BIT 7 is the “Ultimate Product Development
Tool”. Under one roof, we have the competencies needed to “Make Your
Products Happen” quickly, efficiently, and with extraordinary results.
From initial laboratory and user research through engineering, design, and product
performance testing, we’ll Increase Your Resources for Innovation
and Speed-to-Market. We’re not your typical design firm.
"Deep
Firm" Competencies
BIT 7 is the quintessential "deep firm."
This is opposed to independent consultants or design houses who only
provide competencies in a limited array of disciplines, i.e.; "shallow
firms".
The advantage of working with a “deep firm” is that the
proposed product will be looked at through the lens of separate and not
always complementary disciplines. For instance, a common occurrence when
working with industrial design firms is for a product to be produced which
is elegantly designed and ergonomically correct, but simply does not work
from a functional standpoint. This is because designers are not engineers
and engineers are not product testing scientists. When working with BIT 7,
however, the design can be reviewed, quickly and efficiently, by specialists
in many different development disciplines, avoiding problems and greatly
enhancing the final product. This multi-disciplinary approach also greatly
enhances creativity and innovation. Having the design looked at from
different viewpoints which represent different knowledge bases, often can foster
breakthrough ideas. The “deep firm” advantage of BIT 7 is especially
evident when developing a product from the ground up. Having all the
product development disciplines under one roof, including conceptual
developers, product design engineers, testers and technicians, creates an
atmosphere of communication, collaboration, innovation and ingenuity that spawn
the “eureka moments” we are known for.
The advantages of working with a single organization
that delivers all relevant product development components cannot be
understated. BIT 7 also can function well as a extension of your Product
Development Team, becoming conversant in your culture and systems, bringing
our powerful resources and deep competencies to the point of greatest
effectiveness. This can often make the difference between a good design and
a great design, as well as the speed-to-market needed in today’s economy.
The ability to add our strengths to your team, where and when needed,
allows you to leverage your internal resources without adding long-term
cost. It allows you to quickly respond to any product development
challenge, only paying for the specialized capabilities required when you
need them, allowing you the flexibility and freedom to focus on your core
objectives.
Significant

In the world of product development firms, talk is
cheap. BIT 7 walks the walk. Hundreds of patents granted, dozens of complex
projects completed for world-class clients. Over two thirds of the BIT 7
organization are engineers, product testing and research specialists and
scientists. The average BIT 7 engineer has ten to fifteen years product
development experience. BIT 7 utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and
technology platforms and can extend the benefits of our sophistication to our
client’s development projects.
A Commitment
to Value
BIT 7 is a world-class organization with global scope,
but, with our Development Center located in Chicago, Illinois
we are firmly entrenched in our Midwestern roots. As we have grown we have
never lost our commitment to small and middle market enterprises. BIT 7 provides
value to our clients and works hard to ensure that our client’s money is
well and economically spent. When comparing BIT 7 to other product
