Need for Product Market Launch Acceleration
The challenges in ensuring high quality devices
Some of the current trends indicate that successive new product launches along with high quality standards and aggressive time lines have become the core differentiator of product companies.
Product companies are also facing the dilemma of how to adopt to rapidly changing technologies while maintaining cost advantages and customization for local markets.
All this calls for a planned product market launch acceleration program for device companies.
1. Ability to deliver differentiation: (a) Deliver innovation for disruptive product ideas (b) Gaining advantage in a standardized world (c) Productize and adopt new technology in product roadmap
2. Ability to optimize investment: (a) From single or staggered market launch to concurrent global product launch (b) Transformation impact on R&D budgets – operations optimization; technology focus
3. Ability to monetize rapidly: (a) The product launch window is small; missing it will cause revenue and market share loss (b) Need to manage variants and deploy products targeting each market segment
4. Ability to manage obsolescence: (a) Ability for products to outlive component and technology obsolescence (b) Cost of replacement; design re-spin and subsequent field deployment
By launching 250+ products and impacting $25B of revenues for customers – across various product categories and business verticals – HCL has put together the best of product engineering services

Consumer Electronics
For a consumer electronics major, HCL handles product testing for multiple release models with total variants crossing 200 by centralizing the testing resources. HCL invested over $1.6 million upfront to setup a complete product testing signal generation lab which will be amortized over multiple years; we used in-house automation frameworks to reduce testing by 25%.

Network & Telecom
For a Network & Telecom major, we helped with local factory set up, vendor approval and localization. We rolled out a program with three stages of cost reduction, and leveraged domestic expertise to develop products customized for the Indian market. We also reengineered the legacy diagnostics code and converted it to a standard format which significantly reduced the design time for EMS/NMS (30%).

Office Automation
For an office automation major, developed a single-click reordering platform to bring 10,000 resellers, 30,000 companies and 200,000 machines together to open a up new $25B revenue stream. Supplies are shipped within 24 hours after they are ordered, providing an unmatched user experience. An overall 40% reduction in time-to-market of the new solution which was developed and delivered in 9 months.
