How Automating Software Development Tasks with Ottia Helps Your Team Focus on Product Innovation

The competitive advantage comes from continuously innovating, effectively using customer feedback, and enhancing user experience. However, many software companies struggle when their in-house development team becomes overwhelmed with routine coding tasks, leaving insufficient time to focus on product strategy, innovation, and core business activities—such as capturing and analyzing user feedback, refining product roadmaps, and improving customer interaction.

Ottia solves this issue by automating your coding and software implementation needs. This automation allows your internal teams to devote more attention to the company's core strengths and ensures maximum productivity and efficiency.

In this article, we'll explain clearly what we mean by "core" and "non-core" activities, demonstrate how Ottia’s automation saves time and resources, and show precisely how delegating development tasks allows your team to innovate faster and enhance your competitive edge.

What are Core Tasks for Software Product Companies?

Core tasks are activities directly linked to your company's unique value proposition and product strategy. They are closely related to the strategic direction of your business. These tasks usually involve decision-making that impacts product direction, growth, user satisfaction, and profitability. For a software product company, core tasks typically include:

- Defining the product vision and developing the strategic product roadmap  

- Gathering and analyzing customer or user feedback  

- Product design and user experience (UX/UI) innovations  

- Understanding user needs and prioritizing features accordingly  

- Market research and competitive analysis  

- Evaluating product performance and implementing improvements  

‍

These tasks shape the core identity of your product, influence its market position, and ultimately determine customer satisfaction and business success.

‍

What are Non-Core Tasks for a Software Product Company?

Non-core tasks are vital day-to-day activities that, although essential to your operations, aren't contributing directly to your strategic vision or distinct competitive advantage. For most software product companies, these include repetitive coding and implementation responsibilities such as:

- Software coding based on provided specifications and designs  

- Identifying and fixing application bugs  

- Regular updates and software maintenance  

- Implementing new features based upon predefined requirements  

- Addressing technical support issues like connection disruptions or compatibility problems  

‍

While these tasks are undoubtedly important, they do not typically leverage your internal team's strategic insight or product vision capabilities, and instead consume much of your team's valuable resources and time.

Benefits of Automating Your Non-Core Tasks with Ottia  

By partnering with Ottia to automate these routine coding tasks, your business immediately gains several important advantages:

Improved Focus on Product Innovation  

In-house development teams frequently struggle with balancing product-focused activities against routine task loads like bug fixes, troubleshooting, and basic coding. When your internal software developers spend significant time handling these everyday implementation details, they have less time and mental bandwidth for creative problem-solving, user experience enhancements, and innovation.

Ottia's automation services handle these coding and implementation tasks efficiently and reliably, freeing your experienced and knowledgeable teams to fully engage in key strategic responsibilities. As a result, your company can better direct innovation and product enhancement, helping to differentiate you clearly and positively from competitors.

Higher Productivity for Your In-House Team  

By automating implementation-level concerns, internal employees gain the freedom to devote full attention to areas where they excel – shaping, refining, and improving your product. They can more effectively spend their time analyzing user feedback, increasing product engagement, and planning future improvements and releases.

This clear separation of responsibilities leads directly to higher staff productivity, efficiency improvements, and quicker product development cycles, continuously strengthening your business capabilities and market advantage.

Increased Employee Satisfaction and Motivation  

Highly skilled software professionals love challenging and innovative work. However, when required to perform routine implementation tasks repeatedly, your valued employees can quickly become demotivated or bored.

Entrusting software implementation and routine maintenance tasks to Ottia enables internal developers, product managers, and UX/UI designers to remain motivated through involvement in strategic, revenue-generating responsibilities. Happier and more satisfied employees are more likely to stay, innovate, collaborate effectively, and consistently contribute positively to the growth of the business.

Reduction in Overall Costs  

Hiring, training, and maintaining in-house engineers exclusively for routine or repetitive software implementation is expensive. Salaries, benefits, operational costs, additional office space, and equipment all represent significant ongoing expenses.

Through automation partnerships like Ottia, your company reduces these ongoing overheads considerably. Automating non-core tasks not only increases the effectiveness of your spending but also allows for better cost scalability as your business expands and grows its customer base.
