The holistic approach to digital product development: Why the right partner is key.
Developing and marketing a digital product - such as an app, an IoT platform or another software solution - is a complex task. And especially for companies without digital core competencies, such as machine builders or device manufacturers, a task like this becomes a real challenge. The key to success lies in choosing the right digitalization partner that covers all aspects of product development. In my blog post, I will write about our holistic (full-range) approach and how you can choose the ideal partner.
Therefore, I invite you to change perspective with me: we're opening a restaurant.
Understand the challenge.
Imagine you are opening a new restaurant. You are an excellent chef, but you are not familiar with layout planning, furniture selection, marketing and hygiene regulations. The situation is similar with digital product development. If your core competence is not in the digital field, it will be difficult to master all the requirements. This is exactly where specialized service providers come into play.
Why the right partner is key.
You are now hiring a restaurant consultant because you want to ensure the maximum success of your restaurant. He/she should not only plan the kitchen, but also the entire concept - from layout and staff training to a sensible maintenance concept for your equipment. The situation is similar with digital product development. The right partner not only masters the technical side, but also takes design, security and legal requirements into account to ensure the product is successful right from the start.
The holistic approach.
If your restaurant consultant focuses too much on the kitchen, your guests will certainly enjoy the delicious food, but without good ambience and service, the expected long-term success will unfortunately not happen. It's the same with software development: a partner who focuses exclusively on the code neglects important aspects such as user experience, security and regulatory requirements. A holistic partner, on the other hand, ensures a balanced overall picture that takes all factors into account - even after the market launch. After a restaurant opens, ongoing support is required, whether it's for staff training or equipment maintenance, for example. Your digital product also needs regular updates and further developments to remain successful in the long term.
The vision of a full-range partner.
Let's go one step further - imagine that your good, holistic restaurant consultant stays by your side even after your restaurant has opened, helping you to develop it further and ensuring that it remains successful in the long term. The first awards are within reach.
