igital transformation” - When it comes to success in business, if not modern life itself, it’s paramount that one reinvents themselves in order to stay competitive in our ever progressing digital world. Fact is, businesses have always had to disrupt themselves, but now, in order to revolutionize their industries, they must infuse their business with technology -essentially becoming technology companies themselves. Every day, we encounter companies looking to make this transformation. It’s because the Internet of Things (IoT) has swiftly become a reality which cannot be avoided. Especially if we plan for success. Need proof? Look around you.

Artificial Intelligence and other smart devices are everywhere -- on our wrists, in our cars, around our homes and offices, and in our factories. Digital Transformation is the need of the hour. It is a complete shift towards making businesses automated and creating experiences with a human-centric approach.

For an incredible product experience successful companies keep the design process at the heart of product development.

Delightful user experience is a unique competition of ideas. Driven by inspiration and passion, UI/UX experts should be quick to respond to market trends and innovative ideas.

It will not only make the business fast and market responsive but also keep them ahead of the competition.

{

“Provoking an archetypal fluctuation with the best-in-class app solutions”

So how does a design process ensure that UI/UX experts have the freedom to design a product that fulfills client visions?

Co-creation The key to great design is capturing the spirit of the client and the essence of the space. A strong design process accounts for participation of non-designers/end users throughout the project.

Innovation Design process offers a structured way of researching, developing, testing, and moving design ideas towards production quickly and consistently.

Quicker Time to Market Keeps the project team aligned so that downtime is minimized and up time is used more efficiently so that product reaches the market quickly.

Risk Mitigation By its very nature design process integrates controls like design briefs, change orders and sign-offs at critical phases to help manage these uncertainties.

Mobile Programming LLC, the leading digital transformation solutions provider, is at the epicenter of this proliferation. With almost two decades of experience in software development and consulting, this global leader is transforming the way thousands of global organizations do business by developing the most innovative technologies in Big Data, Internet of Things, and AI & Experience Design.

Craig Ford, the Managing Director of Mobile Programming LLC, believes that “successful digital transformation will require careful collaboration, thoughtful planning, and the inclusion of every department for all the businesses out there.” All of which has been made possible due to the continuous evolution of digital technology.

During recent years, they’ve seen shifts in how traditional leadership roles operate. As silos break down and the scopes of various roles widen and change, digital transformation has morphed from a trend to a central component of the modern business strategy. The mobile industry itself is undergoing a major shift with the cost

imperatives of clients on the one hand, and significant and rapid advancements in technology on the other.

Digital Transformation companies have to be at the forefront of it all, developing breakthrough innovations, transforming user and consumer experiences, creating new business models and opportunities, and leveraging data in entirely new ways.

Change is going to happen whether you pursue it or not—you only need to look at how the role of cloud computing in 2016 has evolved. AI is following the same trend and the possibilities are tremendous For Mobile Programming LLC it all begins with a strenuously followed work culture. A culture which enables them to stay true to their prime purpose: Making the world a better place through the continuous development and innovation of technology.

Some examples of methodology include: Harnessing DevOps in every Enterprise Imaginable.

In contrast to traditional IT, the use of DevOps methodology opens the gates to a smooth and flowing freeway to success. It does so by providing guard rails, road signs and rules of the road. And not only does DevOps power the development of projects, it can also transform an organization’s culture. The company now hosts DevOpsDays for its internal teams, featuring demos, open labs, lightning talks, breakout sessions, and guest keynotes.

No wonder it is already being employed by 25 Percent of their clients.

“Helping clients in renewing their existing landscape using automation and artificial intelligence”

The Sales Veteran with a Command over the Future Trends That's Craig Ford. Throughout the years, Craig has recruited and managed the top teams necessary in order to generate impressive sales figures -- for both the company and, most importantly, his clients. He is largely credited for Mobile Programming’s leadership status in the web/mobile development and IoT development sector, leading the way in influencing many businesses to not only implement, but modernize and expand their digital strategies.

With a vast knowledge of, and expertise in, Health, Supply Chain, Automotive, Logistics, Entertainment, Insurance, Interactive Media and Marketing Industries, Craig provides a strong, innovative and passionate hand in the field of Sales/Marketing. But his talents and experience go beyond that to also include SOW/Contracts/RFP’s, Resource Planning/ Management, Salary Negotiation, Requirement Gathering, Lead Generation, Market Strategy and Technology trends. He has also designed and implemented training and Internship programs. In addition, throughout his career, Craig has earned a sterling reputation for Operational Improvements and as a Coaching Professional.

