Nitor offers end-to-end product engineering services to ISVs and product companies and helps them in creating world-class products. Our broad level skills include:

	Ideation and Research
	Design and Architecture
	Development and Packaging
	Product Modernization

Ideation and Research:
With our this flagship service, we help you transform your ideas your reality. Our team of business analysts and technology specialists works together with your product manager to research product idea, create a case for POC, do business and competitive analysis and come up with version 1.0 plan for the new development.

For the research, the team participates in various conferences along with you, works with prospective customers and users, floats surveys to collect the ‘Voice of Customer’ and builds the roadmap as well as the entire business requirement documents.

The team provides a sharp focus on identifying product differentiators such as features which will appeal to the end users or specific business problem that the product must solve. This helps in creating the product requirements that meet the users’ expectations.

Design and Architecture:
The technology landscape changes very rapidly. Therefore, for any product, it is important to have an architecture that is robust and future-proof. Our product technology architects use latest paradigms of design such as SOA for creating futuristic architecture for the product. This, combined with expertise in designing SAAS platforms, cloud-based products and composite product frameworks, ensure that the products are designed with a long-term view.

Development and Packaging:
We understand that product development requirements evolve and the development methodology should be able to absorb changes to the requirements. With a strong product development culture among our teams, we have established agile product processes. These, together with SCRUM methodology, allow us to ensure agility without greatly hampering the product release plans.

For product packaging, we possess strong knowledge of packaging and installation technologies with security and installation guidelines. We have used technologies such as Installshield to create packaged products.

Product Modernization:
Technologies, customer expectations and business IT environments are changing very rapidly. For example: many products now need extension to mobile client. Some products require additional security layer to access information across different domains. In another scenario, products need to be migrated to new paradigms. There has been a worldwide trend to convert existing products to SAAS platforms to spread the customer base and enable higher revenue generation.

Existing products, which are not geared up for this, require through brainstorming and modernization of features or platforms as appropriate. Nitor possesses expertise in studying such legacy products and bringing them back on the innovation stage on the product lifecycle.

Some examples of product modernization where Nitor has helped the customers are:

	Changing base technology from .NET or JAVA to current .NET 4.0
	Making the products browser and IIS based
	Adding new features such as additional reporting capabilities
	Making applications SAAS-enabled
	Migrating applications to Azure cloud

	Experienced teams which are oriented to product development paradigms. They understand aspects like usability, scalability and interoperability which are imperative for successful product development.
	Distributed product engineering with SCRUM methodology. This allows us to understand and manage the changing landscape of technologies such as SAAS, Cloud and Composites.
	Scaled up services to help you in research, user response gathering and product requirement building.
	In-depth understanding and experience of building ground-breaking products using SAAS, SharePoint, Business Intelligence, Performance Management and Cloud Computing technologies

	Through understanding of product development mind-set, end user expectations and usability of the products to be developed; along with the domains identified.
	Ability to work with wide spectrum of product development activities right from engaging with startup companies and developing an idea to working with established products to modernize and extend.

Your Questions, Our Answers:

It is undoubted that for a robust product, a thorough, well-planned and properly followed quality assurance is mandatory. In many environments, companies end up focusing too much on product and application development activities and operate with a very thin testing and QA bandwidth.

However, to ensure flawless delivery of the end product and application, it is critical to have a dedicated quality assurance team working on it and checking all the technical as well as functional aspects of the product and application.

Nitor can be your testing and quality assurance partner who can assure you a robust and bug-free product through a planned and detailed quality assurance for technical, functional as well as usability aspects of your product or application.

We follow a well laid out testing approach that is supplemented with business, application and project specific detailed test architecture. We believe that well planned test architecture offers room for changing requirements and changing complexities of the application.

Our Testing Services include:

	Functional Testing: End to end functional testing of product or application, System Integration level testing for functionalities and UAT for functionalities.
	Non-functional Testing: Load and Stress testing of web applications, Performance testing, Stability Testing (for checking consistency of application performance) and Usability Testing.
	Test Automation: Creation of test scripts and programs which can run the test scripts repeatedly.Creation of appropriate schedulers.

	Our technology expertise helps us in identifying technology gaps and loopholes
	Our domain expertise helps in getting started immediately without a steep learning curve
	Our well laid out processes and testing approach help us in offering better transparency and clarity to our customers
