Product Concept Development

Successful development of products is essential for growth, profitability, market share and even survival at times. In order to remain competitive, companies have to be innovative and create new products as well as improve existing ones incrementally. Product concepts are considered to be proposals intended for commercialization within a standard product development cycle. Although crucial to your company's success, it could be more important to focus on marketplace battles, customer front line and other strategic areas, while outsourcing product work to those who can deliver efficiently as well as cost-effectively.

Whether your product is a new idea or the redesign of an existing product, our highly skilled engineers can take your ideas from concept to a finished, marketable product.

Our Product development life cycle contains following phases:

Conceptualization

A good concept is an important prerequisite to create good online user experiences. The concept offers direction and simplifies efforts to achieve effective communication with your users. Digicorp has a proven track record of thinking outside the box, of looking at situations from new and different perspectives, of creatively developing new ideas, of visualizing credible future outcomes, and ultimately of formulating pragmatic, implementable proposals.

Feasibility Reports

At Digicorp, we perform the required analysis to determine the feasibility of new concept on behalf of our client. We learn more about your business, who your target audience is, and your expectations of what the product and/or concept will do. Through these rigorous methods, we provide the client, the information necessary to analyze and generate his business plans. Through this, we are able to take customer ideas from concept development through to the final product, on time and within budget.

Prototype Development

Once the original concept is understood and a strategy is developed, Digicorp progresses from concept formation to prototype development. Developing a prototype is a very important part of Product development life cycle because it helps in developing the first sample of the software and provides clarity in the scope of the project. By giving a small working model of the actual project customer gets an idea what his final product will look like. And if customer needs a change, it can be identified earlier in the project life cycle.

Dedicated Team

Once the business objectives are laid down and the requirements are stated, the development team is identified for the project life-cycle depending upon the technology to be deployed. A part of the team is a dedicated team which works exclusively on your concept and then depending upon the scope of the project and its significance in terms of time, the size of the team is increased/decreased.

Our dedicated team of business managers have many years of experience with concept development for solving your business problems and developing special systems, and products for clients.

Design Freeze

The next phase is the finalization of design architecture and the design of several unique prototypes of software product This includes proper documentation and ensuring that standards are being followed.

The goal of this phase is to select the prototype that is closest to what the client has in mind. From there we can make additional changes until the client is completely satisfied with the overall design.

Code Freeze

Software engineering is the practice of using selected process techniques to improve the quality of a software development effort. With the help of our hands on experience of software development, we decide the methodology taking care of needs for a particular project utilizing cost-effective methods. We follow various development models like waterfall, RAD, Agile etc. thereby ensuring the quality and availability of our qualified developers thus lowering the risks.

Testing and QA

Recognizing the importance of quality to meet client needs, we have instituted stringent quality assurance and control measures. Digicorp has a dedicated testing team to analyze the performance and assure the quality of the deliverables. Depending on a project size we allocate a testing team and define a time frame for its work. This allows optimizing resources involvement and thus project costs. We make use of the testing tools for professional problems tracking. Each process is monitored and evaluated for accuracy and effectiveness at various levels. QA experts work independently from development team yet in close cooperation with it.

Beta Programs

Based on the time lines defined and business plan written, Digicorp releases the beta programs of the product to gather broad customer feedback before the product is released. The beta test process helps Digicorp determine the quality of a product before it is released to the general public.
