How 'azealon' can help evaluate the risk in "technology terms" behind the new product?

Technical Evaluation and Prototyping
When commiting towards a product concept, the company would have focused on competitive analysis and benefits to the customer. Before committing towards the execution of the product by 'outsourcing', 'azealon' steps in to help you derisk and evaluate. At azealon, we have a stage-gated approach towards feasability analysis of new product architectures and technology considerations.

"Azealon Approach"

1. Clarity On Technology Choices
The various technology options that are possibilities are discussed. Thorough brain-storming sessions are done arriving at the pluses and challenges of the technologies proposed to implement the new product.

2. Focus On New Product Architecture
Team at 'azealon' works with your team to define the product architecture outline and roadmap. Discussions are held around the outlined architecture checking the 'end user' pluses, ease of use and common set of guidelines for implementation. This gives a theoritical clear idea on the risks involved and the net value add to the end customer.

3. Architecture Validation--Prototyping
After having discussions on technology evaluation, outlining the architecture, team at 'azealon' takes the 'technical product feasability analysis' to the next phase. 'azealon' team in consultations with the customer implements a 'scaled down product prototype' helping prove the architecture.

4. Discussions towards Execution Commit
The steps above give the customer clarity on the risks associated, the mode of execution to take, amount of time and resources it would take to get it done in-house or to outsource it. From here on, the customer can decide on the way forward, either outsourcing it to 'azealon'. Discussions will be held on the 'lifecycle services' provided by 'azealon'.

5. Arriving on the Business Models of Outsourcing Engagement
If the choice is to outsource to 'azealon', the next step is to have discussions on the 'engagement models' that 'azealon' provides and the 'process' associated with 'outsourcing'.
