epioDesigner reduces the communication gap between business-users and technologists during the requirements analysis, prototyping and usability stages of the software development life-cycle. epioDesigner is based on standard processes and tools.

The design and new product development departments have fine-tuned the use of use case analysis, and UML for clear, rapid application analysis and prototyping. These have been encapsulated into a process specifically tailored for delivering web applications, however the production of any type of application from win32 to WAP is possible.


what does it do?
  epiodesigner is a set of tools...

- Project Manager
- Role Manager
- Entity Manager
- Navigation Manager
  - Workspace Manager
- Pattern Manager
- Styler / Colour Picker
- Usability Test Centre

and a process (based on the design process that proved so successful with epiowave V2 project) it manages the solution lifecycle via a common information pool.

- co-ordinates multidisciplinary teams
- captures requirements and system design
- facilitates the prototyping process
- automatically produces template applications

epiodesigner is based on a common-metadata-layer concept.
it performs the following functions:

- centralises all information during the software development   process

- is the bridge to better integrate software development teams.

- provides formalised requirements analysis and specification     structure

- automatically produces more accurate and realistic prototypes

- automatically code-generates entire applications
my involvement
  mainly I worked on transfering the prototyping processes into a logical and cohesive software suite. I specialised in the definition of patterns used to set up the metadata layer input forms. also the entity definition process which is the most fundemental module in the epiodesigner product. the product is currently in the post development, testing phase.

because of sensitive intellectual property contained in the epiodesigner system, there are limitations as to what information can be presented here.
