In order to sustain a technology-driven innovation software development process, at SOFTECH we constantly work on our innovation capabilities. As a high-tech company delivering software for various industries, we are most frequently managing the transition of new technology from the science field to the practical implementation.
While asking our fellow software engineers what is needed for innovation, you will find out that most of them consider that the drive for innovation is not enough. One must also be capable to innovate.
Psyched About Technology
Yes. In order to build innovative technologies or to design innovative solutions, the individuals involved in this process ought to be psyched about technology. It is a state of those software engineers always up to date, always in search for the most effective solution and open to discuss ideas.
Going through our team’s projects, it surfaced that no award-winning software solution would have been developed without that bunch of people completely psyched about what they were working on. Both on the software developer’s side and on the industry expert’s side there was an amount of knowledge and a mental preparedness for rearranging the systems elements, for exploring new use cases and new tools that allowed innovation to unfurl.
Just to mention, some of the cutting-edge solutions delivered in cooperation with our team were the world’s first 5D modelling software, the global #1 B2B communication systems, the worldwide leading color management solution and some of Europe’s best IoT solutions.
Train Your Innovation Muscles
Secondly, some real muscles are necessary to bring alive innovation. As most of this team is quite sporty and outdoor fan, we relate a lot to the importance of muscular readiness that backs up and fulfills our thoughts and intentions.
By this logic, the innovation muscles that we focus on are the following main groups:
- Research capabilities in software development involve resource availability for documentation, observation, analysis and synthesis. In addition, an ongoing cooperation with universities, institutes and R&D centers increases the available resources.
- Prototyping capabilities in software development includes human resources, materials, infrastructure and time. The higher the expertise level, the faster the prototyping process
