A workshop to get you technology-ready for business challenges

District Hall, 75 Northern Ave., Boston  6 pm, April 4th, 2019.

Register Here!

INFINCE is sponsoring a great opportunity for small business owners to learn new and overlooked ways they can adapt technology that lets them serve their clients better and more cost-effectively. On 4th April 2019, INFINCE is sponsoring a workshop to guide new and growing businesses to recognize tech-addressable business challenges, evaluate their implications, and to assess technological available options.

Although most businesses in today’s world are “internet companies”, yet a major portion of the small scale industry remains technologically challenged. Plenty of factors like lack of time, tight budgets, and limited infrastructure often restricts the small and medium business owners from transforming digitally. Moreover, replicating what other small businesses have done can not only be costly, but can lock a business into outmoded technology.

“Many a time small business owners turn down digital adoptions as they consider technology as too complex or too costly an affair or are unaware of the benefits they could acquire from such transitions.”

Dileep Jacob, Head of Global Delivery, Fingent.

Considering the many challenges faced by business owners today, INFINCE has pulled together this workshop to help organizations make better technological decisions for rapid business growth. The session, on 4th April 2019 from 6 PM to 8 PM in the District Hall of Boston, will include information about a variety of digital tools and solutions applicable to growing businesses.

Our objective is to better prepare the owners of small enterprises to choose and use the right technology that arms them for constant business battles; the workshop will present cost-effective and streamlined ways of organizing a firm’s IT options. Whether this is the first step towards business innovation or accommodating the needs of a growing business with changing technologies, the workshop will walk business owners through many do’s and don’ts of technology transition.

“In today’s world innovation is no longer an option but a necessity. The workshop aims at leaving attendees well informed on choosing the right digital options to solve their prevailing business situations and prepare their whole organization for a remarkable future”, said Stephen Cummings, Senior Vice President, Fingent.

The workshop – A Technology Guide For Small Business, presents a great opportunity for business owners who are making their first digital steps toward a technology future within an immensely competitive market. After the workshop, those interested will be able to have a hands-on introduction to INFINCE, a new platform designed expressly to provide small business owners control over their digital capabilities now and in the future.

We already have many personal-use apps exploiting the hyper-connected, hyper-local, hyper-personalized environments provided by mobile devices. Apps and the connected cloud-based ecosystems have dramatically transformed the personal-tech space.

However,  the Enterprise Tech world has barely scratched the surface in exploiting apps for innovation and business value creation. While Enterprise users demand mass market like apps and their cloud counterparts, security and cultural challenges remain key obstacles. The challenge is to find the delicate balance between controlling mobile devices and yet freeing employees to use them efficiently. CTOs and CIOs managing Enterprise IT teams can leverage the app (and cloud) revolution to deliver significant value by:

• Placing mobility and mobile devices at the heart of their digital workplace strategies
• Deploy management policies while educating users and bringing transparency to compliance
• Provide the best Rewards versus Risks balance for the apps deployed across various employee segments

Enterprise mobility is complex. At Fingent, we can help traditional IT teams upgrade their Enterprise Mobility strategy to deliver tangible business value, by leveraging the app revolution.

6. What latest technologies and tools you’re planning to implement for mobile app development?

We prefer to use tried and tested robust technologies to create both native and cross-platform apps across – iOS, Android, Windows and Blackberry devices.  We carefully evaluate new and bleeding edge tech before considering them for production use on client projects.  While there are a number of tools we are evaluating, we are excited by the recently announced Azure App accelerator and Telerik Progress platform. Long term – we believe that AI and Machine learning will significantly alter the app development process. On a slightly different note, there is a lot happening on the wearables, AR and VR space. We successfully delivered our first Hololens project a couple of months ago.

7. What’s your approach to creating interactive and addictive UX/UI of mobile apps and websites?

We approach UX/UI from the perspectives of -Understandability, Learnability, and Operability under real user conditions.  On mobile, we try to imbibe business features with the natural advantages provided by the mobile ecosystem – GPS and location tracking, Voice recognition, Cameras for Scanning, Gyro and Accelerometers, native connectivity option like Wifi and Bluetooth – in a secure manner. From a UI techniques perspective, we are looking at circular design patterns, interactive content layers, intelligent manipulation of content, cognitive interfaces and a few other areas to provide good learnability and operability.

