User journey and customer journey are the buzzwords in the IT industry, given the need for redesigning applications for a better user/customer experience. When it comes to selecting or prioritizing software applications for redesigning, from amongst multiple applications that provide similar critical business functionalities, user experience is often the deciding parameter. Most organizations are trying to redesign user experience and end-customer experience of their existing IT applications. In the last two decades, many financial institutions have also revamped and reinvented their existing software applications to meet enhanced business processes, but sadly, little attention is given to improve customer or user experience. The software industry was weighed in more on delivering functional competence than on executing design principles.

Retail CIOs are building an omnichannel network to reach their customers in multiple ways. The looming challenge remains the unparalleled speed of changing dynamics, driven primarily by a savvier and demanding new generation of shoppers. With this, CIOs in the retail industry today are facing a 'do or die' situation with building and introducing novel digital experiences for customers.
Although online sales for retailers are growing exponentially, there is still very strong interest in shopping at brick and mortar stores.
