How Brown Uses iRise
A new article by Heather Havenstein about how UPS is bolstering their web application development with iRise came out in Computerworld.com yesterday. The article summarizes how UPS has overhauled it process of designing user interfaces for all of their new and upgraded web applications.
This story is not new to anyone who attended Fusion ‘07 last year as Guy Hamblen was one of the our featured speakers. In fact, you can read the blog post and listen to Guy’s presentation from this October iRise blog post.
Here are some new quotes from Guy:
- “The biggest challenge that an application development team has is eliciting the correct requirements at the beginning of the development effort”
- “By modeling the user interface in the requirements phase, the design team can be sure that it knows exactly what the user wants because it has used a simulated version”
- “That allowed us to improve our time to market with application-development releases. That is the fundamental business driver that iRise enabled for us”
