Evoco Accelerates Time to Market for New Software with iRise
Enterprise visualization adopted to deliver new software solutions faster, with less rework
EL SEGUNDO, CA - August 25, 2009 - iRise®, the world's leading enterprise visualization solutions company today announced that Evoco Inc., one of Canada's fastest growing companies and a leading provider of project management software solutions for construction and facilities management, is now using iRise visualization to speed up the design and delivery of next generation products. By visualizing and testing new solutions with iRise early in the process, Evoco expects a significant drop in project cost and accelerated time to market.
"Our investment in iRise has paid back multiple times over," stated Brian Reimer, Vice President of Product Management & Design for Evoco. "iRise has made it easier for our team to ensure a common vision for our solutions, validate market requirements early in the process and improve usability."
Evoco's flagship product is Evoco Workspace, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution used by more than 25,000 people worldwide to manage more than 29,000 construction and facility projects. As with most Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), getting new capabilities delivered to market quickly is mission-critical to Evoco.
The product management and design teams at Evoco have now adopted iRise visualizations as a standard in the product definition process. iRise visualizations mimic the look, feel and behavior of new product capabilities, which can be tested directly with Evoco customers before any coding to ensure that customer needs will be met. The completed visualizations then guide the development team in what to build, which streamlines communication and development effort.
"Our goal is to create transparency between R&D and the rest of our business," continued Mr. Reimer. "iRise provides a powerful platform for engaging all parts of our business in a collaborative partnership focused on delivering new product capabilities quickly."
"Evoco is part of a growing movement to standardize on enterprise visualization for product definition," said Mitch Bishop, CMO at iRise. "Product management teams at ISVs can leverage visual models to get everyone on the same page faster. And engineering organizations can drive greater efficiency knowing that what they are building is exactly what's needed by the business."

About iRise
