Software Design
We are Good at Moving Ideas into Software
Our design process creates visual specifications linking requirements to user behaviors. We then move quickly into rapid agile development. Typically, we move from design to development within weeks, and to a marketing beta product within a few short months. By getting to beta quickly, the application becomes shaped by practical customer use early on. This technique increases adoption and sales by adapting to what the market wants.
What Makes Us Good at Software Design?
Our method works out design from a perspective of the users of the software. This single approach is the most important element in helping software to be successful in its finished state.
In particular, our design team specializes in new software innovations. With our business background and our depth of experience in real-world software startups, we understand exactly how to get an idea up and running fast, in useable chunks, and test market response, integrating necessary changes that increases adoption rates dramatically. Our design work focuses on teasing out the full business purpose of the software while coupling with latest design and development techniques to achieve tremendous speed-to-market capabilities.
Bringing Something New to Market?
For those who are trying to take new ideas to market, we provide a service that could be invaluable. We look at an end-to-end perspective and hold a mirror up for you to answer some hard questions. Being able to address these questions prepares you to take your product into the market. Our team includes talent who have successfully developed new markets for beta users and early adopters.
Sometimes developing software is not the right answer. In today’s market there are a number of applications that can be adopted to the organization, and in many cases for free. We specialize in helping organizations solve problems, and not necessarily by developing new tools, but by integrating tools and software that already exists. Adopting existing software requires skills and capabilities that are often overlooked. In fact, traditional costs for an enterprise-wide application is usually only a third of the total cost. As much as 2/3rds of the cost to complete the project goes to cover professional services, consultants, and training. Our services aid our clients in finding the right application, framing the right implementation, and setting up the lifecycle of the application for high adoptability, ease in supportability, and sustainability.
From Large ERP to Common Off the Shelf
Our experience ranges from working with large ERP implementations to small off-the-shelf application selection. What makes us unique is that our software, application, and business process experience also comes with an intense amount of information technology infrastructure experience. From building data centers from scratch, to moving large data centers without a single outage, to creating complex disaster recovery solutions, to managing end-to-end infrastructure that withstands over 1000 changes a year in order to meet business demands, we have important experience in the tasks and responsibilities of infrastructure management.
