The products of NetSol, Inc. were Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Suite
including Proposal Management System (PMS), NetSol Wholesale Finance
System (WFS), Settlement Management System (SMS) and Contract
Management System (CMS). The company has its own windows and ePOS
(browser based point of sale system). The company gained ISO 9001
certification in 1998. Its revenues were US $7 million in year 2000. After the
crash of NASDAQ in the middle of 2000, NetSol Inc. with other industrial
giants (other software companies like Yahoo, IBM etc.) declined profits and
values of its shares. The company would take time to recess out from
declination.
4. Unrealistic Deadlines
Any software company has to meet deadlines. Clients gave deadlines
to software companies. They did not understand the whole process of
software development cycle. However, software developer team had
to face unrealistic deadlines which are caused due to client
requirements (amendments) in later stages of software development,
unclear understanding of project development cycle. If the company
doesn’t meet deadlines, the clients may select other vendor. So, there
was a major problem of unrealistic deadlines given by clients in the job
nature of software development.
8.Training
Some employees are assigned those projects on which they never had
worked in the past so there is a need for training on particular
development tool and frustration about tasks could be decreased.
9.Encouragement/Motivation
Motivational issue is also important because when you encourage
some one to do its work effectively then any one can do its work on
the time and in proper way within the due dates. But in Netsol, Inc.
there were no encouraging and motivational activities performed, so
due to this reason many of workers and employees even though staff
including programmers were not happy to the organization and the
main drawback of this weakness was that many of programmers,
employees and workers had left the organization and demanded for
increasing their salary packages otherwise they would not work in
organization further.
Solutions of Issues
1. There should be friendly and cooperative environment which removes
misunderstanding and communication gap and more personal
relationship would develop because employees from different
institutions are hired and they have different preferences, interests
and culture.
2. The company (NetSol (Pvt.) Ltd. Pakistan) should provide the work life
balance to developers so that neither they are demotivated nor they
tire from work at the end of the projects.
3. NetSol, Inc. should employ the resources according to job
specifications matching their job descriptions. This will reduce
turnover.
4. It is the duty of marketing department to deal with the clients about
the estimated duration for software development and after
negotiation, they both set the deadline. In this process, a consultation
service will consult on realistic deadlines with development team
(software engineers and developers). This can be easy to complete the
task in a specified duration and work life balance of employees would
be maintained.
5. Project managers with both technical and managerial talent should
also be in NetSol, Inc. Pakistan so that challenges regarding the
demands of employees would be handled.
6. Updated / new technology should be provided in NetSol, Inc. and
training should be conducted for those who really need it.
7. Employees should be motivated by rewarding them on equity bases,
and through justified, unbiased performance appraisal.
8. Employees should be treated equally, and on the basis of
performance, and hiring should be unbiased.
9. Young potential should be motivated so that they do not leave the
organization.
Conclusion
The job of software development is difficult and more dependent on team
work. Success of any software development project in on managing human
resources properly. The management should do steps to develop more
effective team work and increase its contribution in software development
by providing environment in which they motivate fully to work.
