[Sigia-l] Axure: heard of it?

[Oppedisano, Richard M]

Check out iRise as well, sounds like a similar product.  We've prototyped
with it, and the product and personnel are equally impressive.

Subject: [Sigia-l] Axure: heard of it?


Came across http://www.axure.com/ today (they bought a Google text 
ad for "information architecture") and was intrigued by what I saw 
(and even more surprised that I hadn't heard of it before and there 
was no results when I searched the list archives).

They have a product called "Ubiquity RP" that "reduces the time and 
effort for defining web applications while producing effective
specifications 
and a unique descriptive prototype that truly validates requirements 
between customers, designers, developers, and testers."

Basically, you can write your specifications, do task analysis, write 
use cases, design the sitemap, and drag-and-drop to create (annotated) 
wireframes and functional prototypes, all within one program. Looks 
pretty nifty.

Plus, on their home page, it says how they are "embracing the IA 
community" -- http://www.axure.com/iamessage.aspx

I'm wondering if anyone has heard anything else about the company/software,
or if anyone has tried it out yet. (Oh, did I forget to mention 
that they have a free 30-day trial @http://www.axure.com/downloadtrial.
aspx ?)

Please note that I'm not affiliated with the company, I'm just a 
curious practitioner who is wondering if the software/company is 
as good as it seems...
