6. IT Solutions - An outlook
• The evolution of the information technology industry over the past few decades – has witnessed the departure
of the industry from some of the basics in engineering
• The oft heard statement – “software engineering is not like other engineering disciplines” - has given the
freedom to the industry to ignore the basics of engineering principles which has resulted in poor quality products,
tremendous budget overruns, and worst, rework has become an acceptable practice
• Any product development fundamentally needs an engineering design foundation – unfortunately
fundamental concepts in computer science and core software technology basics have been ignored
• Being compliant with processes and getting quality certifications (like CMMI) is fashionable – though these
contribute little to the true quality of the end product that is being delivered to the customers – since process
quality compliance has very little to do with PRODUCT DESIGN quality
• According to us Software (or Technology) Product development is an engineering discipline and it should be
dealt like one
• Every IT project according to us should be considered as a PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT effort and one must
apply the product engineering design principles to achieve highest quality, and appropriate business impact

the customers business requirements
• Currently, we have business process experts, and process templates for the following business
verticals - Aviation and Fuel Industry, Business Process Management, Internet & Media, Shipping,
BPO & Specialized Service Providers, Retail and Education
9. Why is Product Engineering critical in Custom Built
Solutions?
• The basic assumption in custom solutions that the business requirements are
known (or can be frozen) is a MYTH – business requirements/features evolve just
like in any product development ecosystem – one should be able to deal with this
right at the foundation – hence we firmly believe that every IT project must be
viewed as a PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT initiative and dealt with the same quality
requirements as that of a PRODUCT initiative
• Excellence in product engineering ensures the following
• You get exactly what you want in the custom built product (Product Feature
Precision)
• You get a working product/solution within the time frame that has the right
business impact, within the budget that you planned (Time-Money-Business
Impact)
• An end-product that is robust and of high quality (Durability)
• This is invariant to the industry in which you operate since any business automation
solution MUST satisfy the above basic requirements
