the most value for such research oriented applications.
Some examples of POC formulated by us are:
Shopping cart navigation system for Large Stores, providing quickest access to specific items customer looking for and also a location based push advertising tool – development time: 1.5months Facebook application: 1month Silverlight application, in early 2007 when it was at concept stage: 1month CardSpace extension to carry authenticated Data: 1month
Different technological products need different models for conceptualization. Based on the nature of the product we use the prototyping methods-Proof of Principle, Form Study, Visual or Functional. We not only carry out the prototyping for you we also provide you with in-depth know how about the solutioning preferred among the existing options. Prototyping has helped our clients to do an early input gathering from their target end-users thus avoiding mistakes and cutting the overall development cycle, while improving the overall quality of the product.
