Device Makers

Connectivity is now taken for granted in devices. The question for device makers has become, “How do I design and develop devices to deliver the best user experience?"

To be successful in this new era of always-on connectivity, social networks and rich media, device makers need to conceptualize and design the best user experience. At the same time they need to be flexible and agile, and challenge the notion of how products are sold and connected to networks.

Handset makers are seeking high innovation velocity, while seamlessly managing transitions between development phases in order to introduce feature-rich, differentiated products quickly and cost-effectively.

Other device makers seeking to add connectivity to their products, for example in consumer electronics or healthcare, need innovation and speed also. But they also often lack critical expertise in communications technologies and development practices.
