Technology Department at Alpha Plus is required to play a very important role in
-
|
|
|
(i)
|
Constantly feeding it with new, innovative and unique software solutions based on
ideas provided by the Products Team, the Marketing Team and cross-ideas from existing
products as well as periodic market review of existing product trends in the domains
of the current products.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Periodically upgrading existing software solutions based on technology trends, client
expectations, availability of better development & testing tools, and increasing
need for integration of software solutions with modern access tools, such as, mobiles,
iPads, and other gadgets as also based on the feedback received from the Products,
Technology Support Group (TSG) and Marketing Teams.
|
|
|
(iii)

be handled by the TSG.
|
|
2.
|
It is an indispensable and critically important department which has to play strategic
part in the constant growth of Alpha Plus, and its competitive advantage over several
other giants in the software development field. The importance of the department
gets accentuated with the latest developments in the country, whereby all major
software services companies are also entering into software products field. Thus,
the Technology Department is the Brain of Alpha Plus; if it stops functioning, the
survival of the company may be at risk. Further, successful and cost-effective functioning
of other departments, particularly Marketing and Support Services, greatly depends
on the quality of products churned out by the Technology Department. If the software
solutions developed are extremely user-friendly, full with unique features &
function, and bug-free, the task of Marketing Team to sell these solutions, and
TSG Team to implement and maintain these solutions would become much easier and
cost-effective.
