"As companies make usability an integral part of their business strategy, there
is a growing need for sustained efforts and a dedicated usability team.
HFI's Center of Excellence (CE) is an established model to engage such a
team. The team typically consists of usability, graphics and technical
specialists. It can manage entire your usability initiative and can
effectively collaborate with your business and development teams. It's like
having your own usability team offshore..."

For over 20 years, HFI has provided project-level support to many corporations and Fortune 500 companies. With our high-level expertise in the development of user interface structures and standards, we have solved highly complex usability problems on a project-by-project basis.
However, we have seen a growing demand for sustained usability support. Companies wanting to expand, refine, or support their existing usability operations have realized the benefits of purchased resources that work in cooperation with a company's developers and design staff on long-term projects.
HFI's Centers of Excellence (CE) are designed for companies that require
on-demand access to HFI's team of usability experts, including graphics
and prototyping support, over a sustained period – all this at a
lower overall cost. You can also bring in US-based HFI consulting and
specialized services when needed.
