Realize Your Return on Investment Quicker

March 9, 2010 at 4:14 pm Leave a comment

There are several ways to improve your business, which could be anything from automation to business processes. The better you become at your process, the faster you will see your return on investment.

The development approach we use in order to give our customers the best service possible, and therefore a quicker ROI, is called “Iterative Development.” Iterative Development is best described as a one-on-one developmental process with a developer and subject matter expert. It is an extremely interactive process, but is still the most efficient way to develop. This differs from Agile Development in that Agile Development is a new approach to development by getting out small releases and sending them to a group that will scrutinize and create a list of next things to work on for the next release.

With Iterative Development, we are not assigned a task simply to complete it and hand it back. Instead, we use our customer’s full participation, any expertise, and input to complete one milestone at a time, together. Their involvement is absolutely essential, and we simply cannot do it without their help. Given their input on how to deal with each issue, we are put in a position to give them greater service and faster automation tools and software.

Building first for implementation:

Iteration in a project that is building a solution should focus on cost reduction, revenue, customer satisfaction, advertising, reputation, production, and better management. Once development is complete, you end up with software specific to your unique business.

System improvement for those already in use:

The same approach gives immediate return as the software upgrades are deployed.

For example, don’t build or enhance your website based solely on appearance or to be connected to the latest technology, although these can be part of the equation. Instead, you should focus more on getting hits to your website and gaining qualified leads who are interested specifically in what you have to offer. Having a plain website that gains you five new customer views a day is much more important than having a website that is attractive, but never helps gain a prospect, new customer, or any repeat business from current customers.
