Analysis

Before you climb a mountain, you study the terrain ahead.  Before you dive for the treasure ship, you make sure you know what's down there. At Delphia Consulting we provide analytical services that form the foundation of a well thought out user-centered design.

User Analysis

Do you understand your users' characteristics? Who are your user communities? What tasks are they trying to accomplish today? What are their desired tasks? How is their job evolving? What expectations do they bring to bear on dealing with you? We can help you answer these questions so you are confident you're building a system that meets their needs.

What we do

• We help define your target audience and through a variety of methods engage your users to collect input regarding their needs and expectations
• Together we'll construct user profiles and create realistic user scenarios used to guide you through the user-centered design process

Requirements Analysis

Who are your stakeholders? What needs do they have? How do you handle the needs of one stakeholder versus another? Are your requirements in balance with your deadlines? We have the experience and technical expertise to help you gather requirements, analyze their feasibility and manage them within the boundaries of your project.

What we do

• Work with you to identify stakeholders and through a variety of methods collect their input regarding their needs, desires, and even unvoiced expectations
• We analyze the requirements to identify common needs, untangle inconsistencies and make recommendations
• Together with your stakeholders we iterate a process of prioritizing and balancing needs to fit the constraints of your project

Competitive Analysis

When PDAs first entered the market their designers felt they were unique. In actuality, the PDA's competition was pen and paper. Could you enter an appointment in your PDA as quickly as you could jot it down? Do you know your competition? Are you building an application that will win customers? Every product has competition and we can help you stay ahead of yours.

What we do

• Work together to identify current and potential competitors
• Evaluate competitors' strengths determining where you need to improve
• Identify competitors' weaknesses to learn how to gain a competitive advantage
