Unfortunately, managers often don't consider usability until near
the end of a development cycle. At that point, our expert reviews
and usability testing can identify important problems and propose
solutions, but too often there's no time or resources to make the
needed fixes. Managers are confronted with an unappealing decision:
ship late and over-budget, or ship a product that its users don't
want, don't like, or can't use. The decision is especially painful
when they realize how much time they've spent working on features
that users didn't actually need.
If you want to avoid these problems by thinking ahead and including
usability in your product planning process, Interfacile's expertise
can be of great value to you. With our expertise in user-centered
design, we'll help you identify the capabilities and features that
will be most appealing and useful to your intended audience, and
avoid the "featuritis" that results in slipped schedules and unusable
products. We'll identify opportunities for you to use usability
as a competitive advantage that can reduce support costs, increase
customer retention, and enhance productivity. We can propose innovative
but simple solutions to complex interface design problems, resulting
in products that are a pleasure to use -- and sell.
Whether you're delivering a system for your own company's use or
hoping for a broad audience of consumers, you should be thinking
about usability early and often. Interfacile will show you how.
