Usability and Design Engineering: A New Wave

Viena, VA - December 20, 2006 – GlobalLogic has always been in the forefront in actively providing its partners with the most advanced and professional capabilities and tools in the OPD space. Providing usability engineering services as a part of its PDLC is core to this philosophy. For GlobalLogic, usability engineering is not just another service; it's an important component of its strategy to provide partners with complete product engineering capabilities.

GlobalLogic's Product Usability and Design Group brings together a multi-skilled group of people with expertise in usability engineering, interaction design, graphic design, technical documentation and prototyping. The group consists of a total of about 12 members with a core expert group of 3 members and the rest distributed across partner teams.

The group works as a horizontal group providing special expertise in usability engineering and design in the areas of high-tech and internet, mobile, telecom and finance and enterprise.

GlobalLogic's usability offering is different in the value it provides to its partners.

• In close proximity to technical development teams, it provides partners the ability to do usability engineering as an integrated software development process.
• Since our team members have extensive experience working with clients abroad, we bring in the ability to bridge communication barriers that plague any off-shoring model, especially a communication intensive field like usability engineering.
• We understand that our partners have short release-to-market cycles and so we combine a rigorous usability methodology with a practical cost-effective approach.
• We actively participate in the development of products for our partners with the goal of providing long-term value.
