It is no longer enough for your company to outperform its competitors by embracing narrowly focused business initiatives. Today’s most ambitious companies understand the importance of improving all of the line items that influence corporate profitability. They want to grow revenues, slash costs, increase productivity, and shrink inventory. Leading product makers understand that the best way to realize these objectives is to view their product lifecycle in its entirety. They want to treat the product lifecycle as a tangible asset that can be unified, monitored, managed, improved and above all short development cycle. They want to eliminate the barriers that arise as geographic, organizational, and technical issues that increases the time to market their product.

In this fast paced business world, it is imperative to cater the needs of people through development of services and products at a much faster speed. There are certain ways which organisations can adopt to produce products/services and reduce their time to market, increase productivity and revenues for themselves. Two recommended approach would be (1) to work in agile environment and (2) outsource the product components to a vendor for parallel development. It is important for an organisation to choose the outsourcing vendors who works in agile fashion too so that it understands and meet their expectations.

There are number of agile methodology which can be adopted, however, every methodology has two basic concepts Iteration i.e. Release Often and Continuous Integration. These concepts fits absolutely to product environment as products evolve over period of time following customer’s feedback, opinions, suggestions and surveys. They need lot of iterations to mature. Requirement becomes more clear and concise with each iteration. With such iterations, customers get what they want within smaller periods.

XHTML pages are more likely to work on mobile devices and a wider variety of browsers, than the usual HTML 4.01 web pages. XHTML formatting also helps screen readers and browsers be more friendly for the visually impaired, as with it you can add aids for them. XHTML is almost like the HTML 4.01 Strict version, only better adapted to future enhancements also.

Also, unlike current HTML implementations, XHTML can be extended to include new presentation elements. You could add new extensions like mathematical formulas and graphics. It can also allow the developers to pick and choose the desired language features, which the designer/client wishes to support for multiple browsers or mobile devices and readers (these include readers like Kindle, iPad, etc.). Along with this, the XML content also makes it compatible with existing software that already uses and can understand XML. As XML is a language which was created for data to be stored and then transformed to a format which can be easily accessed, so it is easier to get data created using XML to be transformed into valid XHTML (as they you can transform XML to XHTML). This data can then be shown on any available device with a browser. Another advantage is that it can be easily used with CSS for presentation.

So it is always a better idea to use XHTML for the work you do in creating HTML documents. This makes it future proof and will work well across almost all browsers and devices like mobile and readers.
