Prototype and Learn
Before beginning the full development of your solution, create use cases that
inform wireframes and visual designs. it is important to optimize for velocity
and capture relevant learning into each step of the process.
• Design UIs for onboarding, first-time-use, critical path(s), visualized data
view and other meaningful workflows.
Measure
Validate internally and test externally through a focus on quick and frequent
feedback from client and internal team members.
• Create multiple versions of clickable prototypes for user feedback.
• Test user interaction continuously to optimize engagement.
Your customers hold the key to digital innovation success. The best companies
don’t over-market or rely on hard-sell tactics or promotions to drive adoption.
Instead, they integrate XD to deliver extraordinary experiences for their customers and get rewarded with loyalty and affinity.
3. Accelerate Time to Value with Pre-built Components
and Approaches
It is well known that the least expensive function to write and maintain is the
one reused from another tried and tested project. As discussed in the first
principle (starting with a solid cloud foundation), the hyper-scale cloud vendors provide many pre-built services that can be used to accelerate time to
market. There are other ways to accelerate time to value through the use of
pre-existing functionality.
Code frameworks, open source components and a community of third-party
tools and solutions are all available to make it easier to focus on coding the
functions that truly matter and that support the user experience defined in the
second principle (making experience design the focus).
At CTP we have been investing in both technologies and methodologies to
accelerate cloud innovation and adoption since 2010. Software tooling and IP
have had a huge impact on the success of clients in their cloud initiatives, and
will continue to play a significant role in our services going forward.
First, we have developed IP that provides the core capabilities that all digital
solutions and SaaS applications need. This includes multi-tenant administration of users, orgs, permissions and subscriptions which saves clients time and
money, and decreases time to market for new cloud-based applications. By
leveraging this IP for core user and tenant services, enterprises, ISVs, and product companies can focus on the business value and functionality needed to compete in the market. Innovation Central features:
• Common Capabilities for Multiple Modules, Products and Applications Our IP provides a common platform for rapidly deploying and managing
