When IT establishes user profiles for virtual desktops, it has several profile options. If users work from multiple endpoints, for example, IT should use roaming user profiles. When it comes to the virtual desktop user experience, IT often faces difficult decisions that pit user customization against performance.
Managing user profiles provides IT with a means to customize the desktop without storing persistent desktops on the back-end infrastructure, allowing them to store desktop configurations, application permissions, local user data and more. IT has many options for customizing its user profile management program, but this freedom can make the process overwhelming.

Many businesses put a lot of effort into creating effective website designs.
They try to build sites filled with intuitive navigation, strong branding and clear customer journeys. But while investing in a functional and beautiful website is necessary, some digital destinations forget one small web page whose appearance can have an impact on their conversion rates: the 404 error page.

Digital network service brands such as Airbnb and Uber have not only shaken up traditional industries but have had a huge impact on consumer behaviour, what people are open to, and what they expect when it comes to brand engagement — an impact with ripples felt far beyond the travel and leisure markets.
In recent years, we’ve seen a myriad of direct-to-consumer offers disrupting traditional brand and business models. Dollar Shave Club is perhaps the most salient example. According to Fortune, within just five years of Dollar Shave Club’s launch, P&G’s North American market share in razors fell from 71 percent to 59 percent — setting the ball in motion for Unilever’s acquisition of the direct-to-consumer brand for a cool $1 billion.
However, many of these direct-to-consumer offers are missing a trick by behaving primarily as e-commerce or subscription services and not maximizing the opportunities afforded by their direct customer relationship — so much so that we question whether they are in fact sustainable and fit for long term growth.

"I still think the user experience is crucial -- and it's about providing something that's right for the individual," says Cohen.

Usability is about one thing and that is the quality of interaction between people and products. It’s really that simple. However, the process involved to ensure this quality is less straightforward. Also, to clarify, usability is human factors. They are one and the same.
The task of increasing the quality of interactions between people and products can be driven by regulation. For example, making a product safe to use. However, the commercial drivers of making the product more efficient and satisfying to use are just as significant.
It’s important to know that usability isn’t something that is only applied to medical products, nor is it something that is only applied to complex devices. Something as simple as a tin opener has progressed dramatically since the mid-1900s with regard to usability, as has the folding of a baby stroller and the user experience of many software applications. It’s all around us.
