Asynchrony Labs
Faster Delivery of Custom Software Applications

Sometime back, the management at the MO based Fusion Marketing—marketing and advertising firm— was in a dilemma when seeking solutions for their problem at hand. The issue lay in identifying the appropriate technologies and architecture for their new Performance Solutions platform. They decided to create a “Performance Solutions” platform as it supports advanced analytics and predictive modeling, micro segmentation and communication, accessible from any device. After scrutinizing through prospects, Fusion Marketing approached Asynchrony Labs—an innovative software technology firm focused on the agile delivery of custom software applications.

Asynchrony Labs worked with the firm and facilitated a number of brain storming sessions to develop user personas across market segments. The initial information gathering process, in turn, helped guide the creation of the proposed feature set, including web and mobile mock-ups. In parallel, business requirements were mapped to technical components, tools and APIs, which were categorized into functional groups. This allowed Fusion to see how alternate road maps and various feature sets would impact cost and timing. In utilizing an agile approach in the platform inception phase, Asynchrony was quickly able to provide Fusion with a number of well-documented options to move forward and help Fusion’s executive committee approve the development phase. “Asynchrony’s agile approach manifests not only in their software development practices but also in partnering with their clients. We intend to leverage this approach with our clients as we move forward with a new platform,” says Chris Galloway, Fusion Marketing SVP and Performance Solutions Practice Leader.

Asynchrony helps organizations to balance the business needs by developing architectural products and deliverables for the enterprise and operational business lines. Asynchrony’s Krypdox—an enterprise wide, ultra-secure mobile file distribution solution, is designed for companies that regularly distribute confidential information to mobile users, such as, price list and financial reports lab notebooks. Built on a distributed architecture, Krypdox keeps unencrypted data behind the corporate firewall and allows to be decrypted only on authorized devices.
