Makibie today announced the availability of the Makibie Connect Suite, a powerful set of collaboration and analytical tools that help companies seamlessly manage business ideas from conception to deployment. The Makibie Connect Suite is offered in two deployment models: software as a service (SAAS) and the Connect Appliance. Both deployment models offer the same power, technology, and service—Connect SAAS offers it remotely from the cloud, and Connect Appliance offers it directly as a physical appliance that can be installed on a client’s infrastructure.
By coupling the Makibie Connect Suite with Makibie’s eBusiness Consulting Services, businesses now have the power to research, design, develop and improve their eBusiness solutions rapidly using real-time, real-world data—informed by expert advice and analysis. The Makibie Connect Suite consists of:
* Research Library — helps companies keep tabs on their competition, set business objectives, identify strategic metrics, and stay ahead of trends emerging in the marketplace.
* Persona 360˚ — helps businesses study the needs of the people who use their eBusiness applications (internal users, customers, or potential customers), and helps businesses establish metrics that will track how well their applications serve their users.
* !dea Space — gives companies the power to explore eBusiness ideas, concepts, and blueprints from conception to design and deployment. !dea Space is a place where the entire design and development process can be made transparent across the enterprise.
* UX Measurement — allows businesses to capture real time user and business data and display it in easy-to-use dashboard displays. This gives solution owners and operators the power to understand, quickly, how well their solutions are performing.
“Three key concepts drove the development of Makibie Connect,” said Makibie CEO Rob Maille. “First, many enterprises fail to define good customer-centered metrics for their eBusiness solutions. Second, few enterprises are able to maintain and track them through the entire product lifecycle. Third, most of the information and data about an eBusiness asset is scattered around the enterprise—there’s no one place to go to get the full picture. Makibie Connect brings the entire process together and drives the use of metrics throughout. The result is a much more effective use of precious time and money.”
