Digital Product Development Services FAQs
What is Digital Product Development?
Digital products are software products generally delivered through the cloud and mobile apps. While they are not physically tangible, there are nonrecurring engineering (NRE) costs associated with developing digital products as well as ongoing cloud costs associated with their operation. Consequently, companies across industries hire companies providing product development services for their digital product engineering expertise. Digital product development encompasses all of the steps involved in bringing a digital innovation to life, from ideation through to ongoing support, and requires skills in web, design, iOS and/or Android development, software design and engineering, UX/UI design, strategy and project management.
What are Examples of Digital Products?
Any software-as-a-service (SaaS) application — such as Salesforce, Zoom, Google Workspace and Slack — is a digital product. In addition, games, music applications, ebooks, virtual courses, templates and any software-only invention can all also be considered examples of digital products.
What is Digital Product Engineering?
Digital product engineering includes the steps involved in the digital product development process, from ideation through development to product release. Digital products are generally developed using an agile software development process. Once a digital product is launched, the product continues to be improved and updated using continuous development and integration. Digital products need regular maintenance as the platforms they run on continue to evolve.
