So the countdown has started to launch Shephertz offerings. Today we finished our coding and it has been released for a final round of System testing. Started focusing on how the site will look, whether all links are in place and not broken and above all whether our OpenID integration works seamlessly across multiple products. , It has been challenging to make it work with sub-domains. Thankful to Godaddy for their great support who helped us solve DNS and subdomain configurations issues on the phone.
Though it was a big and risky decision which we took 3 weeks before to move to OpenID but that was a necessary step to be taken. Centralized Identity Management is crucial for our customers unified experience especially since we will be launching multiple products next week and some more thereafter in the following weeks. Now we have developed our own OpenID provider and our different products work as relying parties for authentication. The implementation has put us two weeks behind schedule but at the end it has been a worthwhile decision which will pay heavy dividends in future.
Since our main product offering is a cloud platform which provides multiple SDK’s, documentation has been a humongous task as we are supporting multiple technologies and device types. It has been a great challenge to coordinate across teams to keep the documentation and SDK’s in sync across SDK’s
Next 2-3 days will be focusing on the site, licenses, terms and conditions and our social media marketing strategy.
Apart from the pressures of start up and the entrepreneurial challenges it has been absolute fun developing this App42 product line with such a great team. Instead of sitting in cubicles and in different rooms, recently we decided to all work in the same room with round tables. It has immensely improved our productivity and above all exponentially increased our fun in coding and having meetings directly from our own seats. We just turn the face of our seats towards the person who wants to initiate any discussion. No meeting requests, no appointments and no coordination.
We look forward to also listen to our favourite music when one of our colleagues takes the role of an RJ who plays music on request while all of us hum our way to coding.
Time to hit the sack … tomorrow will bring new sets of problems and challenges plus many more successes but above all, we will be working towards getting one more inch closer to our dream.
