iRise and OneSpring Announce Support for Visualization of Apple iPhone Applications: Visualization Templates Speed Time to Market and Improve Custo
LAS VEGAS (Business Wire EON) April 29, 2008 -- Visualizing software before you build is now a proven strategy for speeding time to delivery, cutting project costs and dramatically improving customer experience for business-critical applications of all kinds. For the first time, visualization is now available for a new generation of high fidelity mobile applications, setting the stage for explosive growth of powerful, customer friendly, "on-the-go" software.
"Delivering the perfect customer experience will be essential for the new breed of applications now appearing for the iPhone," stated Maurice Martin, president, chief operating officer and founder of iRise. "Using visualization to test application interfaces directly with consumers before any development just makes sense; applications get delivered faster, with huge confidence that consumers will have fun and adopt the final result."
iRise application visualization templates for the iPhone are also available from OneSpring, an iRise alliances partner based in Atlanta, GA, which developed the capability in order to prototype a set of e-commerce applications for a client. The OneSpring iPhone SimDK for iRise is a complete toolkit for the design of custom iPhone applications. It offers a template guide that matches the form factor of the iPhone to help ensure designs can be accurately reproduced with the Apple SDK. The OneSpring iPhone SimDK for iRise toolkit includes:
-- iPhone iDoc template with guides;
-- Menu icons w/ buttons;
-- Custom button template;
-- Slider and button action behaviors; and,
-- Multi-touch actions.
"We think the iPhone will revolutionize mobile e-commerce," said Scott McDowell, founder of OneSpring. "Mobile consumers want a full range of e-commerce options available, with all the bells, whistles and performance of a traditional Internet experience. The iPhone makes this vision a reality, but that raises challenges in customer experience and time to market. Being able to quickly visualize with iRise and OneSpring templates before you build solves those challenges in a simple, elegant way."
The stakes are high. Much of the billions spent every year on software development is at risk with delays, cost overruns, missing features, cancellations and poor customer experience - all because text-based requirement specifications are difficult to read and easy to misunderstand. Global sourcing brings these issues into even sharper focus, as both integrators and their clients struggle to communicate effectively and deliver expected efficiency gains.
iRise offers a simple and effective solution to these problems - a collaborative software platform that enables businesses to quickly visualize and "test market" applications before a single line of code is written. For the first time, business people can understand for themselves what they need, and then communicate that knowledge to others using visual models that replicate the exact look, feel and behavior of the final product, taking the guesswork out of application definition. Just as computer-aided design (CAD) tools transformed the automotive, aerospace and semiconductor industries iRise is now transforming the global business application market.
With thousands of projects completed successfully, the value of visualization has proven to be enormous for businesses in highly competitive markets:
-- Get to market twice as fast;
-- Eliminate 30% of project costs;
-- Ensure success of global sourcing strategies; and,
-- Improve customer experience.
