Testimonials
Ensim | 2004
“Rocket achieved in 8 weeks what normally
would have taken 4 months to do.”
Curt Stevens
Manager of Usability
VISP.net | 2004
“Rocket was wonderful! Rocket's
evaluation of our product was so compelling that we took our
interface back to the drawing
board to implement nearly all their suggestions. Rocket
was so adept and professional we’re making them a permanent
extension of our in-house programming staff.”
Todd Grannis
CEO
FileNet | 2004
“The joint Rocket and FileNet team
did such a good job with the UI design and implementation that
the launch plan got accelerated.”
Eric Tran
Sr Product Marketing Manager
Fort Point Partners | 2004
“We gave Rocket an impossibly tight
deadline to create an intuitive, professional interface for our
sophisticated product. In our experience, the deadline we
set was a recipe for mere adequacy. What we got from Rocket blew
us away. Rocket is smart, capable, and, most importantly, in
tune with its customer.”
Matthew Roche
CEO
HP | 2003
"Having been an HP employee for over
15 years, never have I seen such unanimous praise and alignment
in support of a deliverable as I have for [Rocket’s] graphics.
HP is full of perfectionists and engineers who love to find the
slightest fault with just about anything. We expect a lot from
ourselves and from anyone we work with. It is unprecedented to
have such unanimous support from all parts of the company. Thank
you for exceeding our expectations beyond our wildest dreams!”
Tina Marie Leja
Usability Program Lead
Autodesk | 2003
“Rocket's steadfast commitment to
delivering top-notch creative (focused, of course, on specific
business objectives) is unparalleled in my experience. During
the course of a very complex project with very tight deadlines,
their constant focus on pragmatic project management was invaluable. Without
their ability to reorient their team on the fly, placing top-notch
designers, production staff and project managers on the project
at key junctures (all the while monitoring our satisfaction throughout),
we would never have been able to realize the results we did in
as short a timeframe as we did.”
Rudi O’Meara
Senior Art Director
Fort Point Partners |
2003
"We received a functionally-rich interface
that spoke directly to business users. Rocket created an intuitive
experience for an inherently non-intuitive business process.”
Kevin Tate
Vice President of Global Markets
Sun Microsystems |
2002
“Rocket is part of my team, which sets
it apart from any other firm I've worked with. We can almost
finish each other's sentences. I am often impressed with the
speed at which ideas are conceived and produced. In the whirlwind
world of high-tech Rocket is a precious resource."
Martine Freiberger
Senior Visual Designer
Sun Microsystems |
2002
"Working with Rocket was great! Not
only did Rocket successfully build the GUI of the current Sun
ONE Portal Desktop 6.0, they also possess a deep understanding
of the overall product strategy. They were a great bridge between
my design team and the Sun engineers. Rocket was intimately involved
to the point where they were trouleshooting and coding alongside
our Sun engineers. If we bring in another design firm we will
be starting from scratch all over again."
Maria Capuciatti
Product Manager
Autodesk | 2002
“Last Friday I presented [Rocket’s]
screenshots of the current build with the new icons and some
of the existing icons to some of the decision makers. Once they
saw the new icons next to the existing icons they realized that
there is such a vast difference between them that they gave the
go ahead to refresh all the remaining icons. This is what the
saying ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ was
invented for.”
Jeffrey Lopes
Director of AutoCAD Design
Autodesk | 2002
"I wanted to drop you a line to let
you know that there is a buzz going around Autodesk about your
great work. The software teams are loving it."
Barbara Hatley
Art Director
BIAS | 2001
"We're extremely pleased with the work
Rocket Communications has done for us. They were actively engaged
in our project from start to finish, and listened carefully to
our specific needs. And, the project was completed on time, despite
a very aggressive time schedule. We look forward to working with
them again, and would recommend them highly."
Christine Berkley
VP Marketing
InterSAN | 2001
"Rocket took a very complex design concept
and helped us craft a first-class graphical user interface for
our storage management software. From inception to delivery,
they were professional and willing to go the extra mile."
Chris Melville
CEO
Horsley Bridge Partners |
2001
"We're building an extremely complex
enterprise application and Rocket provided the UI vocabulary
to make sense of it all. They came up to speed very quickly,
identified all the UI issues and produced a comprehensive guideline
for the developers. The experience level of the Rocket personnel
was very high and we trusted their recommendations. The result
was crisp, intuitive screens that removed the complexity from
the user perspective. We're lucky we found the Rocket team."
Duane Phillips
Managing Director
Intel | 2001
"We hired Rocket to develop an exciting
and dynamic cultural portal, ThinkIndia.Com. Rocket developed
the logic with which the entire portal functions and the Visual
Language used to create a user environment that is both pleasing
to the eye and highly functional."
Sean Dunnahoo
Director Internet Business Solution
