Decideware, supplier performance management experts announced today it adopted iRise to visualize clients' new products and solutions as a strategy to deliver faster, with zero rework and wasted effort.
"Software companies need to be incredibly responsive to customers and new market opportunities," stated Richard Benyon, CEO of Decideware. "iRise has helped us eliminate 50% of the cost and time it used to take us to deliver new products to market."
Decideware offers a SaaS solution that helps Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) and Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) evaluate the performance of their key suppliers like advertising agencies and materials partners. One of the world's largest consumer brands approached Decideware for help in building a custom module that would address scope of work management for the company. Decideware product mangers used iRise to build a complete visualization of the new module and reviewed the design with business owners at the company in interactive stakeholder sessions. The review meetings quickly caught missing requirements that would have resulted in expensive late stage rework. The final visualization was then used by the development team at Decideware to deliver the custom module on time and with zero rework.
Mr. Benyon continued: "Our customers have raved about our ability to help us paint a picture of new capabilities that exactly meet their business needs. Because of this success, iRise is now mandated on all new product design and customization projects at Decideware."
Software companies are quickly moving to visualization as a strategy to improve customer responsiveness and speed up the delivery of innovative new products," said Mitch Bishop, CMO at iRise. "Collaborative engagement with customers, engineering, sales and product management through the use of fully immersive visualizations just makes sense and is now a proven method to deliver better products."
