When the term IT is used, it is a known fact all over the world that this keeps growing. However there is a very interesting fact that can be noted. When it first stormed into the market, its growth was very nominal. It took several years to get developed to a certain stage. During the 80s and the early 90s, we saw the development of computers to an extent.

Software too was changing, but it had slow growth. This was because people were not sure if they would cater to the needs of the common man. It looked more like a very expensive deal, which only the rich could afford. This was the actual fact in the beginning. However things took a turn by the end of the 90s. There seemed to be a sudden explosion in this field.

Suddenly everyone was moving to America to explore greener pastures. People from all over the world were recruited, as there was a never ending need to match the demands. By the beginning of the new millennium, there was no stopping the information technology field. There was constant change in all aspects. The growth and evolution was phenomenal.

Hardware and software kept growing at lightning speed. Before you even enjoyed using a good laptop, there would be an upgraded version in the market. Software too is being upgraded, and this is because of the growth in all the industries. A lot of competition among computer companies is also a reason for this growth. There has been a lot of competition and to better each other, new creations are being let out into the market as often as they can.

The growth has also helped a great many people with jobs, but of course consumers have reason to complain. They need to keep buying new hardware or software, as both have to be compatible for use. The IT industry has also grown to be more sophisticated in terms of presentation and content too. This growth has helped many countries, because the companies are outsourcing a great deal.

Because of the outsourcing, companies save money, and are able to get more manpower. This will mean hiring a lot of good talent. And thus good talent put together will produce a great deal of better outputs. The growth is so phenomenal that the world has grown smaller. And right now, this very second, someone is creating something new as well.

Business leaders and engineers often see the potential for higher performance by solving problems with new technologies. At first, only technical achievements occur. Finally, practical benefits become available.

At that point, adventuresome customers begin to toy with the results. Many have small applications.

But the bulk of potential customers are skeptical and want to see more proof.

Many promising technologies stall at this point. How can more progress be made? It usually takes a different business model. Let’s look at an example.

In 1991, TriQuint Semiconductor had learned how to make high quality, low cost gallium arsenide semiconductors, which was an emerging technology in the electronics industry.

The company made major strides beginning in 1991 to improve its business model: Expertise was bolstered in that year by having merged together three pioneering firms in the field, Gazelle Microcircuits, Gigabit Logic, and TriQuint. But there were still few established uses for this new technology.

Rather than try to provide for all potential applications, the company decided to specialize in two applications, high performance wired optical networks and wireless communications. For optical networks, TriQuint looked at how to speed up traffic. For wireless communications, TriQuint espected that the new, higher frequencies that regulators made available would require better electronics to provide clearer signals.

This dual focus led TriQuint to become the leader in applying its technology to those applications. Developing knowledge about the end market issues was critical to TriQuint’s success because these circuits are designed to optimize certain kinds of communications performance. By being the first to focus on many of these problems with its technology, the company was able to make rapid progress in learning and creating products that provided helpful solutions.

TriQuint’s example is a good model for what many technologists must do:

1. Specialize in one or two applications where there is high potential for benefits and lots interest among potential customers, where success will enable you to apply effective expertise into other large applications.

2. Add the expertise needed to understand what’s needed for those applications.

3. Learn everything you can about what must be done from the customers’ perspectives before they will want to use your offerings.

4. Develop new offerings in conjunction with your most enthusiastic customers.

5. Have continuing conversations with less enthusiastic potential customers to find out how their needs differ.

6. Continually explore what business model adjustments are needed to succeed in the initial target applications and future, related ones.
