Product Development (Part 2)

In my last post, I wrote about Product Development and how it is proceeded in Oglacs, the Indian based software development company. As a continuation to that post, here is the next step to how product development in Oglacs is done. The next is "Screening The Idea".

Screening the Idea

We know that ideas is what that makes something which is considered impossible come to life. But the same idea coming from different people may have different perspective. Similarly there is also a need to sort out the best from the good ones. The harnessing of resources in any enterprise whether it is a web application development company or an iPhone application development company, resources are dependent to ideas. This is applicable only after eliminating unsound concepts which may be of minimal significance to clients and service providers. Clients may have specific plans and ideas whereas developers may have a totally different plans and ideas. Therefore, there are different questions associated with idea screening. Questions arise like should ideas of clients or developers be ignored?, Should developers go on with the clients' requirements without considering the feasibility of the product or service in current market trend?, etc. These questions makes the screening of ideas (both provider's and consumers') a necessity. Without it, the success of a certain product or service will be highly compromised.

At Oglacs, idea screening is done taking under consideration the client's requirements as well as the ongoing market trend. Our professional or developing team listens to and considers the customer suggestions and suggest them with what will be good and what not. This is helpful in size and growth forecasts. Idea screening gives a wider frame wherein both we and clients can foresee whether the product will be feasible or not in the market. This will ensure a positive impact to clients' businesses and it will also help us maintain our reputation of being a top software company in India and the world.

This is all for the day. I'll continue with "Concept Development and Testing". Visit back or take a look at Oglacs official website.

Customization of Microsoft CRM

One common question faced by professionals working in a software development company is how Customization of Microsoft CRM is done. As we know Microsoft is designed to be customizable, one should know where to look further if customizing Microsoft CRM is the question.

The main terms you should know in order to perform the same are like Microsoft CRM SDK 1.2, Visual Studio.Net 2003, etc. And of course you should be familiar with legacy internet technologies like HTML, XML, XSLT, JavaScript and should be a C#/VB/Net developer.

Read the following in order to have your upper hand in customization of Microsoft CRM.

Microsoft CRM SDK

This is a software development kit C# and VB.net examples supported by Microsoft Business Solutions technical support and is an all web services based calls. A C# .NET developer are qualified to perform this type of customizations.

Legacy SQL Data Integration

If you have SQL database, you can create ASPX .NET application and easily integrate it into CRM. You can place it on the navigation bar menu in isv.config and for that you may also refer to MS CRM SDK. This is safe and easy.

Legacy ASP Integration

This is however more sophisticated. You may have to deploy HTTP handler as a mediator between CRM (.NET based) and ASP (Legacy IIS). You also need to have INI file with security setting in order to get through Microsoft CRM with proper credentials calling web service.

Web Hosting Services - Its Types

Web hosting is one important part in presenting a website online. It is because of this service that internet users are able to share information, interact with people and sell products and services on the web through a website. I being a person working in a software development company, I know there is a need to understand the types of web hosting services in order to choose which one suits you better in view of the type of services, products or website you are creating. A good web hosting service gives fast loading, client owned domain name, 24/7 technical support, minimum 20-50mb server space, unlimited free access via FTP/Telnet, back-up systems, email accounts and easy access to log files.

Depending on the website's functionality, web hosting platform should be chosen according to required operating system (e.g. Unix or Windows). Applications that require ASP, MS SQL, .Net, Windows based web host is need and this will be little more expensive while Unix/Linux based host provide PHP, FrontPage, Perl/CGI and limited ASP functionality.

Here are the types of web hosting services.

Shared Web Hosting

A server (CPU time, OS, memory, bandwidth, application, etc.) is shared with a number of clients of the hosting company. Shared Web Hosting is the cheapest web hosting services preferable for small to medium size sites.

Dedicated Web Hosting

This is a service preferable for high-traffic websites, websites that require high amount of up-time and control of the hosting environment (an IT outsourcing company for example) and custom development projects or web application development.

Virtual Private Server

This is one of the most preferred web hosting services. Clients who would like features of a dedicated server but with cheaper rates and in a smaller scale would find this service perfect. It works in such way that despite of a shared server, CPU, bandwidth and memory, each site is allocated its own file system. Therefore, it is safer than shared web hosting. It is also cheaper than dedicated web hosting but more expensive than shared.

Managed Hosting

In this one, dedicated web hosting is taken and extra technical features are added and therefore is more expensive than dedicated hosting. Knowledge about server maintenance and system administration is necessary for this service.

Co-Located Hosting

This service allows clients to use customized hardware and software for hosting therefore allowing complete control of the server. The most expensive hosting.
