The Need

Software applications are abstract entities that do not exist in a material form. Communicating and sharing the concept of a new software product with words alone is an inefficient approach that relies on personal interpretation and shared experience.

The Solution

A picture is worth a thousand words. Prototypes help communicate efficiently the functionality and user experience of proposed application. This helps to convey the value to others, to validate the proposed design and to align stakeholders on the vision for the product. Scio provides services for the development of progressively more accurate prototypes:

• Low definition wireframes
• High-def "static" click-through web prototypes
• Functional Proof of Concept

Our Approach

We work with you to define the type and extent of prototyping that needs to be done, depending on the stage of the project and the purpose of the prototype. Our team helps to "tell the story" with storyboards and customer-driven scenarios. We bring in our expertise in user experience optimization to propose user-friendly, intuitive designs that leverage the latest front-end technologies, such as AJAX, Flex or Silverlight

Key Value-Added Elements

Our product prototyping services leverage our expertise in Rapid Application Prototyping tools and frameworks. Our designers are experts in the fields of user interaction and user experience design and their skills drive the development of our design proposals. We bring infrastructure to deploy and host prototypes for review and demonstration to your team.
