Seen not long ago as “nice-to-haves” or “extras,” mobile devices and apps continue to revolutionize the way organizations operate. Workers expect to be able to do their jobs from wherever they happen to be — whether that’s in the office, in the field, at home or in an airplane terminal. Agencies that can’t meet those demands find themselves falling behind when it comes to attracting and empowering top talent. But until now, a full mobile platform wasn’t available.

Many people can relate to the scene from the movie “Office Space” when several employees take a baseball bat to an office printer.
Although the film made for a good laugh, challenges with office hardware and software do have a serious effect on the business. Ineffective tools and technology lead to frustration and, in many instances, result in employees disengaging. And worker disengagement is the last thing companies need, as digital transformation ups the competition ante. Organizations are depending heavily on employees to help them capitalize on the latest opportunities within the new digital economy.

In my previous blog post 6 Design Alternatives to Avoid (Evil) Slideshows, I outlined six design alternatives to avoid slideshows. The response to that blog post was great — who knew there were so many kindred spirits who disliked slideshows?
From the feedback I received, the number one question was why are slideshows so bad in the first place?

Earlier this year, 60,000 technology experts from 170 countries descended on Lisbon, Portugal, to take part in Web Summit, the world’s largest tech conference. As part of Web Summit, I attended MoneyConf, an insurtech and fintech conference, where the world’s leading insurance companies, banks, tech firms and disruptive startups met.

Google has made mobile page speed a priority for the past couple of years. It introduced Accelerated Mobile Pages in October 2015 as part of a broad initiative to speed up web browsing on mobile devices. The following year, the company emphasized websites that used AMP more prominently in its search results and on Google News, per TechCrunch.

Mopinion now offers a more secure user login process for Mopinion users with Two-Factor Authentication (or 2FA). Two-Factor Authentication is an extra layer of security that requires users to submit not only the username and password, but also an additional piece of information that can only be known to the user. This additional layer of security aims to further minimise risk and protect businesses from an online security breach.

There’s a short history of publishers fancying themselves as technology companies and building a business selling their tech to other publishers. Publishers realized that building a whole new side business around licensing their tech is a headache and that they needed to focus on what they’re good at, and leave the tech to others.

We all have our own story of how we have come to understand UX. I guess it’s difficult to come to a mutual understanding of what exactly it is now, especially with the pace design is evolving. Many are under the impression UX is strictly limit to digital products whereas Industrial Designers like me want to make the most of digital, physical and sensory experiences whenever is possible. I think as it continues to evolve this is the direction UX design will eventually move in. But straight to my point anyway.
