Design: Good Solutions Require Good Design

Good design is not as easy as it would seem.  While it is essential to have input from all the stakeholders of a project, it is disastrous to make design decisions by consensus.  You end up with well-intentioned and decent functionality, but a clumsy and awkward implementation. Someone needs to make technical judgment calls and apply a consistent look and feel to the project.

Our Process of Design

The Virant Group creates a design by understanding your business and talking the language of all the stakeholders.  By using a closed loop process with each functional area, you get the benefits of committee design without the end result of software that meets everyone's requirements that nobody wants to use.  Or worse, having the project scope creep out of existence.
