FuturZoft client projects in software product development can be supported from early inception to implementation. We are following two different business models for outsourced product development. In the first model, we undertake the complete development process which includes all phases of the software development life cycle. In this model, our engineers will analyse the business needs of the client and come up with the right product/technical solution for them.

In the second business model, FuturZoft undertakes only the phases starting from development to implementation. The actual analysis and design of the product is done by the client. FuturZoft starts the development process according to the specifications provided by the client.

Component Based Approach

The Engineers at FuturZoft are well experienced in the “art of building software products “. FuturZoft follows the state of the art design methodologies to come up with highly scalable, secure and cost effective products. We consider software architecture as the “art and science of building components- it is a style and method of design and construction.”

We follow the component based product development strategies where we recognize the fundamental “building blocks” of the system, which are reused throughout the system. These blocks are used to provide the common functionalities for the system.

The advantages of this strategy is that, it helps us to focus on the business requirements, rather than on implementation issues. Also, it gives us the possibility to come up with more stable and proven solutions that can be brought to market much faster.

Before starting the product development, FuturZoft considers the following :

• The different tiers of the application and the method of communication between the different tiers
• The way to abstract the data layer.
• How the solution can be made easy for testing?
• Which software and architecture patterns can be used?
• How the solution can be made highly scalable and adaptable to changes?
• How the load will be balanced in the application?
• How the product can be made more secure?
• How to handle fail over or fault tolerance?
• Is there any need to have a logging system for the application?
• How to handle the integration with other systems or applications if needed?
• How to handle portability?
• Will the system support XML?
• Will there be any network type considerations?

Process Oriented Approach

In FuturZoft, we follow the “process oriented” approach. The various processes involved in the product development life cycle are identified, and scripts are generated for each process. All FuturZoft associates involved in the product development will adhere to these scripts. This makes the product development much easier for us. We also use version control tools for easy management of code.

Cost and Time Saving Approach

Depending upon our clients time constraints and available budget, FuturZoft sometimes comes up with solutions inherited from open source products. We customize existing open source products to meet the client requirements.

We have successfully implemented many content management systems for various clients which were created from open source products like Drupal, Dot Net Nuke etc.
