Yours ideas , our technology – learn more about Icreon Ver1.0 services on how to leverage the Icreon “technology differential “

In today’s day and age, with short attention spans and numerous alternatives available for nearly everything, first impressions are usually what count the most. A great first impression coupled with a quality product is often the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful venture.

In order to sustain in this competitive world, the first release or in technology parlance the version 1.0 of your solution must pack a punch. This is where Icreon comes in. We understand the fact that more often than not startups and new ventures have only one chance to prove themselves; very few can afford the luxury of a second chance. With a wealth of experience behind us, we at Icreon will help put vision to your idea and launch a successful venture.

We design our solutions keeping in mind the nature of startups. We are well aware of the fact that you might not have all the answers. This is where the knowledge and the experience of our experts will come in handy. We can guide you and provide valuable recommendations and insights into aspects not thought of before. We will work closely with you to understand your business requirements; helping us in conceptualizing a solution that has been tailored for your unique needs.

With ideas in place, our team will create working prototypes, which will enable you to visualize the solution. This will ensure that the first release of your solution is functionally rich and has something new to offer. With the major chunk of the features and functionalities done with in the first version, we can concentrate on fine tuning the building smaller value added features to it. At Icreon, we share the passion of startups and this passion translates into us delivering solutions par excellence.

There are many unknowns to a startup business; at Icreon we start at the basics. We begin by understanding your vision for the business; are you building a business to sell or are you building a business for the long haul that you may perhaps exit from at a later date. These considerations can often shape some of the recommendations that we make. At Icreon, we believe that we can use nearly a decade of our experience to drive value for your business. We take on a consultative role in the development of a user experience that is best suited for your target audience; we assist you with choosing the right technology for your startup and we assist you in phasing out the project in a manner that delivers maximum value to your target audience but also is in sync with your cash flows. This is what we like to call our “technology differential”.

Here are a few compelling reasons why you must consider Icreon as the technology partner for your startup:

Experience with startups: We bring forth a decade of experience of working with startups; having worked through the dot com boom, the crash and the revival of well thought out startups; we bring with us hands-on knowledge of the pitfalls and the teething problems typically associated with such ventures. We also understand the importance of the user interface ( UI ) and advise you on how to create a state of the art interface.

We are flexible in terms of all allowing you the opportunity to avail of services of multiple resources (designers, developers) as one single resource, in other words each of these resources will be putting in, say 2 hours, a day and which would collectively equal to the number of hours put in by one resource, therefore for all purposes you have hired only a single resource. This is a cost effective means to avail diverse services. We understand the uncertainty associated with startups and we absorb a lot of the uncertainty in an attempt to maximize the chances of your success. At Icreon we strongly believe that our success is tied into yours.

Flexibility and Scalability: We offer flexible modes of engagement. You can engage with us for a project of a fixed duration & cost or you can choose to hire the services of dedicate resources. We offer you the flexibility of starting off with a single resource and scale up to any number of resources, based on your needs. Conversely, you can always scale down the number of resources that you need.

Iterative Development: Icreon, typically, adopts an iterative approach to development that includes shorter development and releases cycles giving you a fair idea of the progress. Before the development process begins, we create working prototypes that will help visualize the solution. During this phase we exchange ideas back and forth with you, thereby enabling us to put down all that is required.

Faster Time-to-Market: We understand the importance of getting the first version of your solution to market quickly. Outsourcing to Icreon will ensure a faster time-to-market for your solution. As your outsourcing partner, the task of identifying, training and managing all your diverse IT resources is our responsibility, leaving you free to concentrate on your core area of business. Additionally, by putting into place shorter development and release cycles leads to lower risks. We help you leverage our large development team and work on optimum team sizes that allow for the shortest possible “go live”.

Cost Saving: Costs are the primary area of concern for startups – something that Icreon is well aware of and takes into account. Outsourcing to Icreon is a cost effective proposition. The cost of setting up and managing in-house IT department is a much more expensive and time consuming process -both of which startups can ill afford. Keeping your budgetary limitations in mind we offer to work with boot strapped budgets wherein the solution is developed in a phased manner, with phases mapping to your cash flow. Bootstrapping will ensure that you have greater control.
