Rapid Prototyping
Challenge
A new product idea... New promising technology... A lucrative third-party package you want to integrate with ... There is a whole world of situations when you need a proof-of-concept before your invest into something large, and you need it fast.
DataArt's method
Today, with scores of analysts and consultants armed with modern technology, the famous 20-80 principle is as valid as ever. It still takes 20% of time to get 80% of the functionality developed, and 80% of time to crack the remaining 20%.
When speaking with clients about our Rapid Prototyping services, we see that many don't have the luxury of those first 20% of time. One needs to assess the project's precise value much faster.
DataArt has the experience, tools and methodology to quickly analyze the idea and rapidly produce a prototype or a proof-of-concept, which allows to scope out the project together with the client. This capability is a result of a investing time internally and working with clients who at times change business goals or don't provide project specifications.
- DataArt extensively uses Visual Construction/Programming toolsets to produce presentable and functioning models;
- DataArt's utilizes existing 'plug-n-play' frameworks for most standard software components, including:
- User Interface
- Security and authentication
- Database record management
- Workflow
- Rich content management
- Focus. When something is needed fast, you have to be extremely focused yet free to experiment. If the communications and task management are properly set up, the freedom helps a great deal;
- It's exciting to work on rapid prototyping projects! You accomplish tremendous results in a short period of time (and don't have to worry about debugging for now)!
DataArt's resources
People
DataArt's Rapid Prototyping team is comprised of software veterans who have not lost their energy for the complex challenges. They don't fear the impossible, and their creativity and years of tests-and-checks is a perfect match for the task.
Technology
Choosing the right technology set for the prototype is important. Sometimes you face tough decisions, when you realize that none of the prototypes will be used in the actual product. Yet it's better to have a prototype prepare the grounds for the big journey. We work with clients to select the best options based on a range of criteria.
