Building Great Products-The New Way



Today, companies that can bring a perfected product to market the quickest are the winners. Old fashioned product development paradigms are pass. Outsourced Product Development is at the centre of this trend that has taken the software development world by storm.
The way outsourced product development works is that, instead of going about developing a product from scratch, including all the costly overheads of gathering expertise, human resources management, and risks taking, an organization simply outsources the development of the product to a third-party provider which specializes in undertaking such projects.
By focusing on shifting of development centers from in-house to off-shore locations, outsourced product development results in a reduction of operating expenses, boosts the bottom line, and makes resources available to enable you to focus on your core areas of strength.
However, there are certain prerequisites that should be met in order for an organization to fully reap the benefits of the new paradigm.

  •   When available resources are not sufficient for effective software development.
  •   When there is a need for reducing the product life-cycle.
  •  If in-house expertise is not available, and the hiring of such expertise would escalate costs to beyond-planned levels.
  • When you need to cut costs.

If your organization meets these prerequisites then it can certainly benefit from taking advantage of the new business model.
There are a few considerations that should be examined before outsourcing is adopted. Does the team understand your objectives and goals? A definite alignment of objectives and goals is vital for the successful development of any product, and especially one that is being developed by a third party.
Do you have a checks and measures and feedback system in place to ensure that what you get is exactly what you wanted? It is very important to have a feedback and assessment system in place to develop the exact product that is desired.
Finally, which product should you opt to develop first? Ideally at the start of a relationship it is good to go in for development of smaller products with short timelines, and as the relationship evolves meeting trust, expectations, and feedback requirements, larger products can be developed.


Successful outsourced product development depends upon close interaction, communication, and feedback between the crucial decision makers, specially business managers, engineers, and business owners.
The extensive logistical and interpersonal skills and resources available with us ensure that all prerequisites for a successful delivery of the product are already in place. Added to this, the deep, multi-tiered expertise of in-house engineers ensures that every aspect of utilization of cutting-edge tools and techniques is considered and implemented for the development of your products. Once you get our engineers working on your product, you will understand the amount of potential that outsourcing holds for you.

Why you should have a Mobile Compatible Website



Web surfing has become a growing trend with the advent of smartphones. These phones, which are high on features and technology, allow people to surf the internet while on the move.  Though this makes it easy for companies to reach out to a big audience, but there is no guarantee that your website would be visited by your target citizens.

The biggest mantra for your website to attract traffic is that it should be mobile compatible. It means that your website should be able to adapt to smaller screen and operating system.

Become Mobile Compatible, Get Noticed

Times are changing, technology is evolving and the screens are getting smaller. Smartphones have changed the way we think and read. Today the reader wants everything on the move and in a nutshell. So, the first step towards success is to turn your desktop compatible website into a mobile compatible website.

If the question uppermost on your mind is how you would go about the web development, you need not worry. There are a number of companies out there that will take care of the mobile compatibility of your website.

The company has over the years built a strong reputation and today offers solutions to a wide range of clients and plays a leading role in getting their website recognition among the mobile users, getting them new clients.

Why you should have a Mobile Compatible Website

Mobile compatible websites are the in-thing due to the following reasons –
·       The patience of the reader is eroding
·       He neither has the time or the inclination to read long articles.
·       Smaller articles and websites that are easy on the eyes have a much bigger chance of getting noticed and bringing your website a much higher readership.


It is imperative that your website should open in a few seconds. A mobile compatible website would compel visitors to stick to it it while it would also bring in new visitors.


Go for a trendy mobile-friendly website

Responsive web design is the key to success. As the user switches from laptop to iPad, the website automatically switches to accommodate resolution and image size.

With its team of brilliant web designers and experts, Craterzone is the perfect solution to all your problems. Its mobile website experts can easily convert your existing site to mobile website by using latest framework such as bootstrap and media query and custom css.
