to creating concepts, clients collaborate in innovation sprints to
create a solution design that zeros in on their exact business
needs and direction. Journey maps are created around the client's
personas and user profiles. Processes and interaction flows are

with the future solution is tested with wireframes and
mock-ups.
- Develop with innovation projects: From concept to
productive solution, clients collaborate using an agile development
approach that places users at the center of every stage of
development. This transforms ideas into unique software solutions,
leverages the latest technologies and creates value early and
often.
- Run with services for support, continuous improvement and
operations: Clients can protect and run their individualized
solutions over the long term. They can choose the right deployment
option that fits their needs and scales to their business and
