The client
NREP is a vertically integrated real estate product innovator, developer, investor, and operator that seeks to make real estate better.
In 2017 NREP contracted IWA to help them in designing the IT system for its future business concept, which was then still in stealth-mode. This business concept was later launched in 2019 as the Noli Studios serviced living concept.
At the beginning of the project, we took responsibility for turning NREP’s innovative ideas into a defined service concept and meticulously crafted an IT architecture plan.
The solution
The project started in the summer of 2017 with a kick-off workshop lead by Oivan's CEO Rami Korhonen, who has 20-years of experience in designing digital services. At the kick-off workshop Oivan and NREP agreed on the project management processes and started to: Design User Personas, List Required Features, Identify Potential Risks, Define Project Success Criteria, and Create Customer Journeys.
After the kick-off workshop, Oivan’s UX designer and Senior Software Architect Aki took charge of taking the project forward from Oivan’s side. The parties settled on a 2-week sprint cycle and started the challenging and inspiring work.
Customer says
“Working with Oivan has allowed us to focus on business innovation while they have distilled our ideas into a well-defined web-service and IT architecture. Oivan’s strong vision for human-centric usability and practical technical solutions allowed us to receive a fully actionable plan for the IT system for our future business.”
