Finding market differentiation through a robust experience design offering
In the current environment of ever-increasing business competitiveness and technological advancement, creating a great customer experience has become an essential element of commercial success. To help our clients develop differentiated and innovative biomedical systems and products, the company appointed Cece O'Connor as the global director of UX strategy and design to develop and grow a team of experience design engineers. Cece's team is responsible for designing products, processes and services focused on creating the best possible interaction from the user's point of view.
Leveraging proprietary modules for faster time to market and lower product costs
Invetech has developed a range of pre-verified subsystems and proprietary modules that can be reused and reconfigured to enable more rapid and reliable development of diagnostic instruments. The modules consist of proven technologies including configurable motion systems, software and firmware modules that combine to decrease development risk, accelerate project schedules and deliver proven reliability.
Utilizing agile methodologies to enhance development processes
Invetech is committed to applying agile methodologies across all of its diagnostics platform projects. Agile methods are key to reducing time to market, enabling greater collaboration and communication across project teams, and significantly improving product reliability.
