CHallenge: boosting functionality in business critical applications
Lycos’ existing financial options application was expensive, and it was not meeting the needs of its demanding clients. Performance was slow and analytical functionality was limited. Additionally, Lycos had little room to customize, and thus differentiate, its offering since the option application was a product provided by a third party.
Solution: Custom software developed with Digital Foundry’s Industry Experts and leading Software Architects
Lycos turned to Digital Foundry to help develop its new options offering – Butterfly Corner (now Quote.com). Guided by a proven project lifecycle, Digital Foundry consultants worked closely with Lycos business representatives and engineers to carefully analyze the business, user and technical requirements for Butterfly Corner. The teams then collaborated to create the necessary functional, technical and project management documentation.
