AATISH DEDIA在Zycus Horizo​​ n享有愿景，路线图和更多的评论

周一早上早些时候，ZycusCEO Aatish Dedhia shared his firm’s vision and product roadmap in a speech that could have been taken in one of two ways by the audience.

一方面，AATISH非常保守，在模块化的基础上建立了他公司的套件套件，提供了几乎是一个“快速追随者”的透视。

但另一方面，Aatish鸽子进入Zycus的核心和简单的模块化区域之外的核心，通过表示“如何”，而不仅仅是“什么”。And it’s the “how” that stands apart, like a "card-based" user experience that is quite different from others in the market to unified free-text query search that is closer to a procurement-centric Google than anything we’ve seen (albeit with enterprise security, permissions and workflow).

Aatish began his talk by noting his goal for Zycus was to become, “the top global procurement suite alternative to ERP,” a vision he first shared in 2009. He believes that success will come from focusing on a number of key areas areas including:

• 提供全面的产品套房
• 保险易用性
• 对客户需求的响应
• 保持敏捷性
• Growing with trust
• 投资客户响应性

Aatish noted that, “As Zycus grows, we do not want to be like the competition” and that “our customer is our conscience.” Release schedules are now monthly, thanks in part to a 250-person engineering team, he said. And “suite” is clearly at the core of what this team is focused on. (More on this later in subsequent posts and analysis.)

蒸馏出来Aatish共享，我可以打破Zycus的愿景和进入五个主题：

1. 利用金融独立。Without an outside board and investors, invest and build for the long-term versus the next quarter or year.
2. 保持专注于套件愿景。But not just modules – Zycus believes what matters is the suite overall and how the sum of the pieces exceed that of the individual assets alone. Said another way, put the overall user experience first and how the user behaves rather than how the user simply launches and interacts with modules. This is an important nuance that helps differentiate Zycus.
3. Give equal weight to strategic and transactional functional investment in development. This stands in contrast to other suite peers, which tend to emphasize one area – often transactional procurement – over the other.
4. 核心技术与分析力量。换句话说，在整个用户体验中，将信息和数据放在套件核心和模块化体验中，并在整个用户体验中以微妙的方式进行这些创新。
5. 构建杀手但务实的功能使用它们时,发光。Zycus的高层鲍威rPoint and vision statements may look like a “me too,” but the execution of the solution and roadmap is unique indeed. The combination of listening to customers based on use-case, functional and product levels (and not following the market) and some pretty significant engineering/R&D horsepower is yielding some fascinating results even if PPT alone does not do it justice.

随着我们钻入Zycus的愿景和能力，继续调整。
