Questions about Product Engineering

The process, journey and meaning of Product Engineering. What we do and what it can do for you.

โ€˜Designโ€™ can refer to the overall conceptualisation, features, technical architecture, etc, or sometimes, just the UI design. Some of our clients want to do the UI design in-house, so for them, we do the rest.

A software project gives you a piece of software which will meet todayโ€™s needs, but is not designed and built for high scalability, ease of configuration and extensibility. It will work for one client, one organisation, one culture, and one set of business rules. A product is, by definition, expected to cater to a variety of organisations with changing needs and business rules, and is expected to accommodate these pushes and pulls with as little code change as possible.

Yes. And your investment in product will be higher. Because ours is. There is a lot more effort involved in designing and developing a product than a regular one-off software project. The design and architecture needs to take into account a lot of future-proofing, scalability, and flexibility. For instance, products may want to work across currencies or timezones; this makes them more complex. Multi-lingual UI, multiple sets of business rules or compliance rules, all add up. You expect your product investment to work over a much longer lifetime, so we may want to add automated regression testing.

If you want to see us as long-term partners, weโ€™ll build the v1.0 of your product and then run an off-site development centre for you, where a stable team will work full-time in revisions, extensions, and future versions. You call it dependency, we love to work this way and we call it partnership.

Or, we can also work for you to do a beautifully designed and architected product for you, and hand over the reins after v1.0 (plus six months of bug fixes). Your in-house team, or a different vendor, can then take things over.