“Our Acumen lies in In-depth Consultation and User-Friendly Design” Spreading Camaraderie from Associates to Patrons No tool or technology can be effective without the careful consideration and a deep understanding of the user, and their needs. Guided by a strong belief in the fundamentals of the user experience, it is important to consider the relationship between the business and their customers in every interaction.

Which is why the CEO and the executive leadership team make sure that all employees are aligned with the company’s vision and are always inspired to contribute. It all begins by maintaining a healthy work environment.

Which is what Craig has done. His leadership strategies are noted in the industry for the unique affinity, and strong rapport, the employees display towards one another. Part of this comes from the company culture which encourages experimentation and free flow of ideas -- all of which helps all employees feel as if they have a stake in the company’s mission and success.

So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that, with such an attractive and positive company culture, Mobile Programming have been SAP’s Preferred Vendor Worldwide for nearly a decade now.

Mobile Programming has been credited for conceptualizing and structuring various products built on SAP’s breakthrough in-memory data platform, as well as accelerating SAP's development processes, bringing a deep and laser sharp focus on design and user experience.

Expert Insight into the Upcoming Trends Looking towards the not too distant future, Craig firmly believes that the bulk of any future investments are bound to occur in AI -- encompassing anything from Google's search algorithms to self-driving cars to autonomous weapons. So it’s of paramount importance to nurture resources who excel at internal communications and articulating processes, as well as lead bot scripting and development. That, Craig believes, should be the main focus of tech strategists today. www.mobileprogramming.com

BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES

S

martphone technologies are not just changing the way we live and experience, but also characterize it.

Technology means to the collection of tools that make it easier to use, manage and exchange information.

Technology makes us advance, and the smart phone revolution has taken technological innovation to dizzying heights. The various developments in technology, including computer, the Internet and the telephone has helped to conquer communication barriers and bridge the gap between people all over the world. The mobile app development agency is expected to reach the bar of $189 billion by the year 2020. The revenue ďŹ gures were 69.7 billion in the year 2015. You can easily understand that the prediction of hype is quite massive.

Some Upcoming Breakthrough Technologies Touch and Feel the Innovation Electro vibration technology will push the online shopping to the new high. Imagine shopping for clothes online without worrying about the texture and quality of the cloth.

It will change the touch screen experience in smart phone drastically. This technology will also help blind people to access smart phone like everybody else. Researchers have been working intensively on developing touch screens that allow you feel the texture of the cloth by touching it from a smart phone. Electro vibration technology will be the reality in this year itself and you will notice the arrival of this technology on a large scale across touch screen devices.

Apple has also been working in electro vibration

technology from a long time and has filed several patents related to the technology. It works kind of magic that stimulates through electronic charges, and your brain is tricked into feeling the texture simply by touching the device’s screen.

Communicating with the World through a Fingertip In the year 2012, Microsoft established impressive speechto-speech translation and now, real time multi language conference calls may finally become a commercial reality in 2017. This will permit usual language processing features to be built into apps. Without the help of a translator or a mediator user can share their thoughts in multiple languages across the globe with just a tap.

When Your Thoughts Become Commands Can you imagine a technology on a smart phone where thoughts became the command and you can navigate through your smart phone even without touching it? Yes, it will be a reality now as the researcher working on our brain wave pattern as every thought that comes into our brain has its own brainwave pattern. And this unique electrical signs can be mapped out to carry out specific instructions. This is

a hi-tech technology that could see some monetary application in smart phones in this year itself. So the new age smart phone with its brain-computer interface can read the brainwaves emitted by our thoughts and execute the set command. Imagine if your phone could simply detect that you need the curtains to be drawn, and you are too sleepy to get out of bed. And before you know it, it is done. The potential for such an amazing user interface that permits you to control your smart phone with your mind is limitless.

Wireless Charging is Now Possible Nowadays we use our smart phones for multiple purposes and this lead to running out of battery. This disrupts the use of smart phone and forces you to carry the external battery or user needs to charge their battery frequently. Many mobile technology experts are now working on a technology through which smart phone can be charged activities like walking, tapping the screen or even the body heat could also help in charging your phone.

