2. 1. What to Expect from Daffodil
When you share your requirements with us, our experts review your requirements and
evaluate them on the following parameters:
Budget: We understand that different customers may have different budgets
for the same kind of work. We help companies get value for their money by
providing solutions that fit their budgets.
Content: Different solutions respond differently according to the kind of
content they deliver. Daffodil makes sure your solution and the kind of
content it has handle as a close fit.
Degree of Owner Control/Input: While some customers don’t want to get
involved in the working of the solutions they build, some are exceedingly
interested in controlling the solutions’ behavior, etc. Daffodil builds
customized solutions depending upon the degree of control the customer
wants over his solution.
Design and Usability: Daffodil makes sure that not only is the design of the
solution attractive, it is also high on usability.
Functionality: Our 14+ years of experience puts us in a position to judge which
functionality is necessary for your solution to function.
Looks: For a solution to be popular, it is important for it to look attractive and
authentic. Daffodil makes sure your solution scores top marks in:
o Attractiveness
o Perceived Authenticity
Product: We are consistently developing new solutions for our customers and
hence have gathered vast experience around which solution fits which
product. We help our clients use this experience to their advantage.
Security: One of the key concerns around solution development is “How
secure is the solution?” We keep ourselves up-to-date regarding the security
of different platforms and suggest the most appropriate platform to our
customers.
Target Audience: A solution designed exclusively for women should be
different from a solution designed for men. Similarly, one for children should
differ from one made for adults. Daffodil ensures that these aesthetics of
solution development are an inherent part of your solution.
Transaction Processing Capabilities: Often transaction processing is the core
of your solution. Daffodil helps you decide: Which of the many transaction
capabilities does your solution need?
After the evaluation is complete based on the requirements defined by you, our
experts share the best suited solution. Once you approve, the team begins its work.
