The Problem with Business Software & How Visualization Can Fix It
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/3378758/162105012/113452/0/
Much of the $500 billion spent every year on software development is at risk with delays, cost overruns, missing features, cancellations and poor customer experience – all because text-based requirement specifications are difficult to read and easy to misunderstand. iRise® offers a simple and effective solution – a collaborative software platform that enables businesses to quickly visualize and “test market” applications before a single line of code is written. For the first time, business people can understand for themselves what they need, and then communicate that knowledge to others using visual models that replicate the exact look, feel and behavior of the final product, taking the guesswork out of application definition. Using customer scenarios, iRise’s white paper presents a compelling business case for investing in visualization.

In our collection of oddities this week we find some relief from stories about people making gobs of money selling stuff that looks like other stuff, NASA finally showing some concern about an issue that has troubled us all since we first stepped into the Apollo model at the science museum, and proof from the animal kingdom that Circuit City is a wretched store. Also, we exact our revenge on the iPhone 3G and we take a little time to mock a student hacker.