Researchers are also working on availability of the ultrarapid charger that comes with an advanced battery technology. It will allow us to charge your phone

completely in just 30 seconds. Another technology can be very popular this year where one device can be used to charge another device without connecting wires.

Flexible Flagship Smartphone In the near future, phone screens would be more flexible and user-friendly where people could fold and unfold their screen. This phone will become a reality owing to Organic Light-Emitting Diode technology. This technology will also allow the pervasiveness of paper-thin screens that can project from both sides of the phone screen. What this translates to users is the ability to show pictures or videos to your friend on one side, while using the other side as a control to maneuver videos and images as you like.

The Future Mobile Technology The future of mobile technology carefully revolves around two words- Amplified Realism. AR in simple terms means an advanced and unseen version of what user can see with their naked eyes. We perceived most common needs through our smartphone which infused with the AR technology, will be enhanced through the use of computergenerated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics and

GPS data. By this technology, users can see a particular place through their augmented reality integrated smartphone camera and they can immediately find out the nearest cafes, bookshops, and dining places.

Smart Way to Recognition Now phone can recognize you even if it’s lying on a table.

According to recent advancements, a phone would be able to recognize the face, even it is at rest or lying down. A company is planning to introduce facial recognition technology into its next major product release, and the facescanning Pearl ID will be used for authentication in its payment platform.

Mobile technology is changing rapidly with the imagination of human beings and it no longer remains the medium of communication. In fact, new methods are being discovered and processed to make it more productive. Some of the major new technologies that will rule the mobile app sector in coming days have been listed above. Apart from this, there is a huge push in wearable devices like Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Pebble that will continue to be in trend in the year 2017.

The duo, visions to make Codewave a platform that brings people together on journeys of growth, with the highest level of transparency, empathy and humility. Their strategy is to build stronger product influence being a services company, which brings peer comfort with their customers and helps align with the vision.

High opportunities in areas of Data & Analytics supporting key decisions, Online marketplaces connecting consumers to suppliers, and consumer facing mobile apps that are personalized for users with deep context is also expected by the company.

Disruption-The Winner's Mindset “Disruption happens in the mind before anywhere else.�

e often credit technology as a harbinger of disruption, all the more so in Digital Media.

But in my experience I’ve seen technology as a facilitator to a disruptive idea that would’ve existed and made its way out with or without technology. I think disruption is a very confident state-of-mind that’s ready to discard set norms and revolutionize the industry with new thinking.

When Disruption itself becomes the norm, it’s the leadership and courage to experiment that become the decisive factors of your company’s survival and success along with technology.

I’m inspired by disruptive minds like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos when they take charge of ideas that only appeal to science fiction movie directors, for instance companies like Tesla, Amazon and even Facebook are not anymore just looking into opportunities that aid in their current businesses, but talking about stuff like, making the world disease free, putting humans on Mars, or digging a tunnel under the United States of America to avoid traffic jams.

Disruption is clearly a leadership quality possessed by these CEOs. Disrupt or be disrupted.

For a long time, disruption has been seen as a game changer – but since the last decade and rise of Digital, it has very much become a norm for survival.

The heat is so much that not even the public sector services that hold a certain authority in accepting change and implementing new business models are free from the pressure to accept the digital disruption happing around them on a daily basis.

Disruption as a risk There are countless stories of disruptive thinking that happened in a basement, took off as a hole-in- the-wall start up and within no time shook the very foundation of that business segment. Uber, Facebook, Whatsapp, Couchsurfing, Airbnb and much more are fine examples of disruption that was simply waiting to happen. Waiting for its better half – Technology.

A research by Capgemini showed that since The year 2000, 52% of Fortune 500 companies have taken the knockout hit and fallen just because they didn’t foresee the digital revolution and its impact on the industry.

As a CEO or entrepreneur, one must see disruption as a risk if they don’t see the opportunity it offers. As accepting disruption and working that ideology down the company requires a shift in the mindset, along with an appetite to make substantial investments in new technology and skills.

Such a change is easier in smaller companies with young and ambitions top management. I’d credit this quality as the reason behind the emergence and success of so many start ups that disrupted the space.

