Case studies
TRUMP applied the recommended methods in two contrasting environments: the Inland Revenue in conjunction with EDS in the UK; and the LAHAV division of Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) in Israel.
The usability maturity of each organisation was assessed to identify which user-centred methods were needed. The methods were applied in trial projects over a 12 month period. In both cases the results were judged to be highly beneficial and cost effective, and the selected methods are now being formally incorporated into the organizations' development processes.
