Vincit

Company

Software development expert.

The word Vincit comes from Latin and means to conquer, or win. It is more familiar from phrases such as amor vincit omnia and labor omnia vincit. We believe that love for our work, and hard work, is what sets us apart.

Through hard work, we have been ranked first at Best Workplaces in Europe by Great Place to Work Institute. In addition, Vincit has been selected three times as Best Workplace in Finland.

Our success stems from two facts: satisfied customers and satisfied employees. Our customer satisfaction rate is top class. On the basis of more than two hundred customer satisfaction surveys, 100% of our customers would recommend us to a colleague. Every single Vincit employee considers Vincit an altogether excellent place to work. It is hard not to succeed on this basis.

Service designOpen or Close

Our user interface designers take part in projects starting from the very first discussions with the customer. If needed, they participate in refining and developing the customer’s concept. When we have reached an agreement on the goals, we proceed to user interface drafting and wireframe model planning.

On the basis of the drafts, we start to build the user interface already at an early phase of production, so that we can polish and test it throughout the entire production process. The user interface reaches its final form on the basis of user feedback and testing.

When usability and functionality have been covered, we design the user interface layout. The broad outlines of the layout are agreed with the customer, and the final look is shaped on the basis of feedback and requests.

A carefully thought-out user interface and polished look improve the user experience.
For this reason, it is important that the designers work with the software developers throughout the whole process, to further develop the product and refine its usability.

” We established trust already in the first meeting. Vincit immediately knew what needed to be done. Initially, we only intended to renew the user interface, but Vincit could also provide experts for other tasks. So we rewrote the code and renewed the databases at the same time.”

– Harri Henritius, Megalock

” The project proceeded according to the planned schedule and budget, in other words, exactly as we expected. Cooperation with Vincit has been agreeable and communication has been easy and straightforward. Vincit reacts to different requests quickly and flexibly.”

– Jarko Laine ja Markku Lehto, Logica
