RESEARCH
Building a successful solution starts with a deep understanding of target user groups, their needs and how the proposed technology will fit into the competitive landscape.
We work with you to map a custom architecture and governance strategy that will support your business, secure user data, optimize interactions and reliably scale over time.
Ideating together we can integrate new solutions or simplify existing systems to decrease operational burden.
Before creating a software development plan, we help you identify your target audiences and define the key characteristics for each group. We analyze and interact with your users, examine competitive artifacts and research navigation patterns to improve on existing expectations. We document the motivations, experiences, fears and problems of each persona to inform feature prioritization and your development roadmap. Through primary and secondary research, we help our partners hone product functionality and position it for success in the market.
Deciding whether to build or integrate with a third-party web service has major implications for your project timeline and budget. From creating custom software solutions to leveraging Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings for their performance, scalability and robust management tools, our architects work with you to safeguard against attrition and ensure the compatibility of your solution through side-by-side operation, migrating data-in-place or a custom alternative when maintaining or upgrading legacy platforms.
Designing efficient infrastructure rests on the ability to optimize all processes. Delivering application management services within a multi-solution system, we first seek to understand the interactions and dependencies presented by legacy systems. We work quickly and collaboratively delivering multi-tenant SaaS solutions, extending existing software platforms to mobile and re-architecting legacy platforms to maximize functionality. We increase familiarity with your systems and the flexibility to problem solve with by stationing our consultants onsite often.

Without definition, cost and completion date projections are little more than a guess.
We help your team align business strategy with technical requirements to determine scope before development begins. By examining and validating features against business and user needs, we structure a phased release plan and technical framework to help you define how the functionality will evolve over time.
Possible Output

We accelerate software design with our blend of lean methodology and Agile process, increasing our output and your return.
Practiced in considering your users’ expectations and selecting the optimum form factor, we deliver custom software solutions that distill complex business needs into experiences that feel simple for users. Our clients are involved upfront weighing in on features and storyboarding with us. Our first startup clients needed more value — faster. So we evolved our process to match their tempo. Short rounds of concepting, prototyping and feedback harmonize our ability with your deep understanding of the consumer. Discovery, design, measurement and revision phases overlap in continuous iterative cycles. Information architecture and wireframes or illustrations of an interface may be created before visual design begins. They allow both visual designers and developers to gain an understanding and collaborate on the intended experience.
Possible Output
- User persona designations
- Modeled task/decision flows
- Sitemap organization
- User interface design
- Annotated wireframes
- Development-ready assets
- Rapid prototyping
Solutions added to an existing environment must be safe, scalable and respect complex interdependencies protecting data management.
Our application management services specialists bring experience mitigating risk and managing the technical complexity of organization-wide development projects that must integrate across multiple systems. To increase agility and work more iteratively, we co-locate and learn the diverse layers that power your organization. By coordinating across and within departments, we create software that brings your stakeholders and systems together efficiently.

ANALYSIS
Assess software quality to understand challenges presented by existing code and their impact on new estimates.
We work with you to review your source code and/or architecture to gauge how well your current product will support proposed functionality. By reviewing the code, we can better map the cost and timeline of your software development plan and prepare to assist in the management of your solution. Recommending solutions to known pain points, we help your team invest in the longevity and usefulness of your technology.

With experience in the full range of frameworks and development languages, BrainX technologists help our clients select the best development strategy and technologies to balance available capital and future potential.
We maintain SCRUM methodology throughout the software development lifecycle and deliver working software
through short, iterative cycles of building, testing and learning maximizing transparency and minimize
development time.
We start each custom software solutions project collaboratively ordering the feature list and
prioritizing development according to its functional ability to drive business value. We present working
software at the end of each two-week sprint to maintain momentum and accountability. Working at a pace
the business can count on, we’re better able to forecast release goals and provide actionable
intelligence.

Without visualizing your product before development, stakeholders can’t align, connect and commit. We work with you to make the experience tangible.
We follow each user through designated solution interactions to identify how priority features work
together to create the desired experience. Wireframes, screens illustrating key moments and technical
architecture bring the experience to life.
By focusing on the most meaningful elements, we can model high-value features to demo with users,
stakeholders or investors. We create prototypes at varying levels of fidelity, from digital decks to
functional software with conditional logic, dynamic content and animated transitions.
