Software product companies need to envisage the future and adapt to the changing needs of customers to sustain and be successful in an over-crowded market place. When the long-term roadmap of a product is analyzed closely, product companies often find the need to re-build the existing architecture of a product to facilitate new changes required, and performance tune the product.
Product Re-engineering focuses on transforming an existing product in order to reconstitute it in a new form and with new features, taking advantage of emerging technologies, but without major changes to the inherent functionality. The objective of re-engineering a product is to optimize its performance and value to the end-user.
Iblesoft follows a structured method for product re-engineering:
• Understanding the business model
• Listing out the existing features
• Figuring out which features need to be modified or added afresh
• Studying the existing architecture
• Analyzing whether the existing architecture can accommodate the required changes and/or new
features
• Re-architecting the product, as needed, towards accommodating additional features or changes
• Testing the re-engineered product and delivering it
• Providing maintenance services