Disruption and leadership The leaders and CEOs spearheading disruption have many traits in common. These traits are a must-have to pull out the disruption card and win the game. I’ll try and lay those traits down one by one with a goal to help one see the bigger picture in which disruption works as a positive force and as a game changer.

• The Disruption Manifesto for your company • Inculcating a culture of experimentation in your company. Carry our weekly brain storming sessions.

• Embrace technology. Seek out for new technologies and be the first to test them against your novel ideas.

• Be extremely curious about customers, think beyond current business challenges you are facing.

• Be supportive and persistent through uncomfortable change – it is likely to change will be unpleasant.

• Mitigate risks. Always begin by piloting your idea in the market with a light and affordable architecture.

• Follow the leaders in disruption and create your own tactics drawing inspiration from them Towards the end If you closely study all the disruptive models that are successful today, you can see that the original thoughts were not about profits to begin with, but about the customers and how facilitating them in doing things easier to make life better. And maybe this is where the real learning sites.

ow many times have you heard people exclaiming about delivering a project successfully before deadline? How many times have you seen a company being really appreciated in the form of video testimonial, or in any other form be it in mail, person, or anything given by a client whole heartedly without asking him or her to do the same; the way these days competitive marketing asks for? Delivering a project timely and heartily appreciations these days are nothing but prevalent false norms.

Journey towards adopting Agile: “On confronting and accepting the profound value of above interrogations and to turn these false norms into reality (at least for my company), came into existence my acceptance of Agile Methodology” says Mr. Chandresh Patel, Founder & MD, Bacancy Technology Pvt Ltd, a web & mobile

application development company delivering valuable products globally.

Moving forward on the ideology of Agile, he adds that when we make the shift towards agile development, we find that there is a big difference in the way we approach the programming portion of the work. All of a sudden we will realize that we no longer spend much of our time doing the BDUF (Big Design Up Front) we used to.

Work gets compartmentalized into iterations. We are constantly in a rush to show iterative results at the end of each iteration, what I also call a chunk, of the whole story.

My ideology of Agile and Lean Development and how we practice it in our company: Agile and Lean Development as adopted and now explained by me relates to the ideology of starting

swiftly, creating a quality driven Minimum Viable Product and releasing the same for user feedbacks. Agile for me is to adapt to change, but being over enthusiastic we often forget that we are humans, our employees too are.

Adopting change has never been easy for anyone. Carrying this, my perspective and my secret to success is to act as human, understand the values, help the employees to comprehend & adopt the change, and educate them enthusiastically to understand what we actually want to achieve and how. The whole process includes valuing my employees, motivating them, and to ignite a spark of being a good human.

When asked about results of this practice, I simply assert “At least we can/should try.”

And for me doing this has always been much easier than my peers for I have personally applied the principles of

38 September 2017 |

Chandresh Patel, Founder & MD

Agile and Lean Development in teams both large and small, for in-house as well as commercial environments, in an organic setting as well as the ordained setting. I have educated dozens of teams, and made Agile principles come to life in many settings. I have played many of the roles in the development arena, such as the role of developer, analyst, team lead, architect, and project manager. I have also trained, coached as well as worked with big giants like Microsoft, Siemens, iGate, Indiabulls and many more. And instead expressing proud, I gratefully add that I am running a successful organization named “Bacancy technology” to deliver decent software services, using Agile.

Plans ahead: As a team, our plan for future is to see our organization grow smoothly on the way becoming the leading Web and

Mobile Application Development Company. Our dreams are not bound by geographic boundaries and hence we look forward to get our wings spread globally. We already have presence in Canada & USA. Motto for Success: Keeping our motto to succeed simple, I have only two sentences to say. “Think like a User & User Interface is What Users See and Deal With” & ” At the End, We Sell Products, Neither Documents Nor Projects Estimates.”

you seen exclaiming that they are more than passionate about web designing and development, and when asked about the ‘Three Click Rule’, burn themselves up desiring to somehow reach Wikipedia by the grace of God or some miracle and read about this?

In my opinion if you are passionate about something, you have to either master it completely or you have to accept that you still need to find what you are really passionate about. There is no midway escape to this.”

Ending on a philosophical note: Ending the really nutritious discussion on his profound knowledge of Agile and Software Development, he adds “Like how many people you have met exclaiming their extreme passion being designing, but when asked about the ‘Rule of Thirds’, they start scratching their heads. How many people have
