Innovation in Our Lab

Analyze the problem

Software nowadays solves a lot of our daily tasks. Should you look for improving a process,

enriching a user experience or plainly solving a technical bottleneck in any activity it is time to

pass this problem to the software engineers.

Elaborate potential technology solutions

Drafting an effective solution to the given problems involves the following: an in-depth

understanding of the situation, an attentive selection of the possible technologies and a holistic

vision on the integrations and interactions.

Experiment and test

The next step is to design a few experiments and tests in order to filter among the proposed

technology solutions. The process is accurately documented and prepared for analysis.

Structure and analyze the results

Before going into deeper development of new solutions and products, all the tests results

ought to be structured by multiple criteria. The results will be interpreted and discussed in

order to take a decision.

Define the technology solution

At this stage, the technology solution to be developed will be defined. The needed resources

from all sides will be estimated, so that the actual development can start.

Build and implement

From now on, the team will take on the actual coding, integration, final testing and

maintenance process. A new software product or a new software solution ought to be released.

At SOFTECH we use to solve new problems with a technology-driven creative process:

TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE

Expertise is the consistently superior performance on a set of tasks in some area of human activity.

3 www.softech.ro

In our acceptance, expertise in a specific domain combines three elements:

a certain experience

a set of domain-independent characteristics

a domain-specific proficiency.

According to the specialized studies:

On routine projects, a proficient person helps things go smoothly.

On innovative projects, an expert can be the difference between success and failure.

In this order of ideas, SOFTECH comes with the technology expertise and our business partners come with the industry

expertise.

Joining our fields of expertise, we are able to deliver innovation.

Innovation Drivers

What determines us and peer companies to innovate?

Often it is about competitiveness. Sometimes it is about our sensitivity to the environment and the way we interact with

it. Other times it is about an inner willingness to achieve a better state of living. In the end, it is the combination of all

these forces, reasons and states.

During our software development activity, we found ourselves motivated by different key drivers toward innovation. It is

all about improving processes, products, experience and lifestyle.

The drive for innovation itself is a curiosity.

Innovation Capabilities

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.

Secondly, some real muscles are necessary to bring alive innovation.

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.
