5. Delphi - The Pioneer in Innovative Computer
Software
Delphi is the name that strikes first whenever a debate is made
regarding software and software developmental growth within the
software industry. It has made a significant impact on the
overall software services be it software development or basic
web application development. The reason for Delphi to be a
leader in the industry is that it makes software that is user
friendly and is not very sophisticated, yet the applications
they make are among the best in the industry. The applications
which they develop are easily compatible to almost any type of
software. Unlike other software’s which tend to occupy most of
the memory space and reduce the speed of performance, the
applications developed by Delphi never alters the speed of
performance of the systems.
The development of software has taken a drastic change in the
last decade as people became more and more conversant with the
usage of computers. People started to know the importance of
computers and started to depend more on computers and computer
applications. With the passage of time computers caught a
stronghold in almost all aspects of life thereby increasing the
requirement of software. In order to fulfill this requirement
many IT companies started to scout for place where the cost of
labor was cheap and without any conditions. And that’s how
Delphi development outsourcing took place in India.
As India was a fast emerging hub for all IT related activities
and the cost labor was less and that too without compromising on
the quality in software development. Thereby making it the most
happening place in the IT world and Delphi harvested the most
and is still yielding good results in the field of software
development.

6. In the present world scenario where almost all types of
industries had taken a beating in not only profits but also
developmental work due to so many economic reasons. But still
this brand worked its way through with only minimal hurdles and
that’s because of the firm grip which it had in the software
development arena and with its roots firmly fixed and focused in a
customer friendly environment.
This well known brand played a major role not only in application
development but also in various other fields like Application
conversions; Database Applications, Statistical software’s and it also
ensured specialized training. Delphi is also instrumental in
publishing software related books which cover a wide range of topics
which are user friendly. Delphi’s powerful language and highly
efficient compilers help is giving the developer a strong support when
customizing it with Windows platform.
It has a dedicated team of members who try to keep in pace with the
requirements with of the customers throughout the world and no matter
the place from which the team member responds but still the result out
put will always remain he same, such is the expertise of this company
in this field. Delphi is a company which has been a world leader for
the last many years and will stay on the top for many years to come.

7. The Shift in Mobile Apps Development
Are the days of App Stores Numbered? Certainly that’s what the
experts believe if we go by web-giants like Google. According to
a leading online mobile app store, GetJar, coming years will see
a gradual fall in the developer community as the world of Apps
will be as huge as the internet. However what might keep the
developers carefree at this moment is the hypothetical time-line
of ten years, suggested by CEO of GetJar, which might take
before it begins to fall. Where the numbers are still rising in
the App world, what might begin to vary is the nature of
applications developed, that will incline to get more personal
and practical as believed by Symbian Foundation.
The spark set by Apple’s App store couple of years ago is still
flaming high, with download figures notching above 1.5 billion
by end of 2009. The storming popularity of Apple’s App store
among users and developers even took Apple by surprise. The
move, believed to be a ‘one time hit’ by many, is now turned
into a race among the top mobile giants like Apple’s iPhone,
Blackberry, Google’s Android and the world’s largest mobile
phone business, Nokia.
Thus it is wise to say, that the variation in sales and
popularity experienced by application developers like Playfish,
is perhaps not ideal to suggest a downfall of the developer
community but an indication of rapidly changing interests and
trend among the users of such applications.
The recent years have witnessed a shift in the way that
businesses across the globe have begun to view and analyze
mobile applications as an add-on to promote their growth in the
market. The introduction and availability of high-speed mobile
data networks, like EDGE and 3G,in the developed world has
7

