iRise Enterprise Edition

Real-Time Collaboration for Business Software Definition

Global collaboration with customers, employees, development teams and business owners is essential when defining software. Only iRise has the collaboration, security, integration and content capabilities that are required for enterprises who are serious about transforming their application definition process.

iRise Enterprise Edition (EE) has all the same powerful visualization authoring capabilities as iRise Professional Edition, with the additional features of team-based collaboration through the iRise Definition Center server and the ability to export visualizations into easily sharable iDoc files.

Additional capabilities in iRise Enterprise Edition include:

• Real-time, team-based collaboration for rapid authoring & reviewing iterations.
• Self-guided stakeholder guides allow business stakeholders to review and comment on simulations stored in a central server.
• Reusable definition assets can be stored on the server, speeding time to visualization and enforcing customer experience best practices.
• Powerful comments management functions collect and organize stakeholder reviews into easily manageable groups for visualization authors - a necessity for globally disperse stakeholder audiences.
• iConnect™ API jump starts downstream development by enabling visualization projects to be exported into XML format. This XML output can easily be converted - programmatically or using tools- into richly-formatted specification documents and spreadsheets, integrated into downstream development or quality tools.
• iBloc™ API for import of custom widgets and objects allows partners and customers to create custom user interface (UI) controls and behaviors that can be incorporated into visualizations and re-used across the enterprise, speeding time to visualization and enforcing best practices.
• iRise visualizations can be exported into self-contained files called iDocs that can be shared over email, enabling unparalleled distributed stakeholder feedback, which is captured and collected in a convenient form on the server for definition teams.
• Reusable iRise content modules can be created, license protected and distributed. The iRise Definition Center supports the distribution of third-party pre-packaged and licensed visualization content. The intellectual property contained within visualizations can be protected and licensed to a specific Definition Center and can only be modified by a set of authorized iRise Studio users.
• Facilitated multi-user usability tests are possible with a centralized server that captures multiple stakeholder feedback at the same time.
• Check-in/Check-out for disconnected authoring lets modeling and prototyping activity to continue without pause without network connections.
• Secure access to critical intellectual property through LDAP enabled user authentication is supported for "enterprise grade" organizations.
• Integrations with IBM Rational Requisite Pro and Requirements Composer
• Centralized administration of users, groups, projects through an intuitive administrative user interface
