Domain Appreciation
Vendors have to deliver domain specific solutions using technology oriented delivery resources. Creating “domain delivery experts” out of “technology specialists” and reorienting them towards “domain” expectations, is the second largest challenge the vendor internally faces.

Problem-to-Solution Path


Domain experts, those who understand the problem, and Technology experts, those who know the solutions, have to work together to deliver a solution. The team should be able to appreciate and deliver solutions in accordance with customer priorities and concerns, and can explain alternative approaches to meeting business requirements.
The business drivers in the solution arena who see a business opportunity in a continuously shifting requirement / expectation / profit equations space, face “just-out-of-college-kids”, who can only “drag-and-drop” a few “controls” on a “form” and make a “database stored procedure call”. The domain – technology gap costs the vendors the lost opportunities. This industry has seen successful organizations as those that are able to make this translation easily, effortlessly and in time.
