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.
