(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Foliage has been developing software-intensive products and systems since 1991. We provide technology strategy and development services, from embedded medical devices to enterprise medical information systems. We have helped our clients bring over 80 Class II and III medical devices to market, and enabled those clients to capture market share and maximize profitability.

With a wealth of medical product development experience, and ISO 9001 registered process, a heavy dose of senior talent, and teams with a dedicated focus on the Medical Industry, Foliage delivers a potent advantage to our client partners. We actively collaborate to maximize that advantage by continually evolving industry leading product strategies and techniques to shorten delivery cycles, optimize quality, and reduce costs.

Bringing successful products to market requires more than technical skills, raw talent, and industry expertise. It demands the synthesis and active collaboration of all three to produce innovation and competitive advantage. Companies that attempt to differentiate based solely on technical superiority don't endure, and others who miss nuances in critical industry trends are destined for lower profits and shrinking market share. Therefore, Foliage offers a flexible range of services:

Technology Consulting Services - Our consulting engagements are highly focused and efficient, ranging from a few weeks to a few months. But they result in profound and lasting benefits - improved development strategies, higher leveraged technology approaches, extensible architectures, demonstrable cost and time savings - and ultimately a more competitive market position for our clients. Foliage works with our clients to make some of the most important product and business decisions:

Foliage offers the following Technology Consulting Services:

o Product Technology Assessment

o Technology Strategy Formulation

o Architecture Evaluation and Design

o Software Verification Strategy

o Technology Migration Feasibility Analysis and Strategy

o Product Roadmaps

o Development Process Assessment (including 510 (k))

Product Planning Services - The missing link in many development organizations is detailed planning. For example, formulating and documenting detailed software architecture, based on quality attributes appropriate for the product, can make the difference between hitting a market window with a competitive product and waiting for the next one. Foliage works with you to sort out the options and recommend the best planning approach to meet your strategic needs. Our consultants know the market well and they pride themselves on keeping up with the constant flow of new technology and product planning methods. Our product planning services allow you the flexibility and scalability required for competing in today's fast paced market.

Foliage offers the following Product Planning Services:

Product Development Services - Foliage can assume full responsibility for developing your system or we can work closely with your internal technical staff based on a variety of proven collaboration models. At the completion of the development project we deliver the documentation and knowledge you need to support the product after its initial release. We also offer the option of cost-effective long-term support and maintenance.
