In May 2008, Formulate Information Design was engaged by fellow Canberra-based IT firm EMS Solutions, to assist with the design of one of their products.
The software, called Basix:Platform®, is a platform for enterprise applications (e.g. software for financial and facilities management). Organisations can build tailored Basix:Platform® solutions using Basix:Builder®, quickly, easily and with minimal of programming.
Formulate was engaged to conduct an expert review of the Basix:Platform® interfaces produced by the Basix:Builder®. EMS Solutions was keen to ensure that the quality back-end and depth of features of their product was matched by a simple-to-use front-end.
The comprehensive review identified areas of strength as well as potential improvement, with associated priorities. According to Geoff Collett, Director of Technical Solutions, "as a result of this review, a number of changes have been implemented that will improve the user experience for our product". The review also gave the EMS Solutions programmers a framework by which to ensure other products and future releases were user-friendly.
On 7 August 2008, after months of continuous development and user consultation, EMS Solutions officially launched Basix:Builder®. Formulate Information Design congratulations EMS Solutions on the release of this innovative and affordable approach to software applications in the enterprise. We were delighted to be part of the extended EMS Solutions family.
