CIO Magazine: FedEx Speeds Delivery with iRise
FedEx's use of visualization software helps company staffers collaborate more concisely on new software features for online customers
|
|
|
 CIO magazine recently published a great article about how Rob Carter, global CIO at FedEx, has driven accelerated application delivery by making a strategic bet on visualization from iRise. From the article:
"The real story that lurks out there, plaguing every CIO, is the complexity of it all," Carter says. "How can we introduce things faster? How do we enable a business to move more quickly? That's where we can create the most value." The ability to dynamically and visually show what a developing product will look like generates "a lot of excitement and speed in the front-end processes," the CIO adds. "That's the primary time when you're working with business."
To help members of the project team collaborate on the look-and-feel and workflow of the online service, the group began using visualization software from iRise. The visualization tools enabled members of fedex.com's design team to simulate what a new software feature might look like before introducing it to customers. They can also use the software to brainstorm with their peers in sales and marketing on any iterations that might be needed before a new service or capability is rolled out to fedex.com, says Tamara Payne, vice president of IT for the Memphis-based logistics giant.
