How much of your mindshare and R&D budget is spent towards things that could change the nature of the game? Towards exploiting new technologies, creating new product versions, or tailoring solutions for new verticals, horizontals, and users. Spending the typical 10-20 cents out of every dollar leaves you vulnerable to competition from startups and rivals who are spending more into areas that change the playing field. We help you identify transformational initiatives and fund them through dollars we help save from everyday initiatives that merely help you stay in the game.
The revenue opportunities are there, and you know how to tap them - new markets you can reach if you can adapt your product; new features your customers would love if you can get them off your product management 'wish list' and into your products; new deals you can swing if your professional services is geared up to customize for every customer - the constraint however is usually in your engineering capacity. What if you were not limited by either scale or skills, but can lean on a partner as needed? It results in more license revenues and more services revenues.
The math is straightforward. A 40 person offshore team can save around $2m to your bottom-line, if your alternative is an in-house team in the US. Global development is a competitive advantage because you spend less than your competition to bring the same new feature set to market. But execution is not so straightforward. Wrong planning, wrong choice of outsourcing, and wrong management of the offshoring effort can affect product quality, making the cost benefits immaterial. Arriys helps you build a long-term global strategy, minimize risk, and execute well.
The technology landscape is changing, and new platforms and technologies are making powerful new product functionality possible. Companies that build better technology 'under the hood' stand to deliver better user benefits, and those that do not, risk getting left behind by competition.
There are four issues that stand in the way of harnessing new technologies in this way, and Arriys has evolved specific mechanisms to unblock these four issues:
Knowledge: All software companies have expert knowledge on technologies they currently use, but few have a deep understanding of emerging technologies, or how they can be usefully incorporated in their products. Arriys helps you identify relevant new technologies, understand and map them to your specific products, update your architecture, and implement them in ways that deliver better user benefits ahead of your competition.
Skills: Often companies desire to incorporate a particular new technology but are hobbled by lack of in-house skills. They either wait too long to build that skill in-house, or are hesitant because it falls outside their core technology focus. Arriys helps them get started quickly, with ready resources on the new Microsoft, J2EE, Open Source, or Web platforms. We can do this rapidly because we invest ahead of the curve on emerging technologies.
Bandwidth: Sometimes, companies have both the knowledge and skills, but it is bandwidth that they lack. Their teams are focused on fighting current fires, and they cannot be spared to start new projects. As an outsourcing partner, Arriys can help them rapidly start new development projects.
Cost: And finally there are situations where companies have the skills, knowledge, and bandwidth but simply do not know if the cost of transition justifies the results. Through a global delivery model, Arriys reduces the overall risk and cost of execution, thus making these projects reality.
Faster team formation
It takes time for you to staff an in-house team, and if it involves hiring, it takes longer. Arriys can start a project up to three months faster by drawing from available resources; and we can do this because we invest ahead of the curve in hiring and training for new technologies. We constitute standby teams and block leads and architects even while giving you a proposal.
