Orium Executive Interview
We are a design and technology firm based in Toronto, Canada with 4 offices globally. We work with large organizations and funded start-ups, helping them build the software around their marketing and product experiences. We work with a variety of application types including web, native, and increasingly Internet of Things applications.
Next, we look at whether an app has been built before. We work very comfortably in scenarios where we are building a brand new product or innovating on a brand new experience, but tend to include more time for customer validation and technical proof-of-concept.
Lastly, we look at required functionality and integrations. Are there ways to use hybrid applications instead of full native? Are there ways to leverage content and functionality from other sources or platforms?
The second benefit is through alliances with leading organizations like IBM. IBM’s Mobile First platform allows us to rapidly and effectively architect applications for our enterprise customers while helping us lower the long-term cost of a customer’s complete mobile application portfolio.
We’ve helped a number of our customers look at their current app portfolio and decide if they should use more hybrid or wrapped applications in attempts to replace existing apps or lower the cost of ownership on new apps. The capabilities of these platforms have come a long way in the past few years.
Also, we often look at the capabilities of our customer’s internal talent. That application's going to be more likely to be maintained and the customer is more likely to be able to collaborate with us on its development.
Also, do we have a starting point for the project? Thanks to a solution like IBM Mobile First, usually we’re able to reduce costs by enough of a margin to more than compensate for the licensing costs.
Then from a development perspective, the business logic, the number of features and integrations, and testing requirements also influence the cost.
Usually, our billing is rendered in the form of an upfront invoice or deposit, then billing evenly throughout the course of the project.
If it's less than a certain amount, then often we'll try to take an advisory role and add value that way, as they perhaps have internal teams work on the project.
