Entering the Software Industry

Entering the software industry is not an easy feat. The professionals in the space learn and apply technical skills while mastering the ability to deliver and exceptionally perform the desires of businesses. People may be able to sit down, learn the craft, and study hard, yet significant difficulty lies in trying to diversify themselves. Setting yourself apart from the crowd is what companies in the software industry are looking for.  

Emphasize Experience: Build Your Portfolio 

Employers are looking for the highest quality people to join their organizations. This is where differentiating yourself is extremely important. Hoping to break into the industry? You need to focus on gathering experience. While you are studying, you need to take the time to complete interesting side projects, apply yourself, and build your portfolio. 

A portfolio is an amazing way to demonstrate that you have taken the time to develop your skills even if you do not have that clear-cut company experience. 

Technical Excellence 

Here at ISU Corp, we stress technical excellence. We pride ourselves on the countless years of experience each of our team’s professionals have garnered. Each of our professionals needed to begin somewhere - they stand out among the crowd because of their dedication to remaining in the know and on top of the constantly changing and evolving software industry. 

Technical excellence is driven by strong communication, minimizing project disruptions, and delivering industry-leading software. Industry professionals have worked with clients and beyond knowing their craft, they are able to keep communication as a top priority to ensure all stakeholders are in the know throughout the duration of every project. Practicing the skill of communication is a great place to start as it is the root of success in any business. 

Align With Company Values: Company Culture

Each of the projects you complete and the portfolio you build represents who you are and what mark you want to make in the industry. As you use what you’ve built to represent yourself, this is a great way to see if your interests and passions reflect the company you hope to become a part of. 

Often in software, the company culture is not discussed. Yet, company culture is the foundation for self-growth and test what kind of environment you’ll be honing your craft in. This should be a key element in your job search. 

ISU Corp’s pillars are business empowerment and innovation. This is at the center of how strong software professionals are molded. Business empowerment trickles down to employees as they are the root of how any business thrives. If the employees are empowered, they are able to explore and use their creativity to create and engineer groundbreaking software. In order to stay ahead of the curve, we keep innovation at the center of what we do. 

ISU Corp: Our Pride in Our People 

Our keys to sustained happiness are gratitude, growth, and contribution. The software industry will thrive when the environment focuses on growth and appreciating all contributions. Among our team, we count on experienced systems architects, project managers, software developers, quality assurance/business analysts, graphic designers (UI-UX), and supporting administrative staff.

The Role of Mobile Development in Your Business

What Do You Use To Search? 

When completing our everyday tasks and need to search for the nearest or best place, company, and more, we are usually using our phones. Our phones and mobile devices are easy, readily available, and likely already in our hands when we want to look for some information. According to the Mobile percentage of website traffic, over 50 percent of all global web traffic is mobile users. This entirely aligns with what we see on a daily basis - when someone is walking down the street, they never have a laptop in their hands, instead, they are typing away on their mobile devices. 

Setting Yourself Up for Success and Growth 

Recognizing the reliance people have on their mobile devices is the first step to ensuring your business is able to well serve your existing clients and able to reach new customers. Transitioning your business into being a front-runner on mobile devices can increase your market visibility and increase your organization’s level of quality. After making a simple search on Google, having your business among the top results will be incredible for recognition among your target audience. Now is the best time to start making sure your business is going to stand alone from its competitors, making a name for yourself through mobile compatibility is essential. 

Put Your Trust In Reliable IT Support

When someone sees your company pop up while searching, this is your chance to capture their attention and make an impression. Why would they be drawn to you compared to the crowd of competition? First impressions are important. To ensure a smooth product launch and a high level of customer satisfaction, you should rely on a trusted provider of cross-platform development.
