Aspire has partnered with Microsoft in order to strengthen its presence in implementing Microsoft's programs. The company has major focus on the international market and earned major portion of its revenue from exports at 99% during FY07.

Several years of building high quality software products for software product companies has culminated into "Producteering™" - Aspire's approach for building well-engineered software products quickly and consistently.

Producteering is a set of principles and practices, driven by the right people and supported by the right platform. Producteering, when applied rigorously, enables products to be built better and faster.

Producteering has four key tenets Principles, Practices, People, and Platforms.

Software products that deliver real and unique benefits to users are the ones that succeed and garner a high market share. However, market orientation is critical to a product's success and this involves having a thorough understanding of end-users' needs and wants, the competitive situation and the nature of the market.

In spite of knowing this, most companies still delay asking users what they think of their products until the product is almost launched. This brings us to the principles of Producteering, which will enable organizations to bring their customers early into the feedback loop, and allow for development of products quickly with consistent and predictable quality

Aspire Producteering Principles are

Deliver working software frequently Recognize the variables Time, Budget and Scope Select processes specific to the stage of product Focus on both the engineering process as well as the project management process.

The implementation of product engineering best practices is a continuous journey seldom a destination. Various priorities of a software product company like time-to-market, cost, quality, product innovativeness and the flexibility to react to new products and markets drive product strategy and best development practices adopted. While it may be tempting to adopt some best practices based on organizational priorities, there are a set of best practices that are common across all product development efforts.

As a result of our extensive experience building quality software products, Aspire promotes the best practices listed below. Using our in-house knowledge repositories and technical expertise, Aspire's product engineering Practices will help you build your products better and faster.

At the center of the product engineering effort is the product development team, the People who build software products. As building software products differs vastly from building a generic IT application, product engineers too need to be of a different caliber and possess different skill-sets as opposed to traditional software engineers.

The paucity of readily available product engineers with a product development mind-set has driven Aspire to create our own product engineers (Producteers™). Producteers are trained and groomed to work with Producteering principles and best practices using the Producteering platform.

The ability to leverage existing technology and tools to reduce the product engineering cycle is a vital ingredient of Producteering.
