TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING

We understand that your product / application development requirement is driven by the following key questions:

Will the product / application address your business need?
Will it lend itself to the growing needs of your business? Will it scale in accordance with your needs?
Does it have a long shelf life or will it become obsolete as newer technologies enter the market?
Will it easily integrate with other third-party and in-house applications?
Will you enjoy a positive ROI after taking into account the initial cost of development and also the future costs of maintenance and enhancement?

We at Stragure believe that the right choice of technologies, frameworks, and components is the key to developing ROI positive products and applications. With our technology consulting service, we enable you to answer these key considerations before the commencement of the software development cycle.

Our consulting services include the following:

Identify the right product / application design to address the business need
Identify the right technologies, architecture, and integration mechanism to ensure scalability and lower total cost of operations (TCO)
Identify the right software development framework and engagement model to ensure lower cost of development
Identify the overall product roadmap clearly defining the lifecycle including maintenance and upgrade requirements.
In all, our technology consulting service ensures that you clearly articulate your product / application development requirement and ensure lowest TCO and highest ROI.

IT OPTIMIZATION

There is probably no business in the world today that remains untouched by IT. In fact, except for the strategic decision making function, more and more businesses employ IT to handle all other tasks within the organization. Yet, IT adoption is far from efficient in most organizations primarily because of the following:

IT means different things to different people; the perceived value, and therefore the acceptable cost of investment on IT, is different among different teams.
IT involves too many service providers; enterprise applications are almost always a confluence of several in-house and third-party vendor solutions.
IT is not always perceived as a coming together of hardware and software. There is often too much emphasis on one or the other rather than on them both complementing each other.
IT is always rapidly changing. Sometimes, even before a solution is developed and implemented, technologies sometimes becomes obsolete.

Stragure’s IT optimization service allows you to plan and optimize your IT spend – both hardware and software – in order to extract maximum return for your investment by progressively:

Establishing the right mix of hardware and software to achieve overall organizational IT goals
Lowering cost of operations by automating business processes across the organization
Using IT to deliver services efficiently and improving business responsiveness
Leveraging IT strategically to increase business and improve profitability
Developing IT into a strategic differentiator that keeps your company ahead of competition.

DESIGN & USER EXPERIENCE

With the proliferation of touch-screens and portable devices such as iPads, tablets, and laptops, interface design and user experience have taken on a whole new meaning. As developers of market-leading B2B ecommerce platform, B-eCom, Stragure identified the need for UX expertise very early on. The result is our strong expertise in user experience design and our ability to design interactive, intuitive, and uncluttered user interfaces that lend themselves seamlessly across different devices.

Stragure’s product development and application development services can be extended to include user experience design. Our Experience Design (XD) consultants work with our product development team to:

Develop designs and interfaces that score high on usability and user experience
Quantify the user experience of an existing solution and develop a product enhancement roadmap to improve product experience
Modify application design to suit different devices / form factors
Develop experimental designs and prototypes for new products.
