Visualize: The software visualization newsletter


iRise Professional Edition Released

iRise PE allows the individual definition professional to leverage powerful visualization techniques
iRise Professional Edition is a single user, standalone visualization authoring tool. Individual business analysts, interface designers and project managers can leverage powerful visualization techniques already in use by hundreds of corporate customers to get business critical software projects to market faster, with less cost and risk.

Semi-technical definition professionals use iRise Professional Edition to quickly simulate the workflow and basic behavior of proposed business applications by meeting directly with stakeholders in interactive requirements gathering sessions and rapidly iterating to a common agreement on business needs. Once these needs are captured in iRise, a high fidelity version of the simulation can be quickly created and shared with stakeholders through face-to-face or online meetings, where final feedback can be gathered and acted on.

iRise Professional Edition is available for $6,995 per user. Download the free 30-day trial and visit the iRise Media Center for tips and tricks to get started.

Customer Spotlight
iRise Labs

ePrize has chosen iRise to visualize promotions it creates and manages for global companies. By mocking up the concepts in high fidelity and iterating solutions from there, ePrize is able to present clients with a life-like representation of what the promotion will really look like before going through the expense of coding the final version.

For each client, ePrize develops custom concepts and quickly iterates to a solution which best matches the client's needs, be it an advergame, sweepstakes or other promotion type.

""We chose iRise because of its sophistication and ease of use. In terms of overall project scope, we've experienced an improvement in time savings of 25%, in addition to the bigger benefit of eliminating rework, confusion and ambiguity. Our clients couldn't be more impressed and it's all because we can quickly simulate in iRise." " said Drew Bennett, senior vice president of product development at ePrize.
