iRise for IBM® Lotus™ Connections is a pre-configured set of visualization templates that gives organizations a unique way to visualize new community and social networking applications based on IBM Lotus portal and social stack solutions.  By visualizing before building, organizations can dramatically cut implementation time and delivery cost of the resulting solution. 

Jointly developed by iRise and Ascendant Technology, iRise for IBM Lotus Connections offers a visualization toolkit of generalized IBM Lotus solution-based page templates, masters and styles used to accelerate
the assembly of high-fidelity, working simulations of proposed social networking applications. 

Starting with a library of pre-configured content and by leveraging the power of iRise Studio, business analysts can bring together a working preview of proposed solutions in a fraction of the time it would take to generate paper specification documents or build coded prototypes.  Business stakeholders can ‘test drive’ the visualizations on their own or in collaborative meetings that directly involve subject matter experts.  Comments can be logged and acted upon quickly, speeding consensus and eliminating confusion on business requirements.
