[Sigia-l] AXURE and prototyping demonstrations

[Farmer, Rod]

Hi,

We have been looking at many of the same problems described by the
previous threads with AXURE. Someone raised the point - "Ultimate
prototyping tool". We've been doing our own little internal list for a
"Oh my god - that's the one" tool.

We were fortunate enough to see an internal presentation yesterday for a
new Adobe product called "Thermo" - and this is by far the closest thing
I have seen to date that meets our requirements. Thermo is pre-alpha and
internal presentations only, but you should see what you can get out of
Adobe. 

*	Create high level wireframes and skin them later with detailed
design components - check
*	Creatives can provide vision to the UX team who can add
interaction flows and high-level functionality with one-click
simplicity(including data sources for run-time testing) - check
*	Developers can add complex backend behaviour for end-to-end
development - check
*	Fit within your RUP, DOORS, SPIRAL, XP, latest agile methodology
whatever - check
*	Whole thing works with the usual Adobe characters - check

Looking forward to beta testing this one.

Keep an eye out on labs.adobe.com
