dragonRAD: Multi-Channel Engagement Platform that Enhances Functional Capabilities Date:   Sunday , November 23, 2014 Today\'s oligopoly abound market is not only being inundated with newer versions of legendary operating systems like Android, Blackberry and iOS, but also replete with alternative operating systems like TIZEN and Bada. Enterprises are bewildered with the advent of telecommuting and BYOD phenomena, since it is impossible for an enterprise to tie its applications to a single OS or device anymore. To avoid the exhaustion of revamping the entire development with every upgrade, Cnonymn initiated the development of dragonRAD plus the next generation cross-platform mobile application development tool for building, deploying, managing and securing mobile enterprise applications in collaboration with Seregon Solutions Inc, Canada. Amidst the traditional software development companies that just add mobility as another form factor, Cnonymn stands apart with the sheer focus in the entire mobile spectrum; thus unravelling the utmost efficiency and bringing tremendous value. Cnonymn goes that extra mile to drill down till atomic level and develop industry-specific, domain-centric and business process focused products. But all happened by accident as building product was never a plan for Cnonymn. \"Being a product company was a success by accident, because our first client requirement was for building mobile CRM within 6 months, which we successfully developed in just 4 months,\" says Krishna M Chandrala, Co-Founder, Cnonymn. Bringing Ideology Alive Cnonymn was seeking a product that would compliment their ideology of empowering functional specialists to develop applications in enterprise space by leveraging a multi-channel engagement platform with enhanced functional capabilities that would require minimal technical knowhow. During their endeavour to partner with kindred technology partners Cnonymn evaluated various platforms and found Seregon was the best fit for them as they stood out with powerful capabilities and competitive edge; akin to the tool\'s capability to be integrated with any kind of database in the back end. In a very short while, Seregon was impressed with Cnonymn\'s ideology and offered them technology partnership which later evolved into a 3 year Centre of Excellence contract. When ebullient Cnonymn further identified ways to bridge a few short comes in dragonRAD, Seregon extended them an offer to develop the next version of the tool on a joint IP basis. Boosted with the tons of positive feedbacks dragonRAD plus Android version got from 70 enterprises across the globe, Cnonymn is currently fast tracking the development of Blackberry version. Overcoming the Challenges Krishna Chandrala, Koushik Chitrapu, Pradeep Chebolu and Darshini Servansingh - the co-founders -bring their expertise in diversified areas, to create one of the most innovative enterprise mobility solutions company. Cnonymn has so far delivered solutions in most complex functionality driven industries such as Healthcare, Logistics, Utilities so on and so forth. But just like any other first generation entrepreneurs venturing into technology domain undergoes various challenges, so did these management guys as well. However, Cnonymn\'s success in their initial days attracted a couple of angel investors, since they observed the founders\' competency to pinpoint the issues in technology functions. However, the challenge yet lies in finding the right fit for the organization as the domain is too niche and skilled employees can rarely be traced. But Cnonymn puts their complete effort in finding the most appropriate skilled resources and train them. The learning curve becomes quite expensive, as the quality-conscious Cnonymn brings trainers from Canada. However, wisely investing heavily on building process for the company and working around solutions enabled Cnonymn to foresee challenges and mitigate risks. This functionally robust company convince 80 percent of their clients by presenting proof of concept to the utmost utility value customer can attain. Excellence in People Practice Inspired by TATA\'s story, Cnonymn inculcates a culture, where leadership sprouts from everywhere. Each functional head acts as its CEO and takes responsibility for forecasting the budget and achieving target. The importance of value innovation and utility value is carved in every employee\'s mind deep enough to make it their identity. In the flat hierarchy, every employee is encouraged to bring forth a tool, solution, method, application or a new version of existing product to keep innovation at the forefront. After careful evaluation of budget, market viability and implementation feasibility, the ownership of the project is given to the employee who took the initiative. This also ignites the entrepreneurial spirit in them. Meeting Future Demands Currently the company is keen on opening a new office in Dubai. By March 2015, Cnonymn plans to release the beta version of dragonRAD plus with latest HTML capabilities and rich user experience that is almost close to native. By January 2016, the company aims to augment the tool by integrating business process manager. It would enable customers to draft the functional work flow and develop applications in tandem to it, without considering the technical aspects. This simple drag and drop capability would reduce development time by 20-30 percent, as opposed to drafting traditional System Requirement Specification functional document and design. By August 2016, the tool would be augmented as a multi-channel engagement platform, which would enable customers to run the same application on mobiles, tabs, desktops or even hybrids. It would not only save 15-20 percent of time that customers would spend in customizing application for tabs, but also would auto-adjust and astonish them with the same native feel on tabs.
