About

Software cannot exist for itself, its purpose is not to be just a program or package, but every bit of it should have a business purpose. The business need not be a money-making business, but any establishment that uses software. This weblog is an effort to align business interests with software concerns and methodologies.

What is iface?

iface is a shortform for interface, the enabler of communication. Interface is ubiquitous, everything that we deal with has an interface, in fact multiple interfaces which makes our world so dynamic.

I have named my establishment iface Consulting, on the lines of iface. iface Consulting aims at developing software for business, by design. The focus is on the business and its benefits. This does not undermine the technical challenge involved, but uses technology as a means to achieve benefits for the business.

Who Am I?

I have been working as a software professional for 9+ years, in India and USA, currently based in Mumbai, India. I have learnt that every business should be convinced about the ROI in software. To be able to do this, the focus should be on the maximum benefit to the business, rather than on just technical expertise. As much as necessary it is for software professionals to realise this, the business should also appreciate this fact and participate whole heartedly to enable this. Get to know more about me and my struggle with software engineering.

This weblog however, is not merely a business interest, it is my identity, my understanding of the software world. This blog was born on wordpress.com as Abhijit Nadgouda @ iface. It is moved here as I wanted to do more with my blog and wanted better control on the software.

This blog is my interface to learn from the world and share my knowledge with it. I look forward to learning and contributing, and meeting new friends through this. My attempts to express myself have kindled the desire to write, so keep checking this website for my thoughts on software and its applications.
