How does GeetUp decide which emerging technologies will make it as new GeetUp products? Many of our clients require timely solutions to very specific business needs that current products just can’t deliver. This is where the GeetUp found its niche; providing value to both GeetUp and its clients through their engagements. We implement and validate emerging software technologies through their engagements. This provides clients with an attractive value proposition while allowing GeetUp to capitalize upon emerging business opportunities through these technologies. The client engagement process has evolved to where each phase provides value anywhere from fuzzy concepts all the way to mainstream GeetUp product offering.

The Emerging Technology development process starts once business needs are identified through client research and collaboration. This is where GeetUp’s thought leadership becomes critical in translating business needs into solutions. The technology is then produced –or incubated- beyond a conceptual level into functional code by GEETUP INC. programmers. But that technology needs a huge boost – or a “jump start”- before it can be adopted into the real world. Value for both GEETUP INC. and clients are then co-created by validating the technology together; paving the way for larger scale adoption into GEETUP INC. product offerings.

Closely aligned with the Emerging Technology development process, the engagement approach applies to specific client business needs. It is here that the conceptual roots for GEETUP INC. product offerings, such as GEETUP INC. When these technologies are barely more than disparate concepts, we refine and validate them. Once we prove concept validity, they take are adopted by larger entities to become GEETUP INC. products.

The process begins with (1) exploratory workshops at client sites to assess potential value and early adopter advantages. A key element of these workshops is starting with a small, well defined scope so that risk is carefully managed. Next, we work with clients through (2) project definition workshops to define the requirements of proposed solutions. (3) Project proposals are then drawn up before action towards (4) Implementation is taken. Successful execution of the prototype -or (5) Final Deliverable- wraps up typically in 30-60 days, and Proof-of-Concept is developed to assess value to business.
