A Business Service Voucher is worth between \u20ac1000 and \u20ac5000, which is already a great boost for the commercialisation of a service or product. The voucher is available to all limited liability companies under 5 years old.<\/p>\n<p>The Business Service Voucher aims to lower the threshold for purchasing professional services from external providers. MeKiwi is a Business Oulu registered Business Service Voucher service provider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We offer six key services to help young businesses develop their business.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The services are worth between \u20ac4000 and \u20ac5000.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1 Mobile app design<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The starting point for designing a mobile app is determining what you need it for. Is it used by the employees or the customers of the company? Or does the app act as a channel to connect different parties?<\/p>\n<p>These are the starting points for our team of experts to integrate the app into your business. A well-designed mobile app drives action towards your goals.<\/p>\n<p>Designing a mobile application that benefits your business includes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Background and user research<\/li>\n<li>Building scenarios for the product<\/li>\n<li>User interface drafts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>2 Business planning for a digital environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Digital tools make things easier. Why make it difficult when you can make it simple? In the service package, we plan how you can make your business more efficient by using digital services. Let&#8217;s find the right digital tools for your business.<\/p>\n<p>You know what you want to achieve. We&#8217;ll find the areas where problems are. We&#8217;ll tell you what, where and how you could use digital solutions to get things done more smoothly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3 Planning international business in a digital environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Digital platforms enable the production and distribution of services worldwide. As part of our service package, we plan how you can expand your business into an international environment &#8211; or enhance your existing operations there.<\/p>\n<p>We help you find the right digital tools for your business, analyse your business image in an international environment and the scalability of your product in your target market.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4 Developing and applying VR and AR innovations in business<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) convey information in a completely different way to any previous technology.<\/p>\n<p>Both can be used for gaming, either for recreational or educational purposes. All kinds of spatial and informational displays also work very well in VR and AR environments.<\/p>\n<p>Working in a virtual environment is always about experience and emotion. This promotes learning and retention.<\/p>\n<p>There is no need to teach a user to play virtually &#8211; with prices coming down, virtual reality headsets are already widely adopted by consumers.<\/p>\n<p>As technology becomes more widespread, more people can benefit from tailor-made solutions. We can tailor the content of the service to your needs. As an example, here is the conceptualisation of a virtual reality educational game in a nutshell:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Background and user research<\/li>\n<li>Building scenarios for the product<\/li>\n<li>User interface drafts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>5 Playtesting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We test VR and mobile games on target audiences. We collect user experiences and ideas for further development into a report. We can use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tietomaa.fi\/\"><strong>Oulu&#8217;s Tietomaa Science Centre<\/strong><\/a> as a testing environment, which is particularly useful when we need to test the game with a large number of users.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6 Concept design for a gamified service\/tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The game offers a way to improve customer satisfaction, build relationships and stay in touch with the customer. Gamification starts with getting to know the customer. What does the customer want and need, and what kind of action will they agree to? The starting point for gamification is a need &#8211; something you want to promote. Gamification can be used to support, guide, motivate or engage the user.<\/p>\n<p>A gamified service does not have to look like a game. Game features are targeted to appropriate places within the service.<\/p>\n<p>The number one priority is the user experience. This includes the activity of the user, the responsiveness of the application, the structure of the application, its appearance and also the sound. Simplicity and efficiency are the key words here.<\/p>\n<p>Designing a gamified service:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Background and user research<\/li>\n<li>Building scenarios for the product<\/li>\n<li>User interface drafts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Whatever your needs, you can be sure that after a project like this, you&#8217;ve already gone a long way.
