The Growing Importance of Usability and Responsiveness
Today, almost everyone is using technology. Smartphones, laptops and tablet devices have made it easier than ever before to access services, applications, and content – anywhere and anytime. This new level of accessibility has driven expectations in the business world too. Your employees have grown accustomed to the speed, responsiveness, and usability of the apps they use in their day-to-day lives.
Creating New Business Opportunities with User Experience
However, in times of big data and digitalization, there is a higher risk of information overload. In order to work more efficiently, your employees need an intuitive and consistent user experience (UX) across all devices. This calls for responsive design and simplified user interfaces (UI). In addition to simplification, a sound UX strategy enables real-time responses, fact-based decisions, and clear visualization of large volumes of data – opening up for entirely new opportunities for your business.
Investing in User Experience not only Increases User Satisfaction – it Reduces the Effort Required for Training and Minimizes Errors.
User Experience (UX) – Much More Than Just User Interface Design
Thanks to advances in technology, there is virtually no limit to the modern user experience. Voice control, for example, enables users to interact with solutions in a more natural, hands-free way.
Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, opens up the opportunity to deliver smart, automated customer service through the use of chatbots. Moreover, augmented reality and mixed reality technologies could revolutionize the way people work by enhancing the physical world with digital information.
The Four Main Aspects of Modern UX Design
Business Benefits of Effective UX Design
- Enhanced productivity: Thanks to responsive design, you can now provide a consistent user experience on any device. This increases the productivity of your employees – whether they are in the office, at home, or on the go.
- Reduced errors: Usability is key. With a well-designed user interface, you can save time and reduce the risk of human errors.
- Higher user adoption: By providing an attractive user interface that is fun and easy to work with, your employees are much more willing to embrace new solutions and technologies.
- Lower training costs: By leaving out all unnecessary features and keeping your UX design simple, you can significantly reduce training costs. You enable your employees to perform tasks themselves, without programming skills.

UX Design: New Challenges for IT
In light of the shift towards lean and intuitive user interface, IT departments now need to change their approach. To ensure that your UX strategy is a success, you should consider the following challenges:
- Personalization: To reduce complexity, the UX needs to be tailored to the actual needs of each individual user. However, this can eventually lead to a rising number of technologies and solutions.
- Interoperability: IT infrastructure now has to be compatible with the systems and processes of your vendors, suppliers and customers. This means your IT department no longer has full control over some aspects of your landscape.
- Diversity: When developing a user interface, many different operating systems and devices have to be considered. This poses the question: Which platforms and standards should be used?
- Integration: While native apps are able to take advantage of device functionality to a higher degree, they require separate development processes for every platform and, sometimes, every single device.
