What if you could make end users happy and boost developer productivity at the same time? Guido Sacchi, the CIO of $948-million CompuCredit Corp., a financial services company in Atlanta, did just that. He wanted to show users how an application would look before developers invested programming time. So he tried out so-called requirements visualization tools, which let developers simulate the look of an application before writing any code.
After evaluating offerings from Axure Software Solutions, iRise and Serena Software, he chose iRise because of its intuitiveness. Sacchi says that after implementing the product in early 2005, average application development time has decreased as much as 35% -- nearly a month. "We've eliminated a lot of the rework on the back end because requirements are defined right," he says.
