4 Innovation in Our Lab At SOFTECH we use to solve new problems with a technology-driven creative process: 1 Analyze the problem Software nowadays solves a lot of our daily tasks. Should you look for improving a process, enriching a user experience or plainly solving a technical bottleneck in any activity it is time to pass this problem to the software engineers. 2 H 3 C O HN HN O CH 3 Elaborate potential technology solutions Drafting an effective solution to the given problems involves the following: an in-depth understanding of the situation, an attentive selection of the possible technologies and a holistic vision on the integrations and interactions. 3 Experiment and test The next step is to design a few experiments and tests in order to filter among the proposed technology solutions. The process is accurately documented and prepared for analysis. 4 X Structure and analyze the results Before going into deeper development of new solutions and products, all the tests results ought to be structured by multiple criteria. The results will be interpreted and discussed in order to take a decision. 5 Define the technology solution At this stage, the technology solution to be developed will be defined. The needed resources from all sides will be estimated, so that the actual development can start. 6 Build and implement From now on, the team will take on the actual coding, integration, final testing and maintenance process. A new software product or a new software solution ought to be released. 2

5 Joined Expertise Expertise is the consistently superior performance on a set of tasks in some area of human activity. In our acceptance, expertise in a specific domain combines three elements: a certain experience a set of domain-independent characteristics a domain-specific proficiency. According to the specialized studies: On routine projects, a proficient person helps things go smoothly. On innovative projects, an expert can be the difference between success and failure. In this order of ideas, SOFTECH comes with the technology expertise and our business partners come with the industry expertise. Joining our fields of expertise, we are able to deliver innovation.

6 Innovation Drivers The drive for innovation itself is a curiosity. What determines us and peer companies to innovate? Often it is about competitiveness. Sometimes it is about our sensitivity to the environment and the way we interact with it. Other times it is about an inner willingness to achieve a better state of living. In the end, it is the combination of all these forces, reasons and states. During our software development activity, we found ourselves motivated by different key drivers toward innovation. It is all about improving processes, products, experience and lifestyle. Imagine new solutions Develop new products Develop new technologies Redesign processes Improve the lifestyle Achieve better UX 4

7 Innovation Capabilities The drive for innovation is not enough. One must also be capable to innovate. In order to build innovative technologies or to design innovative solutions, the individuals involved in this process ought to be psyched about technology. It is a state of those software engineers always up to date, always in search for the most effective solution and open to discuss ideas. Secondly, some real muscles are necessary to bring alive innovation. Research capabilities in software development involve resource availability for documentation, observation, analysis and synthesis. In addition, an ongoing cooperation with universities, institutes and R&D centers increases the available resources. Prototyping capabilities in software development includes human resources, materials, infrastructure and time. The higher the expertise level, the faster the prototyping process.
