IT’s Still All About Fashion
Arriving fashionably late but in time to make a fresh statement
By: Camille Jacks
Fashion is about being of the moment. Certainly the great pains it takes to create not just clothing but a work of art is no stranger to the same would be evolution of information technologies and software development.
As we begin pulling out of our economic slump the Arts and Entertainment Industries are applying their well placed creativity to benefit from previously misunderstood and underestimated technology.
High-end e-commerce software like Microsoft’s Commerce Server and Amazon.com web service enabling Online Storefronts are working to bring together the concepts of eCommerce applications and virtual malls to re-stimulate and inspire creative services.
New possibilities are opening doors and bringing the technology industry together with the Arts. The relationship may only be regarded as a sort of kismet. Bringing art and science together to improve them both for the world to benefit. Customers visiting and participating in mCommerce or Virtual Storefronts can easily recognize the fun and enthusiasm that enables this convenience by delivering sales, deals, and unique finds directly to them 24/7 internationally.
Considering what the future will bring may only inspire the imagination. One day in the future enjoying a virtual day of shopping on the Champs-Elysées from the comfort of your home or office in half the time, designers, able to parallel season’s shows and releases with virtual auctions and runways so that visitors may create their own pieces for special order in real time.
The possibilities increase the more the client base becomes creative with their demands, illustrating one of the first advancements apparent since the millennium. This is also good for independent software development firms that were struggling to stay afloat in recent times. The reason being is that the customized requirements and one-on-one attention independent development firms have to offer is something that clients in fashion and entertainment require.
One Los Angeles based software development firm Amulet Development Corp. is one of the re-invented small businesses that have found new life and excitement by servicing the fashion and entertainment industry. “It is not just about the work or staying business at this point, it’s about putting good technology to creative use in such a way as everyone benefits. That was the point all along and we are glad to be one of firms able to grow in this direction. The only thing better than doing what you love is to find inspiration while doing what you love. It is a completely different kind of reward. One that we are really excited about.” – CEO Dan Gutierrez
The connection to bringing the newest and best technologies to the Arts, Entertainment, Fashion, and Apparel would be illustrating the benefit of these solutions while, stimulating the economy and really giving people a reason to get excited about these new services.
The customer benefits the most from these types of eBusiness initiatives because of the: ease of price comparison, the availability of resources, the obvious and overt step up for everyday interests, and being able to shop by brand or outlet for specific items. Yet again, giving the consumer the highest priority in providing the most purchasing and information opportunities to date.
Likewise these applications and the buzz that surrounds them can only inspire engineers and developers to continue to create worthwhile technologies that encourage consumer interest and benefit in the new eConomy.
