How our studios are different

We are fast, disciplined, and innovative. Our delivery teams field complete systems with original design, excellent processes, and heaps of testing in the time most competitors spend configuring tools and capturing requirements.

But that’s only the beginning!

Our product designers are among the best in the industry at helping clients discover exactly what to build. This gives our teams the power to churn out innovative products and deliver the extra things that make a system usable and likeable while satisfying the necessities.

Every project is driven against fixed-time schedules and we get the functionality to your business or mission quickly and cost effectively.

We use Outside-in product design so your system fits into the human world. Systems made with this approach are more useful and likeable to your users, admins, and customers. We believe the experience is the product.

Our delivery teams employ the best software engineering tools and processes available, with emphasis on Agile and Lean. Continuous integration is the heart of our delivery process, forcing every system to be built, integrated, and tested several times each day. Beneath the covers code is abstracted and modularized to support incremental development, designed for test, and executed against system and unit tests continuously. Manual testing is too slow and unreliable, so we go all out with automated test.

User training, documentation, and design doc kits are delivered to order.

We top off our service with intense loyalty and professionalism. You will find it easy to get what you need and what you want - including changes.

Depending on what you need, full-service can mean everything:

- Conceptual Design Research
- Product Design
- Technical Architecture & Implementation
- Pre-launch Marketing & Branding
- Launch Preparation & Rollout
- Post-launch Support
- Product Refinement and Line Extension
- Technical Support, Factory Services, and Training

We’ll even help you launch your new system with communications strategies, marketing, training, tradeshows, and technical support.

We don’t limit our services to pure engineering. At SOI we recognize that clients need just as much help launching their new product or system as they do building it. We want to do everything possible to make your investment a success.
