Make IT Easy - The Benefits of User-Centered Design

Posted by Travis Smith in on September 11, 2009

Technology does not operate in a vacuum. The value of your website, corporate intranet, and internal business applications will not be determined by the designers and developers, but by the users. The users - the PEOPLE - will decide how often they want to use your intranet…purchase from your website…leverage your portal. Give them an easy, intuitive experience and you will likely see them come back for more. Give them a frustrating, time-consuming experience and you will struggle to achieve the website conversion or system adoption that you desire.

Enter Ambassador Solutions and Tuitive – two firms who get IT. Two firms who understand that while solid technology and robust visual design are vital, those efforts are in vain if not properly harnessed for the benefit of the often-forgotten element in technology endeavors: the human being

Join us for a complimentary event on September 22 to learn about the benefits of user-centered…HUMAN-centered…design, and what it can mean to the success of your projects. We are also holding a complimentary luncheon after the presentation to offer you a great opportunity for further discussion and networking.
