Dynamic markets and rapid technological disruptions make product designs complex. End consumers demand flexibility and differentiation at lower costs, while enterprises need to accelerate time-to-market due to intense competition.
Here’s how Mindtree partnered with a global leader in security, storage and systems management, to deliver more than 200+ releases on-time, across platforms, technologies and domains.
The challenge
The customer was looking for a partner to engineer, test and sustain some of their products. The challenge to support multiple platforms and tools was intensified with the need to provide multi-lingual support. Flexibility in engagement models along with the capability to manage products end-to-end was essential.
Our solution
Mindtree instituted flexible working models ranging from distributed development, module ownership and End of Life (EoL) management. This was essential to design and develop products end-to-end. More than 20 innovations across product lines were developed and delivered over a period of time.
Our approach
To ensure quick and high quality releases, Mindtree followed an iterative, metrics-driven, agile methodology across all projects. Continuous improvement programs such as focused training on products, intellectual property protection, cultural assimilation and virtual teams were instituted. This helped drive better collaboration and business continuity. We established a dedicated and secured ODC, with high bandwidth connectivity to the customer’s facilities to achieve lower cost of ownership. Our expertise and process excellence ensured a high quality of deliverables at every stage.
Business impact
- Enabled market-winning products through delivering several innovations across product lines
- Extended product life and supported enhancements, to unlock new revenue streams from EoL products
