The iRise Users community is a sub-community of the Catalyze Community that iRise helped to launch in June 2007. The best part, besides the fact that the Catalyze and iRise Communities are free, is that you will be able to seamlessly access the great content on both the public Catalyze community and iRise-specific community using the same log-in information.
Since this page is a landing page within Catalyze, you can Login or Register above. You can also use the Menu tabs to begin exploring what Catalyze has to offer.
Note that the iRise Users community does not replace iRise Product Support. It supplements and complements the great service we already provide by letting you interact with other users. iRise Product Support will still offer the same high levels of personal touch that is the hallmark of our customer service.
What is the Catalyze Community?
Catalyze is a community for business analysts, usability professionals, product managers and others who define and design software applications and websites. iRise is funding Catalyze and the community is co-sponsored by the International Association of Business Analysis (IIBA) and the Usability Professionals' Association (UPA).
The Catalyze community launched in June 2007 and we currently have more than 2,700 members. There are more than 400 members of the iRise User section including iRise employees, partners and customers.
How do I access the iRise Users Community?
Follow these steps to join Catalyze and the iRise Users community:
