How Do You Do RIA Right? Forrester Says, Just Look at Cynergy

It’s one thing to think you have the right idea. It’s another thing to try your idea, and prove to yourself you have the right idea. It’s entirely another thing to have others look in and agree that you have the right idea. It’s truly humbling when those others are thought leading market analysts and experts like Forrester Research. That’s exactly what happened this week when Dave West and the team over at Forrester Research released their latest analysis report,

Case Study: Cynergy Employs Developer-Designers To Harness The Power Of RIAs

David and team have put together a great report talking about a subject that so many people in the entire software design & development space are asking. How do you put together the best RIA design & development team, and how should that team be built, structured, and work together? The report started back last year when David asked me exactly that question, which led to hours on end of spirited discussion and ended with Forrester deciding the best way to explain how one should do that, is to simply look at Cynergy.

As I said, for a group of folks who strive to change the way all of us interact with and experience software, and to do that by changing the way we make that software, Forrester’s research was both humbling and exciting. The report goes into how we built our company, how we build our teams, work with our customers, design our software, and finally, how we then build it. The report is available online from Forrester’s site for their clients and is available to the public for $749.

As we read the report ourselves last week, we realized how truly priceless this could be for so many in the software design and development community. We also knew how important community investment and outreach is to Cynergy. We realized that we could bring those both together, and invest into being able to distribute the report to the entire community, absolutely free. That’s exactly what we did.

With great excitement, I am very proud to provide the full report to the community free of charge. Simply click here and enjoy.

All of us at Cynergy who pour our experience and our passion into designing and building amazing software hope that this research is as valuable to the community, as it has been to us and our customers.
