In our side, you will find a lot of small software companies, they are small, and there are dozens of people. They operate hard, some are constantly growing, and some are constantly being weak. However, with small and medium-sized enterprises improve the level of information technology, small software companies will have more opportunities. So how do these small software companies seek their own way?
[Product positioning can not be ignored]
Some small software companies do not have product positioning in the process of development, always thinking that as long as it is a software project, if you can't do it, it will be packaged to other companies. In fact, this idea is not much benefit to the company. The company must determine its own core products according to their own abilities and familiar environments, which is to understand themselves. For example, I have done an office automation project. For this business, I am very familiar with this, in this regard, I will have a man in this regard, I don't have to catch fashion, think about implementing the ERP business. If most people are interested in web development, then seek ways to go on site construction and e-commerce.
Of course, in the early stages of the company to survive, do some system integration, but the company's core business and secondary business are clear. With the development of the company, gradually form its core competitiveness. The company must formulate the strategic planning of technology development and enterprise development, and work hard to this goal. It is better to make the company a lot, but in the early days, it is most important to survive in the competition may be the most important for some small software companies. The development plan of this company is the result of the market and itself, and if there is no special environmental change, we must stick to it, do not do this industry software today, and do the industry in that industry tomorrow.
[Strengthen management level]
When the small software company is only a few people, there is no management, communication, there are some things, everyone can say it. When the increase in personnel, management issues are very important. When we understand their management status, we will find that they have many problems in the management process. For example, a general software company employees are under 30 people, mostly two major sectors: Technical, Marketing, and Technical, mainly responsible for software design and development, marketing department is responsible for the development and service of the market. However, through a large number of project implementations, there is a problem in communication between the two departments, and it is easy to give the project's management implementation; in addition to the performance assessment of the technical department, it is generally fixed salary, once market staff When the salary is higher than the developer, the technical department is easy to cause psychological imbalance. With the development of software companies, the expansion of the company's scale will make these problems more prominent.
Due to the small scale, it may manage the incomplete management system, and the phenomenon of random management. Most to let the employee's headache is the company's person in charge to form some institutions, and will destroy some institutions at will, so the company should discuss with employees to develop some practical rules and regulations, and everyone will follow. In addition, it is important to have an emotional management, and more about the company's future and present situations, so that employees regard the company's future as their future. Each company has its own development plan, so that employees know the long-term vision of the company, and may help each employee perform career design, let employees are full of confidence in the company. The company is best to have a comprehensive management department - office, main work involves all efforts outside the technology and market, guaranteeing the technical and market sector service, and also conduct company performance assessments.
In order to better understand the work of each department, it is recommended to establish a set of office automation systems (OA) within the company. The content does not require a lot, but the focus is to strengthen internal communication and communication, so that everyone can contact each other, learn from each other. . It is very easy to do with the establishment of such an exchange platform to solve management issues, it is also very effective. The general office automation system has an email system. It can help everyone easily deliver information, and a good channel for the upper and lower levels. Sometimes it is not good to say, it may be easily completed by email. If there is a BBS in the system, you can publish your own opinions in your leisure time, you can express your own opinions, through the problems, through the content, managers can improve management, you can learn together. To improve, you can also gradually establish corporate culture with your company's characteristics through BBS. It is also necessary to explain that it is best to join the management of work logs in OA, which facilitates the assessment of employees, and urges everyone to work. [Do a good job in personnel]
Small software is also facing talented problems. At present, the current flow rate of software industry is high, and there are often people in the project, people walking the project. This includes two parts, one is the loss of market staff, and the second is the loss of technical personnel, which will have a big impact on the company. In order to avoid the flow of market staff, the company will strengthen the management of customers. Small software companies must have a customer relationship management system, and to the customer's situation, the communication process and progress to the customer should also be controlled. Strengthen market staff's work collaboration and promote information sharing. In order to stabilize the techniques of technology, it is mainly compensation, development and learning opportunities. For ordinary programmers, you need to do a good job of files, such as software design reports, test reports, software customer demand reports, etc., as required as much as possible. Although this will account for 1/2 of the software programming, this can ensure the continuity of the project. For software developers, I want to know how to make it, and I will instill the company's beautiful future, so that everyone is optimistic about their own future. More importantly, let them get development in the company, can be improved technology, and have been expanded.
Perhaps small software is difficult to recruit high-level, high-level talents, which requires more work to work on employees. In addition, the company wants to create opportunities and channels, let everyone accumulate experience, more suggestions, share everyone's knowledge, and improve overall levels. For example, for market personnel, put their market survey is placed on OA, allowing technicians to understand the needs of customers. Market staff can make technicians advise the solution to put mature solutions on the Internet, and you can learn from. This time is long, and the company discovers that work efficiency has been improved, and the company's work ability has also been improved, and the cooperation of personnel will be improved. Through the management of knowledge sharing, more importantly, the employee has developed a team awareness to strengthen the independent management awareness of employees.
[Guarantee normalization operation]
Although small software companies are small, they are also the company, so they have to operate. In some things, I will seek everyone's opinion. If you regard the company's development as your own development, you will propose your own rationalization suggestions. General employees will also communicate very easy to communicate, and can publish their own suggestions in some things. The company should also consider it in handling employees, don't pay attention to it, otherwise it will be easy to hurt one person.
There are a few in the company's normalization operation, and you may be inspired by everyone. Due to the lack of communication, the implementation of some projects has caused a lot of trouble for the implementation of some projects. Technicians are based on technology research and development, little understanding of the market, and sometimes it may not be able to understand the needs of the market. Although the market personnel understand market demand, it is not well to grasp the possibility of technology in the process of contact with customers. In this way, it is recommended to establish a project group to establish a project group, set up a project manager, and the project manager is fully responsible for the implementation of the entire project. The project team requires both technical research and development personnel, and people with relevant market experience. The assessment and profit of the project team, which may solve the problem of market and technology development communication in this way. Today, the principle of customer service is especially important for small software companies. Because small software companies are small businesses, such customers are actually unclear, and the requirements for software functions are not clear. First, the staff of the Marketing Department should be consciously guided customers, and develop in terms of intelligibility. At the same time, pay attention to the appropriate training customers, let him understand the company's technology and the way, so that customers and completion techniques can be retained. Although the customer is small, the customer base is large, if the service is in place, the credibility in the customer will increase. Therefore, customers can promote your products so that the company can get more customers from the customer base. In addition, the development trend of software companies is also a service, and now the service starts to charge everyone has accepted. The software is the slogan of the service, and the software company will slowly understand.
Small software should want to be unbeaten in competition, there are many jobs to do, some of the problems mentioned above may be ordinary for the company's development. But there are still many software companies to summarize lessons. For some short-term interests in front of you, some software companies will give up their own original goals, and some software may give up the temporary benefits to pursue the company's greater development. Small software companies will follow the laws and summarizes, they will find their own way out from many software companies.
