BANGALORE, India and SEATTLE: Outsourced Product Development (OPD) has gained substantial traction with the improvement in economic environment across the world. The Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) have again started focusing extensively on the newer technologies and taking their offerings rapidly on the emerging platforms and trends. Aditi Technologies, a leading provider of software product and application development services shares its opinion on the top few ISV/OPD trends for 2011.

    
    - Cloud Computing: Cloud is a big disruptive change and ISVs are rapidly
    building solutions and competencies to surge ahead in this multi-billion
    dollar market. Small and new ISV players stand to gain in a big way 
    because of the low initial investment requirement for providing new 
    software solutions. Cloud strategy acts as a revenue and customer-growth 
    engine, facilitating penetration to wider customer segments and 
    geographies. ISVs are looking at solutions from a spectrum of open public 
    to closed private. The next two years will see the delivery of a range of 
    cloud service applications that fall between these two ends. The rapid 
    adoption can be attributed to a latent need in the IT industry for a 
    delivery mechanism that is ubiquitous, scalable and elastic, and at the 
    same time does not incur premium costs. Business cases have emerged for 
    using this delivery mechanism that provides a clear ROI.

    - Mobility: With more than billion people carrying handsets that are
    capable of rich, mobile commerce, it provides an ideal environment for 
    the convergence of mobility and the Web. Smart phones today come with an
    astounding amount of processing ability and bandwidth and increasing 
    mobile penetration has opened up new vistas for the ISV to build mobile 
    solutions as extension to their existing enterprise offerings. ISVs 
    have started reusing most of the server-side functionality in their 
    business process, while giving it a new "mobile facelift". The surge 
    in popularity of mobile devices is forcing ISVs to incorporate mobile 
    strategy into mainstream development processes.

    - Technology Modernization: Constantly changing business requirements and
    consolidations of companies require ISV players to be quick and deliver
    according to changing situations. Technology modernization will continue 
    to be a focus area for ISVs looking at leveraging the power of newer
    technologies and platforms. Increasing emphasis on collaboration and 
    social media is necessitating the adoption of newer technology paradigms.

    - Business Intelligence: Software is getting richer and complex along with
    the changing trends in business. The applications have become more
    collaborative and social, which creates huge demand for Business
    Intelligence and analytical solutions. BI tools are now making mark in the
    decision-making environments enabling visibility and providing insights
    across operational improvements, finance & cost management and sales &
    marketing decisions.
 
    - Digital Marketing: While in some ways social media has made
    communication easier, it's made digital life and digital marketing
    infinitely more complex with social platforms and tools competing for
    time, attention and dollars. Integration of business applications with
    social collaboration technologies, such as wikis, blogs, instant messaging
    and collaborative and unified office are the technologies trends being
    witnessed by ISVs. Companies are bringing together their social CRM,
    internal communications and collaboration, and public social site
    initiatives into a coordinated and cohesive strategy.
