All genesis lies with the need ! Lets Analyze that...
We believe that business insulates technology and not the other way around. No creation, updation, transition of technology will be successful if the fundamental question is not answered. The question is "Why, this need?". More often than not, the answer does not lie in technology. Technology is not an end in itself. It is a means to an end.
The answer lies in the business percept of the organization. All the 'why's' in creation are answered by the business and by understanding what the change will do to the end user. The reason to create change is various. Sometimes it is due to pioneering initiatives, sometimes it is to be in sync with changing markets and trends, sometimes it is a response to competitor innovation. But all ideas, focus on making the present better and efficient. When we consult with you on technology, we start the journey trying to understand and analyze the need. We try and answer all the 'why's", so that the process of dovetailiing the appropriate technology into the business requirement begins.
Where is the Magnifying lens?
Research is a continuous cycle. The nature of research changes with the evolution of the product. Research will not pay dividends if it cannot be shaped objectively. In today's times, a few Google clicks and fancy searches tantamount to research. All "By Jove" stumble upon's cannot be called research. The result of research should be tangible. It should cause to benefit the client with clear information and alternatives. At Azri, we draw from our incumbent repository and sustained research on the latest goings on in the technology space. We will understand your need and provide you with relevant choices.
We love to research and distribute know-how. We want to be your Technology Librarians.
Lets Brainstorm & Evaluate...
Is Drupal better than Joomla? What is Alfresco all about? What is the best CMS that will answer our requirement? What is this 
Twisted architecture, How will it help? Does the product need rich Ajax interactivity? Will Ruby On Rails framework scale up as per our projection? What are the accessibility standards we should follow? What is this? Why is that? How will it help? Does this make sense?
Questions emerge when technologies are evaluated. Evaluation of technologies require the 'Grey' to be filtered. Deliberations to arrive at the appropriate technology fit requires careful appraisal of the Business Need, unique properties of the technological choices and the comparative analyzes of the technology spread. And this is precisely the expertise we will bring to your discussion room. We will help you evaluate the options and ensure that you make the appropriate decision on the "right technology and the best way to get there".
Where is the Blue Print to begin with?
"I need a kick ass education portal with all the latest Web 2.0 interactive features that engages our customers constantly with the CMS being driven by Drupal. I also want JavaScript interactivity wherever necessary. It should be cool, intuitive and competitor bench marked. Besides, I want this inside 60 man days". Now send this as an email to the development and design team and wait for reaction. Be assured that there will be a lot of activity in that room, chaotic to be precise.
Technology at its core is abstract. Technology needs to be diffused conceptually and from the perspective of the business. It should allow seamless transition. The Azri Expertise will ensure seamless dissemination of the business requirements to the technology team through a " no fuss " approach. We will conceive & design the first level experience process through mock-ups, product simulation & walkthrough's. Our designs and prototypes ensure that the business idea successfully transitions from the ideation stage to a 'development friendly' state.
Of Course! We are ready...
What does the term 'Vendor Ready' mean. It means you have evaluated and figured your requirements completely. It means you are perfectly in the know of what you want. It means that the vendor
will get a seamless platform for initiation of application development at all times.
We will define the initial product specification from the perspective of requirements, features and product road map, thus ensuring that you become vendor ready. We will assist you in 1) Scouting for the appropriate vendor 2) Evaluating the RFP's 3) Appraising vendor competency and finally choosing the right development team.
