Imagine people enjoy using your software.
Software. Design. Interfaces.
SinnerSchrader Neue Informatik.
Interactive software systems differ from other systems in one central point: their actual value lies in the benefit to the user. Ultimately, only the functions that are really used help to add value.
Countless successful Internet applications are based on this simple finding. Their success has played a major role in this principle now also being used in intranets and all other systems with which people interact.
But in practice, questions of technology and project organisation still tend to dominate the discussions about development and project methods. The primary focus lies on the costs of technical implementation and operation, while the question of how the benefits of an application can be ensured and increased is often neglected. This often has fatal consequences, because the aspect of usability is just as important as technology in order to realise the optimum value for the means used.
SinnerSchrader Neue Informatik has therefore committed itself to user-centric design. As a paradigm of software development it ensures the maximum benefit for the user. User-centric software development guarantees maximum functionality, usability and, not least, joy of use both for Internet applications and for IT solutions supporting employees in companies.
In Neue Informatik we concentrate the expertise from over nine years of experience in project business. The customers, especially in the IT departments of large and medium-sized companies, will find all of the relevant qualifications there: expert consultants with specialist industry knowledge, design experts with skills in user guidance and usability as well as experienced software developers.
With its portfolio of services Neue Informatik addresses three solution domains:
- transaction-oriented websites, such as shops, self-service portals and booking solutions,
- information systems, such as intranets, extranets and enterprise portals as well as
- applications which optimise business processes within companies.
Neue Informatik develops robust and high-performance systems on the basis of state-of-the-art technologies – with a focus on Java and Open Source software. In addition to the well-known browser-based applications, Neue Informatik’s field of work also increasingly includes the development of mobile and desktop applications (“rich clients”) as a new field of activity.
Teams, methods and the technologies used are optimised to generate as much useful functionality as possible per euro spent. That is why the project teams concentrate on the key requirements from the outset and pursue simplicity by reducing complexity as a guiding principle in system design. Interdisciplinary teams and methods of user-centric software development help in developing exactly what the user really needs.
The heavyweights in the client list include comdirect bank and Deutsche Bank. Both banks operate extensive financial portals for private and business customers with online banking and online brokerage services as well as comprehensive information about international financial markets and the banks’ own products.
At the Leipzig Book Fair in the spring of 2005, Neue Informatik launched the SZ-Mediathek, an online media shop with an innovative concept, for Süddeutscher Verlag. When developing this e-commerce solution, Neue Informatik’s commerce framework was used, a modular and expandable J2EE shop system completely based on Open Source components.
On behalf of Deutsche Telekom a new platform was created for the T-Card, the universal international telephone card from the group brand T-Com. Furthermore, booking and reservation systems for the travel and tourism industry, such as the car hire firms Europcar and interRent and the various airlines in the TUI Group are among the most important references.
