Extech Ideas

OUR STORY Over the last decade while the consumer space has raced ahead in exploiting social and digital models, the enterprise space has fundamentally remained stagnant in its evolution from legacy business applications. We are passionate about innovating and harnessing digital/social models for workplace productivity. OUR VISION An engaged connected digital workforce multiplying the power of collective experiential knowledge for learning and innovative problem solving. We want best practices to “go-viral” peer-to-peer. OUR APPROACH Our approach to operational digital transformation is a risk balanced end to end methodology that starts with agile piloting, proving value and then harnessing benefits at scale. We have selectively built competencies that span all levels of operational technologies – master data, manufacturing execution, mobility and wearables. Our proprietary platform SMEConnect integrates with legacy capabilities enabling the workforce to execute processes, access expertise to solve problems, adopt best practices and innovate. The platform is available in iOS, Android and across Realwear and Vuzix wearables. OUR METHODOLOGY We have honed a global near-shore and off-shore balance in our teams to develop a responsive delivery methodology. Leveraging contemporary delivery management tools such as Jira and Asana, we bring to life customer needs and ideas in cycles measured in hours and days. The user is engaged iteratively to develop the requirements and our process assimilates learnings of the business throughout the development process. As a result, capabilities delivered are practical, user friendly and consequentially successful in running the operational processes. All our development processes embrace the agile methodology for responsive delivery cycles and continuous user engagement. Agile uses empirical, iterative approach to software development emphasizing a continuous focus on value, flexibility, customer involvement, and rapid delivery.
