The Challenge
Assigning work orders to field technicians and engineers is the day to day challenge faced by field service companies. If mismanaged, it can lead to increased costs and lesser productivity with more time being spent on the road as against fulfilling service orders;
Due to greater technical complexity, SaaS application development often requires considerable up-front design and architecture work.
Once the key design/development decisions are made, the process often utilizes an Agile development methodology, aimed at bringing modules of the application online as soon as possible.
During ongoing operations, Agile is also a good choice of methodology because designers/developers have real-time access to the SaaS platform and can quickly re-prioritize development in response to user behaviour. SaaS developers can therefore take advantage of 'click-driven' R&D, poll-based development and feature-by-feature release and evolution.
The intimacy of the SaaS platform enables designers/developers to be much more in touch with customer requirements as compared to traditional on-premises software developers, so that not only is the development process more agile, but the whole SaaS business is more agile.
