Listening
The features that have been developed for this specific Portfolio Control variety are focused on the practical aspects of a stock portfolio by either professionals of the stock exchange or amateurs of stock brokerage.
Let's go technical there. We started from pure customer requirements, taken from the horse's mouth, and applied our Consulting skills to design a user interface which would do what our customers wanted.
Our knowledge of Stock Exchange, shares is what you would call average. But we design software, and like all consultants we are able to understand our customers' needs and trade. This is the strength of Consulting: we know how to listen, how to learn, and how to do our homework.
So the implementation of this variety of Portfolio Control was created and we learned a lot of things about what Stock Brokers really need, which is obviously covered in everyday language "they know everything about shares, what to buy or sell and when".
These few words cover a reality which is about as complex as the technical side of programming "they tell the computer what it needs to do with the data".
Portfolio Control is at the end of the day the close partnership which is at the heart of IT Consulting: professionals who put their skills at the service of other professionals with the only knowledge they have for sure: the other guy's job is as complex and as detailed as theirs.
And the key to all this is in the ears. In communication, in the desire to learn and the willingness to accept that your success lies in your ability to understand what the other person needs.
