Mentioned below are some key dimensions for which you must have a concrete strategy to reach the desired outcome in today’s world of cut-throat competition.
Technology
Every technology has its pros & cons. Depending upon your requirements the answer to the question of best suited technology may vary. Choosing the right technology gives your the right environment for faster development and lays the foundation of an outstanding solution.
Cloud
The hosting of application and data is one of the major points of deliberation while architecting a solution. If not planned well and early enough, it can turnout to be a big showstopper later. The Cloud has become a buzzword and a bandwagon on which everyone wants to be in for the scalability and efficiencies it offers. However, it takes experience and technical know-how to determine which cloud platform is suitable for you.
Mobility
Designing the mobile strategy for your solution is a make or break activity. The explosive growth in the smartphone segment cannot be ignored. It is only a matter of a few years before more visitors and business will come through mobile devices than desktops/laptops. It is, therefore, indispensable to have mobility a part of your strategy whether it is a website or a web-based application.
User Interface and Design
For any application, the user interface and user experience is the first impression and the entry point of the application for interaction with humans. However great an application is, without a well-articulated and well-designed user interface, it will not be perceived well and may not be successful.
Ecommerce
E-commerce is a vital component of how business transactions are done today.