8. further supplemented this ideology and has pushed a demand for a
platform shift from personal computers to hand-held mobile
devices. This is also provoked by the users’ need to access
real-time information on the move as the falling prices of
mobile devices have made it more affordable for larger chunks to
buy and use these services. In the contemporary world of
communication, today it’s not just the professionals’, but the
general mobile users’, need to access the internet via mobile
phones. Companies offering services like recruitment,
travelling, real-estate, leisure, entertainment et. al., have
shown urgency in integrating web-portals to mobile based
applications. The ask is so high that in the recent few years
the number of companies offering mobile application development
have almost grown three times.
Where this has increased the level of competition between
developers, it has exposed companies to the risk of partnering
with outsourcing-services providers with lack of experience and
expertise. Due to this many IT companies in the west have burnt
their hands to bad outsourcing service providers. This had a
great impact on the way companies begin to perceive outsourcing
and started questioning the benefits gained through it,
resulting in strong hesitancy to outsource work or changing
their policies to curtail it.
Perhaps that explains why many outsourcing companies in recent
years have either shut-down or fighting to survive in the
business. However, this does not incline us to believe that
outsourcing is a bad practice or is ineffective in drawing out
benefits identified with it. As a suggestion, IT companies can
only be more careful and measured in picking up outsourcing
partners to avoid bad experiences.
Among thousands of outsourcing service providers, OTS Solutions,
a Microsoft certified partner, is one company that has continued
to progress and impress its clients even through the testing
times for outsourcing industry. Having served the IT industry
since last ten years by developing IT solutions in technologies
like .NET, ASP, Java, Delphi, PHP and others, OTS Solutions has
8

9. been involved in iPhone and Android application
development since its emergence and now it constitutes one of
its core competences in the mobile development area.
With the growing infrastructure and empowerment of a mobile
user, the business of mobile application development will
continue to grow but with a noticeable difference that the
immediate market for developers has begin to shift from a
general mobile user, who once directly downloaded application
from web based App stores, to companies that offer professional
services to mobile users. Applications developed for mobile
phones have begin to shape more specific and practical rather
than general, how they were built until recently. Thus the days
of App stores available on the internet might be numbered but
the future of mobile application development is bright and will
continue to surprise the users with more innovative and
purposeful applications.
Why opt for Android application development
With more and more users buying Android-based smart phones all
over the world, it’s no wonder that professionals adept in
Android development are in high demand. In fact, the Android
mobile phone market, according to some research data, is growing
steadily every month at a remarkable rate of 32 per cent, thanks
to the release of new handsets every now and then. The
popularity of the MotoBLUR, Motorola Droid, and some HTC models,
along with the operating system’s open-source nature, is
believed to play a key role in the growing enthusiasm for
Android application development.
If you are still wondering how Android development can help,
here are some of the advantages of an Android platform, which
are sure to lure you:
9

10.  Sending and/or receiving data across varied mobile networks
using Bluetooth, EDGE, GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, UMTS and EV-DO
technologies
 Google Talk usage for Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking
 Libraries with an extensive range for video, audio and
image files
 Data storage made easy with SQLite
 For 3D and 2D graphics, availability of all-inclusive
libraries
 IPC (Interprocess communication) message passing
 Features of Touchscreen, Video camera, accelerometer,
magnetometer and GPS
 Exporting and signing an app for publishing
From a business perspective, an Android platform can be
extremely beneficial. To begin with, you won’t need costly tools
for Android development or pay steep licensing fees. Your
primary costs will usually include your expenditure on these
three categories:
 Expertise for development and testing
 Devices for development and testing
 Royalty fees, in case you want to use third party app
stores for distribution
With an open source OS, Androids are royalty free and license
free, which makes them quite compelling for wireless operators
and handset manufacturers. What’s more, unlike other mobile
platforms, you can distribute Android applications in a variety
of ways. To begin with, you can sell them via 3rd party stores.
Otherwise, you may also set up an exclusive network through
which you can promote the sales of such applications that have
been developed. Unlike a monopoly market, the market for Andriod
apps is quite open, which makes it easy to monetize the apps
once you have developed them.
10

11. The Android platform also allows you easy integration and cross
promoted of various applications. This user friendly feature can
help a lot when you need to create a network between varied
applications.
In case you are raring to go and test the Android platform,
which can offer you better opportunities to monetize your
business investments, hire an Android development company having
adept and experienced Android developers on board. Consider the
services on offer along with the professionalism, quality, and
technical prowess of these professionals to take your final
pick. Remember – you need the right and competent Android
development professionals to bring your ideas in effect. So,
select the ones that offer the right dose of affordability and
quality so that you can help your business grow and take it to
the next level. Best of Luck!
