Navigating the Product Journey: Xoriant's Comprehensive Product Lifecycle Services for End-to-End Solutions

Currently, the rate of product releases is so fast that customers are barely keeping up. This has become a trend and as a result older products are quickly getting left behind or phased out. Tech teams are more focused on developing a new product than mulling over the old.

 

It’s not surprising that, 16% of development professionals wish to release new software builds every sixty minutes. If this Just imagine the number of applications that would result if this happened! It already has if you look at the number of applications uploaded on Google Play store.

 

Many software vendors strive to assist their enterprise clients in transitioning to newer and improved versions of their software, reducing the number of versions they need to support. However, some enterprise software users resist upgrading and prefer to stick with older versions. What could be the reason for this? Let us explore:

 

·         The old implementation works well so a need to change doesn’t make sense

·         The upgrade cost trumps the additional benefits that come with the newer versions

·         Implementation projects for minimal new functionality are extensive

·         Expensive integration efforts are required due to upgrades or system changes

·         Implementation timelines are excessively long, leading to continuous delays

·         License transfers come with significant, unforeseen costs

·         Consultancy fees is high and requires specialized resources provided by the vendor

 

To tackle these issues, many well-managed software companies are utilizing external specialized service vendors to manage the support and maintenance of their end-of-life products. This allows them to focus their internal resources on developing and supporting newer versions.

 

Xoriant has partnered with numerous product companies throughout the entire lifecycle of their software and systems products. Let's examine what a typical product lifecycle timeline looks like and how Xoriant's Product Lifecycle Services can assist at each stage:
