There is a growing focus on user experience and application programming interfaces (APIs) with the ongoing launch of digital propositions in the banking and lending sectors driving this. This is mainly due to the requirements of “millennial” customers.
Many of these customers are used to the look and feel of gaming software, as a result smart phone technology is increasingly being used to deal with applying for and servicing financial services products. To get ahead of this trend, there are currently IT development teams in financial services software businesses working hard to ensure that they deliver a great user experience to users of their software.

Our goal with Search always has been to help people quickly and easily find the information that they’re looking for. Over the years, the amount and format of information available on the web has changed drastically—from the proliferation of images and video, to the availability of 3D objects you can now view in AR.
The search results page, too, has changed to help you discover these new types of information and quickly determine what’s most useful for you. As we continue our ongoing efforts to improve Search and provide a modern and helpful experience, today we’re unveiling a visual refresh of the mobile search results page to better guide you through the information available on the web.

The cloud is to innovation what airplanes are to wanderlust: a means of faster and more fruitful accomplishment. There are a number of cloud applications available for driving productivity, from note-taking apps to accounting software, but for businesses looking to drive change, nothing beats online project management software.

Choosing the right user feedback software, or any type of software for that matter, is a very delicate process for many businesses. Typically, the team (or role) appointed to choosing the software will start by gathering key criteria that is considered important for the business. Then they must find a suitable vendor that meets that criteria and hope that the implementation process goes as smoothly as possible. On the surface this may seem like a fairly simple task, however, according to an IBM study, only 40% (less than half!) of IT projects meet schedule, budget and quality goals.

For the past few months, I’ve contributed to ChRIS (Childrens’ Research Integration Service) as a user experience (UX) designer.ChRIS is a cloud-based, open source framework for processing medical imaging data; it was originally conceived by a team at Boston Children’s Hospital and successfully executed with help from the Mass Open Cloud (MOC) and Red Hat.
Working on the ChRIS project is fulfilling in a direct way; it applies open source technology and principles to improve patient care. Doctors shouldn’t have to be computer scientists to be able to use the best innovations in medical image processing technology to improve their patients’ outcomes.
Enabling doctors to make use of leading-edge, yet frustratingly esoteric, software to improve patient care is an example of the larger challenge of UX in open source. Open source software is ubiquitous: it’s running and improving systems and services around the world, and sadly has a well-earned reputation for terrible UX. Technology’s core functionality is not enough: a great UX is necessary to unlock its full potential!

In recent years, developing a great user experience has become critical for success in software development. With so many different options for products, users have the power and freedom to choose to use those companies with which they have the best experience.

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.

Software has never been more accessible than it is today. User interface design has never been more straightforward, or more standardised. Today, we can all enjoy websites, products and applications without having to trade in hours of training and technical know-how.
This widespread accessibility seems patently beneficial. After all, software proficiency is no longer the sole realm of programmers and IT experts. Technology has got over its elitism problem, and become inclusive to users of almost all skill levels.
The question is: is this digital ‘dumbing down’ as desirable as it first appears? What we can gain in ease of use, we can also lose regarding user control. There is a fine line between dull and primitive; between refined and reduced. Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy answer as to just how quick and easy software should be.

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.

To kickoff the new year, Mopinion has just launched a new feature within its platform: customisable inbox filters and views. This new feature will give users total control of the views they create in their inbox of feedback items. It enables users to combine key data fields such as scores, browsers, texts, URLS and more – which provides for very specific views.
