Change! Oh how that word creates panic and doubt in our minds. Now, by “change”, we do not mean the elusive, lower denominational balance returned when trying to make a purchase with our brand new, stylishly pink 2000 Indian rupee note!  Although after the ordeal of demonetization, this version of change has definitely been on the top of all our minds. However, here we mean “change” as the act or process when something becomes different.

The world is changing at a rapid pace and several developments of the recent years have compelled individuals and companies to brace for radical changes. We, at Kaavay feel that it is imperative that we remain aware of the world around us and prepare ourselves for any challenges that we may come across.

As such we are continuously updating and upgrading our knowledge bank and skills set and are excited to share with you some of the latest developments in the world around and how we have expanded our expertise accordingly to provide a better service experience to our clients.

1. Viral Marketing campaigns:

Fun and catchy campaigns like the Mannequin Challenge or the Ice Bucket Challenge prove that a tiny spark can turn into a blazing fire. We can help light a similar spark that could make your product an international sensation.

2. Wearable Technology:

Most of us have heard of devices that measure your heartbeat, the number of steps taken, BMI, etc. Besides these we have video capturing Spectacles from Snapchat, self-lacing Nike shoes that automatically turn on a cooling mechanism when it gets too hot and the list could go on and on.

The International CES tradeshow (5-8th Jan 2017) held in Las Vegas, USA has showcased numerous such innovative gadgets indicating the proliferation of wearable technology.  Kaavay has been involved with designing customized apps and interfaces for similar devices. Do you need a customized software solution to control or monitor similar smart devices?

3. Image Filters:

There has been a shift from “lip pouting” selfies to awesome filter-edited photos in social media. Apps like Prisma and Snapchat using intelligent and creative image filters have risen in popularity so much so that Facebook is planning to integrate similar filters in the near future. Kaavay has worked with many such image and video editing software and can offer you sophisticated graphic designing solutions.

4. Virtual and Augmented Reality:

Augmented reality is an extension of virtual reality and is a combination of virtual reality with real life. Pokémon Go, the augmented reality game created quite a stir last year with over 500 million downloads worldwide, a huge number of crazy accidents, a couple of deaths and certain countries passing legislations to ban the game. However, Kaavay believes in fostering a creative imagination and we believe that no idea is crazy enough so as to stop us from turning it into a reality for you.

5. 3D printing:

The manufacturing industry is threatened by the revolutionary 3D printing technology. Anything and almost everything can be 3D printed, from simple penholders to entire cars.

This technology has inspired Kaavay in more ways than one. We believe that a prototype is worth a thousand pictures and strive to obtain the most complete picture of our clients’ requirements. Our graphic designers have become adept at visualizing and conceptualizing any idea and turning it into a reality.

6. Alternate Sources of energy:

Mid 2016, Tesla Motors Inc. changed its mission statement to “to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.” Significant amounts of break-through research on the new “Lithium-Oxygen” battery, increased production and consumption of solar power and other such developments indicate that the world is rapidly migrating to a sustainable energy base. We welcome these changes and strive to adapt and integrate the latest technologies into our services.

7. Internet of Things

That day is not too far when after work you enter your home and your intelligent house sensing your mood starts playing suitable music, adjusts the lighting and temperature of the room you are in and starts cooking dinner appropriate to your mood. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest buzzword in technology where the aim is to manage every aspect of daily life with specific apps and digital information. Developing mobile apps to fit your customized need is what we specialize in. Our portfolio consists of many functional and robust mobile apps.

8. Jio

With high speeds, excellent connectivity and competitive pricing, Jio created mayhem in the Indian telecom scene as other telecom players rushed to restructure their strategies and Reliance Jio stores witnessed unending queues of customers in line to avail the free data offer. The internet is now easily accessible by almost all sections of the Indian population. Social media, websites, SEO and online advertising will now have a deeper and a more meaningful impact. Let us help you harness this power source effectively and efficiently.

9. Amazon Go

The retailing industry has been in a state of flux in the past few years with online stores, online deliveries and now cashless stores! As a business, it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive without having an e-commerce platform linked to your retailing store. We can help you go digital by creating e-commerce solutions so that your business flourishes in the highly competitive retailing industry.

10. F.A.S.T

The Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, the world’s largest single dish radio telescope located in southwest China, came into commission in the final quarter of 2016. This telescope will probe the universe and search for signs of extraterrestrial forms of life. Kaavay recognizes the importance of digital communications and making a presence in the digital space. Website development and digital marketing are some of the tools that enable you and your products to not only advertise, but to live forever in digital time.

11. Make in India

The Make in India initiative has catapulted India into becoming a global designing and manufacturing hub. A system that drives innovation, develops skills, protects IP and improves the manufacturing infrastructure is now in place. Kaavay sees this as an immense opportunity for the IT and SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytic and Cloud) market and looks forward for an active participation in making Goa standout as an impressive IT solutions/SMAC hub.

12. Aadhaar card

Aadhaar the world’s largest biometric identity system has captured, authenticated and stored 1.07 billion Aadhaar card numbers as of 26^th November 2016. As intimidating as this number may sound, managing and drawing out meaningful applications from such massive databases seems to be the order of the day with companies and organizations designing systems that try to collect data of every second of our life. We at Kaavay have designed and worked with platforms involving millions of data fields. We are skilled at providing robust and practical applications that can help your company build significant databases and provide useful solutions for your company’s need.

13. Brexit and Donald Trump

Of the several past international events that have occurred, the Brexit and the US Presidential Elections of 2016 probably have created the greatest turbulence globally. With Britain voting to leave the European Union and the Republican candidate Donald Trump elected as the President of America, there seems to be an air of uncertainty all around. Nevertheless the political condition, innovation and technology will always be the need of the hour in this “Digital Age”. Kaavay promises to stay updated of the important digital developments that are taking place globally and provide you with the latest and the most current solution to your digital needs.

14. Open Enterprise

With so much information and services at your fingertips, it often gets intimidating as to how to manage all the resources effectively. Surely you must have felt the need for a unified and integrated platform through which you could collaborate with all your stakeholders in order to maximize value and provide the best service. Kaavay recognizes this need and has a number of solutions that help address this requirement.

15. Demonetization

The most impactful change that we Indians endured towards the end of 2016 was the nationwide demonetization drive which shook us all out of our comfort zones. The justification for this initiative may be many; from keeping a check on black money to weakening terrorism. But nothing is more evident than the fact that we are being pushed into a cashless world where digital payments will be the new norm. We can help you in designing and implementing safe and secure modes of cashless transactions so that you and your organization can reap the many promised fruits of demonetization.

We always look out for opportunities to learn, grow and help our community of clients to be the best that they can be. Come visit us or maybe just contact us. Whatever challenges the future may throw your way; Team Kaavay is ready to give you the best solution possible!
