Today, software infrastructure in organizations becomes increasingly complex: New technologies arise quickly and staff has to cope with different digital tools continuously. That creates problems, from which especially IT-specialists suffer. Studies showed they spent 30% of their time supporting recurring software-problems - instead of using this time more effectively for innovations.
Moreover, IT training for employees is not sufficient anymore: People need IT-support directly when they face a problem and are individually customized to their needs. New team members need efficient introduction into organizational structures.
By making software easily accessible for everyone, the benefit for the group or even society is much more likely than when accessibility is limited by complicated UX or UI. If software can only be used after extensive training and practice, it can only be used by people with the sufficient resources, thus making it less accessible for society.
With the technology we have developed at miraminds our clients are able to automatically capture, store, play back, as well as match user software workflows and processes in real-time. Thus developing a technology the replaces the cumbersome manual loading of files from a local file system with an intelligent cloud solution comprising the following offerings/features:
Automated and seamless storing/loading of workflow data on a server/cloud from within our desktop software product.
Intelligent search and/or recommendation of workflows based on a user’s work context.
We consider the course of the project and the work with the Innovation Associate successful. The produced results are in line with what was originally intended and we are thankful for the given opportunity.
However, the transition from a successful research project to an actual product takes time and resources. We have realized that the one-year period of initial research may be too early for developing a sound going-to-market strategy. Due to the successful collaboration, we have invited the Innovation Associate to work for miraminds beyond the funded project period. However, we are now facing the challenge of finding follow up funding for turning gained results into an attractive product.
