Sustainable software development is the set of principles and practices that enable a team to achieve and maintain an optimal development pace indefinitely. We feel that the need for sustainable development is an essential but unrecognized issue facing software organizations and groups today. One of the most exciting paradoxes within the technology sector is that while there is an increasing pace of innovation, the expected lifetime of successful software applications isn’t quite decreasing, at least not in a related way.
In today’s paradigm, B2B and B2C consumers have come to a degree where its user experience measures the software standard. According to a research by Forrester, every $1 invested in User experience results in a return of $100 which makes it a ROI of 9,900%! In this perspective, the user’s experience has become an inseparable part of an application or software.
RightCliQ works with its clients to develop software applications, products, and solutions that provide a robust user experience and enhance operational efficiency and measurable business outcomes.
Deployment of Sustainability
However, it’s not very easy to sketch a line of distinction between the code we write and sustainability efforts. Sustainable inputs in Software Engineering helps by breaking this responsibility into three distinct areas:
- Technical Sustainability
Technical sustainability covers the direct decisions we make in the system to provide its desired results. This includes both hardware decisions (CPUs, Memory, Networks) and software decisions (language, architecture, complexity) like latency within the system, testing requirements, or the scale-up/out requirements. You can loosely consider this as “traditional" software engineering.
- Operational Sustainability
Any aspect of the system that needs humans to assume an operational burden to take care of would constitute this section. Areas just like the deployment process, the inner developer loop, and on-call incident volumes are common to the present level of sustainability. It also comprises things like reducing manual toil, capacity planning, effective post-incident reviewing practice, and general observability within the system.
How RightCliq goes about Sustainable Development
Sustainable development propagates efficiency and balancing the requirements of the short and long run. It means doing just the proper amount of labor to fulfill consumers’ needs within the short term while using practices that support future requirements. There aren’t enough software projects today where over time, a team can stay an equivalent size (or even shrink) and still affect the increasing complexity of its software and its ecosystem and increasing customer demands. In sustainable development, the short-term requirements are met by regularly producing software that has the very best possible value to customers. This is done while keeping the price of change as low as possible, which lays the muse for future changes and makes it possible to reply to changes in the ecosystem quickly.

- Order Management Systems

An order management system aids in improving the order-to-cash cycle (OTC), which is how your business receives, processes, directs and completes the customer orders. This consists of everything starting from collecting payment, shipping the things to creating invoices, and providing adequate reports.
The OTC is analytic to the success of a business. It impacts your bottom line and also the customer experience. This also shows that order management systems give a variety of functionality that aids in managing the people, processes, and integrations committed to the completion of an order for any business. These are :
-
-
-
- Centralized order management
- Elimination of manual error and enhanced accuracy through automation
- Time and cost-saving
- Receiving and managing orders from anywhere, anytime
- Seamless order tracking
- Real-time information access and updates
- Efficient order processing
- Increased productivity
- Data analytics and reporting for enhanced decision making
-
- Streamlining of Processes
-
-
A process has been streamlined when it’s been simplified. There are several ways to simplify a process that features various methods and modern business information technology platforms that assist companies in staying relevant. This article talks about what streamlining is and its benefits, what processes and workflows are, and the way to streamline processes and workflows to enhance efficiency.
Streamlining is the process used to simplify or eliminate unnecessary work-related tasks to improve business efficiency or organizations’ efficiency. Streamlining processes require the usage of modernizing techniques, technology, and other possible approaches to finish.
Streamlining processes and workflows may take a while and are best completed in small steps contributing to your organization’s improved efficiency goals. Businesses may streamline processes by reviewing the details of how they manage their challenges. Your organization must decide which areas to simplify. Here are some ways to streamline processes:
-
-
-
- Assess existing processes and workflows
- Rank processes
- Analyze outcomes
- Ask for feedback
- Streamline and automate processes
- Adjust and refine

Concluding Notes
Developing software is a complicated undertaking that is performed in an environment of constant change and uncertainty. In sustainable development, teams are ready to be proactive about changes in their ecosystem. Their attention enables their ability to be proactive in providing the best value to customers with prime quality and reliability. They have an eye toward continual improvement despite increasing complexity. These teams are in a virtuous cycle, where the more the team can improve themselves and how they work together, the greater their ability to deal with increasing complexity and change.
