Interview with Parshant Gami, Co-founder - xEnabler

xEnabler was created to provide unique proposition between off-shoring and in-house teams so that organizations can expand and shrink flexibly while getting the benefits they are used to of having an in-house development team.

I have led a number of technical leadership position before starting xEnabler and have seen the struggles that organizations face when hiring a digital agency or trying to outsource. Also, with in-house team being totally occupied on operational projects innovation can be a real challenge. This can encourage the risk of being outdated in this fast paced tech industry.

xEnabler's unique framework of "Simplify. Align. Enable." helps our customers to digitally transform their operation using state of the art software.

At xEnabler, we are dreamers, problem-solvers, and passionate tech

enthusiasts on a relentless pursuit of crafting unmatched digital experiences and solutions for our clients that deliver unparalleled results. My role at xEnabler is to provide vision and technical leadership for our innovative projects..

xEnabler has been part of some of Australia's biggest mobile development projects. Our biggest achievement is a suite of mobile apps that are used by Smarter City Australia to provide end to end parking solutions including Pay by app solution, Compliance solution for parking rangers and virtual permit solutions used by the council to manage permits via app.

xEnabler is a fully agile company. We work with 4 week long iterations to manage continuous delivery. All projects are given development efforts and delivery time based on scope. The tasks are then broken down in 4 weeks long iteration to allow agile development and continuous delivery.

At xEnabler we put extensive time into understanding requirements as well as expected business outcome. We help clients using our "Simplify. Align. Enable." framework to make sure that our technical solutions not only aligned with the current business requirements, but also encourage the future business expansions and are easy to expand.

 

Native as well as cross platform have their own place in mobile development. It is completely dependent on business requirement which one will create successful and profitable outcomes for the business. At xEnabler we spend extensive time understanding target audience size, workflows, audience demography and application features to make an informed decision of technology. Since we have expertise in both native as well as cross platform development we are not biased against either and can make the decision that is right for the businesses.

We have fixed hourly prices for our development. During the start of a project, we do requirements analysis and estimate the project until we can be sure by 30% variance. This helps us estimate the realistic timeline and budget for the project. In many cases, a client may require on hire resources, in that case we provide hourly rating for the resource based on skill and location.

Our mobile apps benefit our clients in a number of ways. Some key outcomes of our solutions have been following

Increase client reach and provide uber user experience

Achieve better strategic alignment with business strategy and reduce technical debt

Achieve better return on investment by on time and continuous delivery of solutions

Honesty is the best policy. We at xEnabler understand that in any project there are always times when things don't go according to plan. Being honest and open about it helps overcome difficulties as a team. Transparent and well-defined process is the key to client satisfaction and productivity.

At xEnabler we embrace change as a continuous process. We pride ourselves to be a group of learners who are always learning new things and applying it to our work. This has certainly paid off for keeping our solutions current and ahead of competition. Currently we are utilizing Industry 4.0 solutions to enhance our solutions or be smarter, more powerful and user friendly.

Industry 4.0 technologies like AR, VR, and IoT has given the boost to mobile apps allowing them to serve users in a more personalized and powerful way. Especially, creating user experience that is easy to use and get personalized. It has also created significant difference for users who could not get benefit from traditional way of interaction with technology.

Mobile technology is expanding from just being a phone to a whole connected ecosystem of devices that helps users interact with technology using phone, wearable, and sensors. Mobile apps are becoming a concierge of accessing services for users and are going to get more popular. They are already changing with other access devices like smart watch, voice assistants, AR/VR devices and other sensors. We at xEnabler are certainly looking forward to the future and what it holds.
