Delphi - The Pioneer in Innovative Computer Software

Delphi is the name that strikes first whenever a debate is made regarding software and software developmental growth within the software industry. It has made a significant impact on the overall software services be it software development or basic web application development. The reason for Delphi to be a leader in the industry is that it makes software that is user friendly and is not very sophisticated, yet the applications they make are among the best in the industry. The applications which they develop are easily compatible to almost any type of software. Unlike other software’s which tend to occupy most of the memory space and reduce the speed of performance, the applications developed by Delphi never alters the speed of performance of the systems.

The development of software has taken a drastic change in the last decade as people became more and more conversant with the usage of computers. People started to know the importance of computers and started to depend more on computers and computer applications. With the passage of time computers caught a stronghold in almost all aspects of life thereby increasing the requirement of software. In order to fulfill this requirement many IT companies started to scout for place where the cost of labor was cheap and without any conditions. And that’s how Delphi development outsourcing took place in India.

As India was a fast emerging hub for all IT related activities and the cost labor was less and that too without compromising on the quality in software development. Thereby making it the most happening place in the IT world and Delphi harvested the most and is still yielding good results in the field of software development.

In the present world scenario where almost all types of industries had taken a beating in not only profits but also developmental work due to so many economic reasons. But still this brand worked its way through with only minimal hurdles and that’s because of the firm grip which it had in the software development arena and with its roots firmly fixed and focused in a customer friendly environment.

This well known brand played a major role not only in application development but also in various other fields like Application conversions; Database Applications, Statistical software’s and it also ensured specialized training. Delphi is also instrumental in publishing software related books which cover a wide range of topics which are user friendly. Delphi’s powerful language and highly efficient compilers help is giving the developer a strong support when customizing it with Windows platform.

It has a dedicated team of members who try to keep in pace with the requirements with of the customers throughout the world and no matter the place from which the team member responds but still the result out put will always remain he same, such is the expertise of this company in this field. Delphi is a company which has been a world leader for the last many years and will stay on the top for many years to come.

The Shift in Mobile Apps Development

Are the days of App Stores Numbered? Certainly that’s what the experts believe if we go by web-giants like Google. According to a leading online mobile app store, GetJar, coming years will see a gradual fall in the developer community as the world of Apps will be as huge as the internet. However what might keep the developers carefree at this moment is the hypothetical time-line of ten years, suggested by CEO of GetJar, which might take before it begins to fall. Where the numbers are still rising in the App world, what might begin to vary is the nature of applications developed, that will incline to get more personal and practical as believed by Symbian Foundation.

The spark set by Apple’s App store couple of years ago is still flaming high, with download figures notching above 1.5 billion by end of 2009. The storming popularity of Apple’s App store among users and developers even took Apple by surprise. The move, believed to be a ‘one time hit’ by many, is now turned into a race among the top mobile giants like Apple’s iPhone, Blackberry, Google’s Android and the world’s largest mobile phone business, Nokia.

Thus it is wise to say, that the variation in sales and popularity experienced by application developers like Playfish, is perhaps not ideal to suggest a downfall of the developer community but an indication of rapidly changing interests and trend among the users of such applications.

The recent years have witnessed a shift in the way that businesses across the globe have begun to view and analyze mobile applications as an add-on to promote their growth in the market. The introduction and availability of high-speed mobile data networks, like EDGE and 3G,in the developed world has

further supplemented this ideology and has pushed a demand for a platform shift from personal computers to hand-held mobile devices. This is also provoked by the users’ need to access real-time information on the move as the falling prices of mobile devices have made it more affordable for larger chunks to buy and use these services. In the contemporary world of communication, today it’s not just the professionals’, but the general mobile users’, need to access the internet via mobile phones. Companies offering services like recruitment, travelling, real-estate, leisure, entertainment et. al., have shown urgency in integrating web-portals to mobile based applications. The ask is so high that in the recent few years the number of companies offering mobile application development have almost grown three times.

Where this has increased the level of competition between developers, it has exposed companies to the risk of partnering with outsourcing-services providers with lack of experience and expertise. Due to this many IT companies in the west have burnt their hands to bad outsourcing service providers. This had a great impact on the way companies begin to perceive outsourcing and started questioning the benefits gained through it, resulting in strong hesitancy to outsource work or changing their policies to curtail it.

Perhaps that explains why many outsourcing companies in recent years have either shut-down or fighting to survive in the business. However, this does not incline us to believe that outsourcing is a bad practice or is ineffective in drawing out benefits identified with it. As a suggestion, IT companies can only be more careful and measured in picking up outsourcing partners to avoid bad experiences.

Among thousands of outsourcing service providers, OTS Solutions, a Microsoft certified partner, is one company that has continued to progress and impress its clients even through the testing times for outsourcing industry. Having served the IT industrysince last ten years by developing IT solutions in technologies like .NET, ASP, Java, Delphi, PHP and others, OTS Solutions has

been involved in iPhone and Android application development since its emergence and now it constitutes one of its core competences in the mobile development area.

With the growing infrastructure and empowerment of a mobile user, the business of mobile application development will continue to grow but with a noticeable difference that the immediate market for developers has begin to shift from a general mobile user, who once directly downloaded application from web based App stores, to companies that offer professionalservices to mobile users. Applications developed for mobile phones have begin to shape more specific and practical rather than general, how they were built until recently. Thus the days of App stores available on the internet might be numbered but the future of mobile application development is bright and will continue to surprise the users with more innovative and purposeful applications.

Why opt for Android application development

With more and more users buying Android-based smart phones all over the world, it’s no wonder that professionals adept in Android development are in high demand. In fact, the Android mobile phone market, according to some research data, is growing steadily every month at a remarkable rate of 32 per cent, thanks to the release of new handsets every now and then. The popularity of the MotoBLUR, Motorola Droid, and some HTC models, along with the operating system’s open-source nature, is believed to play a key role in the growing enthusiasm for Android application development.

If you are still wondering how Android development can help, here are some of the advantages of an Android platform, which are sure to lure you:

Page 10: SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT OUTSOURCING

Sending and/or receiving data across varied mobile networks using Bluetooth, EDGE, GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, UMTS and EV-DO technologies

Google Talk usage for Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking Libraries with an extensive range for video, audio and

image files Data storage made easy with SQLite For 3D and 2D graphics, availability of all-inclusive

libraries IPC (Interprocess communication) message passing Features of Touchscreen, Video camera, accelerometer,

magnetometer and GPS Exporting and signing an app for publishing

From a business perspective, an Android platform can be extremely beneficial. To begin with, you won’t need costly tools for Android development or pay steep licensing fees. Your primary costs will usually include your expenditure on these three categories:

Expertise for development and testing Devices for development and testing Royalty fees, in case you want to use third party app

stores for distribution

With an open source OS, Androids are royalty free and license free, which makes them quite compelling for wireless operatorsand handset manufacturers. What’s more, unlike other mobile platforms, you can distribute Android applications in a variety of ways. To begin with, you can sell them via 3rd party stores. Otherwise, you may also set up an exclusive network through which you can promote the sales of such applications that have been developed. Unlike a monopoly market, the market for Andriod apps is quite open, which makes it easy to monetize the apps once you have developed them.

The Android platform also allows you easy integration and cross promoted of various applications. This user friendly feature can help a lot when you need to create a network between varied applications.

In case you are raring to go and test the Android platform, which can offer you better opportunities to monetize your business investments, hire an Android development company having adept and experienced Android developers on board. Consider the services on offer along with the professionalism, quality, and technical prowess of these professionals to take your final pick.
