SOFTWARE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
- Our ability to build products that not only work, but
that do the right thing, is more important than ever.
Design and Development Services
- We know that finished products are the object
of the entire design, architect and build process, and we can manage and implement
across the entire cycle. Global partners give us the leverage to undertake projects
of any size in an extremely cost effective manner. Here
are some of the ways our strengths go to work for you:
-
Increase your internal productivity by bringing in our .NET or J2EE agile development
experts as mentors
-
Quickly locate hard to find skillsets and assemble teams with unique combinations
of skills.
-
Ensure that what you build fulfills requirements, so you only have to build it once
-
Reduce cost and accelerate delivery by using our EC Wise Outsourcing global team
-
Convert database development from a brake to an accelerator
-
Our design skills and creativity jump-start your projects.
- Sometimes you need help with the first step,
imagination. In a moment of inspiration, coming up with an idea for a new or expanded
product or service seems like an easy thing, but in many cases, it can be very difficult.
Fleshing out the initial concept with a set of specific features that resonate with
the planned audience can be a major challenge. EC Wise
has vast experience identifying product opportunities, imagining product solutions,
and specifying the features that will make the product successful. As a team, we
offer an ideal blend of the skills required to conceive and specify products: creative
design, market segmentation and validation, business and user analysis, information
architecture, object oriented design, requirements management, and more.

Our Agile approach effectively gathers and manages requirements.
- Doing six months of analysis before starting
implementation is just not acceptable today. Can light methods incorporate all the
needed requirements, specification and design efforts without becoming heavy and
slow? We use stories and scenarios as the launch point
for creating both structured use cases. These use cases provide the basis for acceptance
testing, and visual representations of potential solutions. Presenting solution
options visually enables us to validate requirements as well as user interface models.
We have built our own internal tools that allow us to capture and record information
about features, scenarios, and use cases, and link them to the associated visual
representations.

Our testing and prototyping skills help avoid expensive development misfires.
- Our designers' deep technology experience
allows them to understand the inevitable tradeoffs between user desires and feasability.
High-fidelity prototypes can provide convincing product or service demonstrations
to key stakeholders early in the development process. Screen designs, paper prototypes,
and semi- or partially-interactive prototypes can accelerate decision-making and
increase confidence in the design directions being pursued.
- In addition to collaborating on new product
and service initiatives, many clients ask us to review their existing products and
services. Our experts analyze feature mix and user interface capabilities in view
of industry standards, target population objectives, and existing market conditions.

Our database expertise simplifies your life.
- Nearly every piece of software we have designed
or built, either as part of the EC Wise team or earlier in our careers, has involved
data. Understanding data, how it's organized vs. how people perceive its organization,
how it relates to the applications that manipulate it, and how to use it to gain
insights. This background enables us to develop applications that provide the rich
user experience that makes our work rewarding.

Our efficient use of resources enhances your ROI.
- We know that cost is the driving factor
in deciding to outsource development. We deliver development
projects at low cost AND high return on investment. EC Wise can undertake outsourced
development projects at very low cost because:
- Our experts have probably done something similar work before, and if they have not,
they are exceedingly good at quickly designing a solution;
- If there's a large production requirement, our Chengdu, Sichuan, China Engineering
Team combined with our US Team can offer very competitive blended rates;
- We have a very established and highly trained relationship between our stateside
and offshore teams;
- We have built software tools that enable distributed design and development teams
to work together effectively.
