How W2S Solutions Helped Monetize Intellectual Property- Taking it from the Page to the Browser

    CHENNAI, INDIA, July 23, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Enterprise Reporting Tools-either custom systems or packaged units are always a major headache for business leaders. All too often they are built with the mindset of a programmer rather than the vision of a business leader, or indeed end user. So many times the result is an inflexible, quickly obsolete tool that the business is wedded to, in an unhappy marriage that is too expensive to get out of.

Over the past two years, W2S Solutions have studied the design, development and implementation of enterprise software solutions and used this insight to assist clients in creating solutions that overcome all of the above issues. The company has identified a unique approach that enables clients to build an efficient system that lets them add new components easily and reduce IT expense. W2S labels it Focused plan, because rather than accumulating all requirements initially, companies focus on providing a trail for their system to be developed over time and as requirements emerge.

W2S strongly believes this approach was a key success factor when creating a complex, bespoke solution for a key client, the Culture Builders http://tcb-profiling.com. Chris Preston, Director at the Culture builders http://www.theculturebuilders.com and Jane Sparrow, author of the book "The Culture Builders; Leadership Strategies for Employee Performance" were determined that their three years of research for the book should be converted into an online tool quickly to seize the opportunity and interest created by the book's launch the tool was a key way of reusing and monetising their intellectual property.

To address this, Chris Preston brought in Madhu Kesavan, founder and leader of W2S Solutions www.w2ssolutions.com. Understanding the challenge of converting a set of highly complex beta excel sheet algorithms into an online performance management tool, Madhu drew together a talented core team to ensure a solution could be quickly designed and implemented.

W2S Solutions did not focus on delivering a complete solution; rather they concentrated on building a pilot project that created the core of the customized, complex report based on the client's algorithm. This was rapidly achieved by W2S's talented developer team along with a high quality QA process. Throughout this period there was a constant interaction between Chris and W2S Solutions about the business vision, the emerging needs and his view on the development. W2S focused on standardizing components, which allowed the business to quickly incorporate new functionality by reusing existing components. Madhu also worked with his team to create an architecture that would allow rapid fixes for any issues identified a modular approach to the tool allows the team to 'break it down into pieces' and find both the problem and the fix very quickly.

Looking at the final product, Chris Preston states:
"I am SO proud to share this tool with clients, and to use it with our teams. Madhu and his company took my ideas, my data and a vision I had for a future tool, and made it possible. They've also built something that I trust to be reliable and accurate and will stand the test of time. It's now a core part of our business, and something we anticipate will grow and grow, with the help of W2S."
