Team
Members of our team have worked for research companies, interactive and advertising agencies and IT companies. We believe that interdisciplinarity is a key factor for creativity. We build products using the User-Centered Design method.
There are three mainstays of our service building:
- Observing users is a key condition for user-oriented designing. We take part in the observing of users at each step of the design process.
- Brainstorms are held in order to create fresh ideas and conceptions. Next, new ideas are evaluated by experts and users.
- Prototyping is called the language of innovation. We create low and high quality prototypes to inspect and then improve.
History
Our first product was BusinessWiki. This software is based on several years of our experience in rendering corporate wikis. The first wiki was introduced for Viessmann in 2006. We observed the way that employees used it, then we made some improvements and continued to observe. This allowed us to create software which is easy to use and flexible. Viessmann employees still use our software.
In 2008 we officially started Divante Sp. z o.o. (Ltd)
The next step was the introduction of wikis in large companies – Agora (one of the biggest media corporations in Europe, operating in Poland and Ukraine) and Kolporter (one of the biggest companies in Poland).
These big implementations assured us that we were capable of offering our clients excellent software, reliability and data security. We decided to open our offer to smaller companies for whom wiki is the main system for managing knowledge, ideas and projects. During the first few months we gained 25 clients in Poland and decided to go international.
In November 2008 we started selling BusinessWiki through www.onbusinesswiki.com. We also cooperate with consultants and partners, who help to implement wiki as part of knowledge management strategy for our most demanding clients.
BusinessWiki is our flagship product, but we have also created innovative software for idea management called LiveBlend. This software is directed to big companies. It supports the creative process and the conducting of innovative campaigns. During its creation we cooperated with experts and trainers of creativity and innovation.
We are active in the fields of market education and promotion of ideas we believe in. Our software is also available free of charge for non-profit organizations.
We also work on software supporting e-Business. We create software for eCommerce.
