If you are working in the IT industry anywhere in the world then, you must have heard about the terms product based, service based companies, which one is the best and a whole lot other point of view . But the thing is that though all the information been provided is correct, you needs to find which one would be better for ‘You’ because everyone’s priority at every stage of life is different as for somebody work satisfaction, for some distance, for some money etc.. So, I am here to discuss all the factor in depth so that spending these 2-3 minutes you will be able to take better decision. So Let's get starting into it...
What are Product Based and Service based Companies and what are their differences?
Product Based Companies have their own product which could be anything like software or website or application. They keep on working and maintaining their products for ages according to the needs of people as time changes. Here Product Analyst will do market research and collect the requirement and then based on market research data they will develop their product. Product Based Companies are handled by an idea to help different customers. Here the main focus is what should i do to make my product better.
For an example Amazon. When Amazon launched way back in 1995, the company's whole purpose was selling book. But Today, it's a mega-company that sells hundreds of millions of products, makes its own tablets and phones.
Service Based Companies on the other hand directly deals with a client and build a
software/app/website for them. Here client gives the requirement, Business Analyst will be present and he will collect the requirement from client and based on the requirement they will develop the software or website or application. Here company will develop and test the software and give it back to client. Here company can not sell same software to different client.
For an example Bank owner comes up to Infosys to build a banking website for them and Infosys design, develop the site for them. Then, Infosys will also provide service to them.
