#1 IT Challenge in the 20th Century Operational efficiency 2
#1 IT Challenge in the 21st Century Innovation & Growth 3
Business Software is Supposed to Help Meet These Challenges But... 4
The Way That Business Software is Designed, Developed & Delivered is Fundamentally Broken In the last year, 70% of projects failed to meet deadlines, & 50% of projects failed to meet the needs of the business; 80% of the issues stem from poor requirements. Standish Group Chaos Report, 2007 5
Business Users Don t Know What They Want Until They See & Interact With It # 6
Business Users Can t Interpret Text Specs., Use Cases, Screen Shots, etc. # 7
The Impact is Dramatic Long cycle times Late stage rework Poor adoption Risky global sourcing Blown business plans Strained relationships 8
The Solution irise enables non-technical people to quickly assemble a working simulation of business applications & rapidly iterate with business stakeholders for fast consensus on what to build, without writing a single line of code. 9
