A2O is a unique and industry-leading mass-customization value-proposition targeted at Enterprise-Scale retail. It is the product of over two years of focused R&D effort by UCSSM - The Retail Software Factory - to incorporate the best practices and intellectual property gained over a period of two decades. This approach to software development for the retail industry is far superior to most other recent and conventional approaches.
Some of the notable distinguishing factors that set A2O apart are:
- Proven retail domain knowledge (in framework and component repositories), leading to faster time to market.
- Software reuse, leading to improved cost economics; use of pre-validated design models, frameworks and components which enable accelerated development and reduced cost.
- Automation, leading to improved predictability and consistent quality of output. Solutions are built using proven IP assets and development methodology, thereby reducing risk and improving quality of output.
- Best practices – Tried-and-Tested proprietary development practices (MID) that achieve faster throughput; reduce technology dependence and leverage our two decades of retail software development experience.
