iRise On-Demand for Trials is First Solution Unveiled

iRise Labs is a vehicle for concept testing ideas, launching early stage products and solutions, and rapidly iterating and evolving them based on research and direct customer feedback. The first iRise Labs offering is a hosted version of the iRise Definition Center for those that want to quickly assemble and collaborate globally on working visualizations of software applications without the delay or dependency of having to procure server hardware and install server software during the pre-sales evaluation period.

"The mission of iRise Labs is to foster innovation by providing an agile environment that gets products from the Labs and into the hands of customers quickly. As a window into ideas for products and services we're working on, it's a prime opportunity for our community to weigh in and help shape future offerings," said Maurice Martin, President, Chief Operating Officer and founder of iRise.

 
Announcement
Fusion '08 iRise User Conference Postponed

Due to feedback from many of our customers that travel budgets are getting severely limited, iRise has decided to postpone the user conference. We are currently looking at alternate dates and formats for 2009 that would make the event more accessible and still deliver on the world-class content we’ve experienced in the past. Stay tuned for more details.