8. What are the challenges you see in the outsourcing industry and how much you’re prepared to face those challenges?

I remember reading a report recently that  70% of CIOs expect to change their mix of sourcing providers to get more business value and innovation from new partner relationships. While this is a challenge for incumbents, it is good news for the outsourcing industry as a whole. For customers, outsourcing is no longer just about cost, but also about innovation and partnership. Today, most Enterprise software outsourcing is based on the staff augmentation approach. As customers demand result oriented and value driven partnerships, we see a slow but steady shift back towards the project-based approach. This requires a greater understanding of the customer’s business and higher accountability and ownership of business results.

At Fingent, we are built ground up to focus on the business outcomes that our clients wish to achieve using the product we develop for them.  Our processes secure the continuity and coherence across the CX cycle from-  Sales to Account Management to Operations and Delivery.   This, together with our focus on technology competence development ensures that we provide innovative solutions to add value to our customers’ businesses. We are happier to provide our customers with solutions that add value to their business, to be accountable for the entire solution, than to body shop.  We are ready.

9. Mention the ways you use to introduce new updates to your team.

We have many different mechanisms depending upon the source, the context, and the impact. Technology updates are managed within the BU and the teams unless it has a wide-ranging cross-functional impact. Project-specific updates are introduced from the PMO since every project has a single point of contact ( for the client)  who is responsible to secure that project changes are communicated and understood by the project team.  Communication channels for an update may include one or more of- meetings, emails, blogs or updates within our PM tool. We prefer face to face communication to the extent possible, either in person, or using modern video communication tools.

10. Nearly 70% users engage in wearable tech. What’s your step to enter into this revolution?

We have already started working with clients on Augmented Reality. We recently delivered a Hololens based facial recognition system for a client. We see opportunities across the entire technology stack- from chipsets to applications to cloud to data analytics and learning. Our strategy is a bimodal approach –

• Leverage competence in areas where we are already strong. For e.g. Our strengths in data analytics and visualization, help us manage the structured, semi-structured and unstructured data that flows in from wearables. Our expertise in data security helps provide Security consulting services to Wearable tech manufacturers.
• To focus on a few niche areas, where platform technologies are likely to succeed. For e.g. creating Augmented Reality applications for the HoloLens.

11. Examine the success and failures that your developers are facing while wearable app development?

The key challenges that we face in the wearable tech industry include:

• Lack of standardization. Fragmented platforms create an overhead due to the learning curve and lack of interoperability.
• Cultural challenges. Many users are not aware that by connecting wearables to the internet, high-risk information is placed in highly insecure and vulnerable environments. Risk assessments are often overlooked in an attempt to cut costs.

Nonetheless, we are optimistic about the opportunities here. These are challenges faced by any nascent industry.

12. There’s a boom in native apps for wearable devices, what’s your move to this technology?

Given the tight hardware integration required for many wearables, I would argue that in most cases, native is the only option. We are looking for more cross-platform tools to create apps that can be deployed across platforms at lower costs for our customers, But these are early days and we believe that such cost efficiencies will soon be created.

13. Define your future prospective and vision regarding new technologies like wearable and IoT apps?

I believe that we are at the beginning of the mass market wearable and IoT revolution. Privacy issues may lead to a temporary backlash, but these issues can be resolved.

We are looking forward to enterprise applications of wearable technology, especially in AR. Challenges around Security, Interoperability and Data mining/analysis have to be solved for Wearables and IoT to deliver tangible benefits at low risk.

14. What is your go-to-market scheme at a global level?

Currently, we are operating globally with offices across the globe. We have built many innovative solutions for our clients which are attracting other business with similar needs to reach out to us. We have a market research team that does industry research to identify the potential leads/opportunities based on the various matrix that we have developed internally. Some of the advanced project management and delivery processes that we developed with proven history convince our clients to work with us. We have most of our clients working with us for many years as a trusted partner as the organizational culture that we developed over the years focus on trust, integrity, and transparency with our clients along advanced technology capabilities.

We also share our knowledge and experience through blogs, white papers, case studies which has helped many people. We are also tapping into the power of social media platforms.

We also recognize that there is so much more than can be done to establish the Fingent Brand across the Globe.

Please tune in to hear about some major platform launches coming soon which we have been hard at work.

15. Mention the name of some of your successful projects?

We are grateful to have worked with large enterprises like NEC, Johnson and Johnson, CBN, Sony, WRI Capital, PwC and many more. We take a great deal of pride in having played a significant part in the explosive growth of successful startups like RentMoji, MFS, Lindsey Jones, Sweden Academy, Teachucator and many others.  We believe that true success is about adding value to people’s lives, be it in ways large or small, at work or at home – our work with our clients has helped us do exactly that.
