The CIO Challenge and Solution

Do more with less

Adapt to variable user demands

Budgets will not increase

Results required in months

Perception of IT within the Enterprise

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

• IT treated as a cost

• Organization conforms to IT

• Benefits not sought

• Benefits not expected

• COTs are first option

• IT recognized as a competitive

tool

• Competitive barriers and

functional benefits pursued Ad-

hoc

• Goals focused vertically

Introduction to Productization

• Productization create a custom-built core platform on top of the existing infrastructure. Such Organization Specific Platforms encapsulates the software assets and domain services that can be leveraged across business initiatives, markets, and product lines.

• Productization is a unique methodology to create and consolidate technology assets into Organization Specific Platforms that are leveraged across the enterprise.

• SEI (part of CMU) defines a similar concept called product line

Definition : A software product line (SPL) is a set of software-intensive systems that share a common, managed set of features satisfying the specific needs of a particular market segment or mission and that are developed from a common set of core assets in a prescribed way.

• Productization helps us realize order-of-magnitude

improvements in time to market, cost, productivity,

quality, and other business drivers.

• Productization can also enable rapid market entry and

flexible response, and provide a capability for mass

customization

• Productization enables organizations to lower their

total cost of ownership (TCO) and accelerate revenue

generation by increasing business agility, streamlining

redundancies, and achieving economies of scale

Benefits of Productization

Productization Concept


Productization Roadmap

• Roadmap for Productization of existing systems in a large IT organization

Scenario: The software system is built and used in country-1, and there is a need for a similar system in other countries.

Assess for Productization

• Activities

– Understand intent of

Productization

– Gather the product architecture &

execution methodology details

– Analyze same, for changes &

improvements

• Outcome:

– Recommend the Productization

roadmap

– Create Business Case

• Productization for internal needs

• Activities

– Software roadmap is defined & accepted

– Governance model for internal

Productization is established

– Software architecture & quality is fine-

tuned to make it meet product roadmap

– Execution methodology is changed to

support multi-customer delivery

– Required internal sales, support,

ownership team structure is created

• Outcome

– Software is ready to be used by

multiple internal customers

– Achieve higher engineering return vs

spend

• Productization for external market

• Activities

– External Market study and business

case is created

– Governance covering engineering,

Financial, sales & mrktg, IP ownership

is established

– Required sales, marketing, support,

engineering team structure is created

– Software roadmap, architecture and

methodology is refined for external

market

– Execution methodology is changed to

support multi-customer delivery

• Outcome

– Software is ready to be sold as a

boutique product

Close Proximity with Business

Areas Drive Standardization

Leverage Specific Business Knowledge:

Restructure organizations to structure their

organizations to get as close to the business

as possible by dispersing staff into business

areas to gain business knowledge and act as

technology advisors.

Standardization of Common Platform:

Standardization of technology and

applications is the key to driving down IT

costs, standardization of processes is the key

to driving up quality and consistency.

Key Competencies:

Foster strategic planning and architecture as

key competencies.

Linked business and IT plans : Promotes

common language and framework for

planning.

Ex: Model-based planning tools like business

capability maps.


Key Maturity Levels

Immediate Benefit Long term Sustenance

Indus Aviation can help in various aspects of productization including identification of re-usable assets, commonality /

variability analysis, defining platform architecture, development and maintenance of productized applications,

consult on appropriate structure and process to sustain the productization.


Roadmap to Enhance Architecture

Level-1: Basic Feature compliance

•Delivers Acceptable quality

• Define basic product features

• Ensure functional correctness

Level-2: Enhanced Feature & Reliability compliance

•Delivers Good quality

•Define non-functional & additional key features

– Ensure non-functional compliance – performance, reliability, scalability,

usability

Level-3: Agile compliance

•Delivers ease of change – agile architecture

•Re-engineer to new technology platform

– Modular and easy to test, change and maintain

– User friendly – easy to use, integrate Level-4: re-usable architecture compliance

•Delivers engineering efficiency, enables re-use

– Common Modules & features common across multiple products are

identified

– These modules are enhanced to facilitate re-use

Timeline

Realized Business Value

Level-5: Common Platform realization

•Delivers highest level engineering efficiency

– Common platform defined – platform services, interfaces defined

– Applications work on common platform

– Option – internal SaaS mode of delivery

Quantifying the benefits of Productization

• Lower total cost of software development.

• More developers work on the "core" code and

thus improvements and rework are compared

and shared.

• Speedier development of new applications using

an application framework or by reconfiguration.

• Easy to install.

• Easy to configure.

• Easy to use. Simple navigation. Intuitive

interface.

• Coding standards, Common File format

standards.Interface standards.

• Consistent logic and methodology.

• Bug fixes and enhancements made to the "core"

software benefit all derived applications.

• A common code base is used by more developers and

thus more bugs are discovered and fixed.

• Fewer programmers required for code maintenance and

bug fixes due to a smaller code base.
