R&D mode
mode
For special projects, the Company adopts a project-oriented matrix project management mode, where the joint R&D team consists of a project leader and inter-departmental experts. In the early stage of product development, each department puts forward opinions on technology, architecture and implementation method of the product, to contribute to the overall plan. As such, this mode effectively avoids possible problems in the followup production phase and significantly improves the efficiency of product development and the success rate of project.
The interactive R&D mode is mainly applied in developing new products and services in traditional software, including processes such as demand analysis, scheme design, feasibility technical demonstration, coding and testing, product service trial, product delivery to customers, and technical support feedback. Oriented by customer demands, the Company focuses on communication with customers on functional requirements and product interactions, and incorporates customer feedback into the Company's product development process. Throughout the key processes of product life cycle, the Company aims at connection and feedback of personnel, technology and information, to ensure that the Company's products and services meet the technical requirements and customers’ office demands.
Thanks to the long-term R&D in the office field and the accumulation of product experience, the Company studied and realized a series of mature key technologies and general technical schemes. On this basis, the Company gradually formed a cross-platform technology supporting system for rapid design, development, adaptation and promotion of software products and services for the new areas, new markets and new demands.
