Offshore Software Product Development, Design & Offshore Software Maintenance Support

G&G Technologies is a pioneer in offshore software product development, design and offshore software maintenance support on a turnkey basis. From the early nineties we are executing complete turnkey outsourcing projects for development of applications software, embedded applications, systems software products, microprocessor based firmware products, and wireless & mobile application products for variety of industries. We do custom offshore software product development and design for healthcare & medical, insurance, financial and accounting, banking, manufacturing, telecom, utilities and many more industries. From our inception we are also engaged heavily in offshore software maintenance and support for all these industries to maintain and support their application software and legacy systems. We contributed significantly in successful launching of many customers' software products involving eCommerce & eBusiness applications, custom applications software, database systems, ERP systems and more using Java, J2EE, JSP, .NET (Dot Net), Ajax, C++, C, Visual Basic (VB), ASP, WebSphere, AS/400 iSeries System i, RPG, etc.

Due to globalization, supply chain, multi-sourcing and various other reasons today's business systems, organizational structures and related software applications and eCommerce and eBusiness systems became extremely complex and large in the last few years. As a result offshore software product development, design and post development offshore software maintenance and support have also become quite complex and challenging. Our software product designers and engineers are developing custom software products starting from conceptualization, to product engineering to a fully workable software system or product, sometimes shrink wrapped, some times delivered over the Web and Internet. In this whole software design and development cycle we use various technologies and platforms from Linux, PHP, mySQL (LAMP) to Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm, to traditional Windows platforms. In the development process and methodology our software engineers and developers have applied complex concepts and ideas through various programming languages and utilities like C++, C, .NET (Dot Net), Ajax, Java, J2EE, ASP, JSP, databases, WebSphere, AS/400 iSeries System i using RPG, Synon and others.

Since the market became hyper-competitive and overly cost sensitive in the last few years, it has been enormously important for organizations to develop software products within budget and on time. Many companies lost market opportunities being unable to bring products on time to the market. G&G plays a critical role in helping you to achieve a high ROI through offshore software product development and design, and keep your organization continually profitable by doing offshore software maintenance and support most economically in the following ways:

1. G&G can deliver you a complete software, or firmware product starting only with an informal feature specification.
2. We provide you with a complete plan for your software application product design showing the details of costs and expenses, description of individual features and functionalities, details of deliveries, and long term maintenance & support plan.
3. G&G would help you to write a detailed product requirement specification and detailed design, software life cycle design and management, and conduct usability study of your existing software product, technical competitive analysis of your planned or existing product.
4. We implement, test and deliver a software product (in phases if necessary) in accordance to your plan of deployment and launch of a new product, or new features and functionalities of an existing software system and product.
5. G&G provides you with a planned installation support of your software product at a customer site with a complete on-site or off-site support & maintenance plan during deployment and on-going operations.
6. We would help your software product design and delivery team in providing complete training and education to your customers on-site or offsite.
7. G&G helps you in testing a software product in-house or offsite. The software testing of your product includes integration testing with a third-party product or another software system from your company.
8. We also help you in creating a help-desk or support line during normal operations of a custom software product, and managing day-to-day support and maintenance of your software product.
9. G&G provides full service for real time embedded systems design, microprocessor design, device driver development, and embedded systems programming as well as Linux, PHP, mySQL (LAMP), Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Palm.

Useful suggestions on custom offshore software product development, design & offshore software maintenance support

Since software applications have been a significant part of our economy and any company's tangible assets, delegating all decisions about its development to technical staff can be risky for executives. Companies' general managers need to have a good grasp of the most effective methods for developing and deploying software products and services throughout the organization. And it can be efficiently achieved through offshore software product development and design approach, and can be economically supported daily through offshore software maintenance and support methodology. A recent study on effective ways to develop a software product reveals an important fact: The best process is an evolutionary one. Focusing particularly on the areas of Internet or web based software development, researchers uncovered four practices that generally lead to success:

1. An early release of the evolving software product design to customers,
2. Daily incorporation of new software code and rapid feedback on design changes,
3. A team with broad-based experience of shipping multiple projects, and
4. Major investments in the design of the product architecture.

Software product companies are continuously improving the development models:

1. The Waterfall Model (a sequential process maintains a document trail)
2. The Rapid-Prototyping Model (a disposable prototype helps establish customer preferences)
3. The Spiral Model (a series of prototypes identifies major risks)
4. The Incremental, or Staged-Delivery, Model (a system is delivered to customers in chunks)
5. The Evolutionary-Delivery Model (iterative approach in which customers test an actual version of the software)
