Technology, for most people, is a glitzy gadget loaded with features that one may never use. The perception of "high-end" or "premium" in many cases is derived from price points rather than intrinsic value.
At Geneva, we define technology to be cutting edge if the intrinsic value of the offering far exceeds the perceived value. Typically, a product is stripped to its bare minimum minus its packaging and minus its promotional value, and is evaluated for the explicit benefit a customer would receive if she used the product. This in essence forms a corroboration of the product requirements which went into shaping the product.
Technology is said to be sufficiently cutting edge if it drives scale, has multiple core features and prevents pricepoint alienation. All product offerings of Geneva Software go through this rigorous definition of technology as an enabler and reach the consumer in a form that is easy on the eye and easy on the hand. Our customers always return assured that our core technology will enable us to create products in future that share the same lineage but possibly address different market needs.
