UX trends for big corporationsHello all IxD'ers I'm working on a new presentation on the area of
UX trends for the near and not so near future. I did some research online and read many of the UX blogs to find out what is upcoming. I would love to have it more focused on bigger corporations who are not as flexible and able to quickly make gigantic changes to their system because this is the kind of market we operate in as a company. We mainly do in our department intranets and corporate websites based on big platforms like SharePoint. I collected already some points that might be considered trends today: - Morgan Stanley reported that they expect a bigger and faster shift to web on mobile devices. - Prototyping integrated in design process. We hear from our customers more and more the need to have an early experience or encounter with what has to become the end result. - Branding/Interaction based on user profiles. Based on the level of familiarity or use of the service, the user interface adapts to the needs. First time users see more guiding/explanatory elements etc.. - Increase of behavioral and performance user and service data to base the design on. Nowadays it still happens too often (IMHO) that this information is totally lacking or incomplete due to customer's decisions. But slowly but surely the balance seems to shift, favoring the availability of this kind of data to get better designs. I would love to hear what you think are the UX trends and future expectations. Maybe you have some links to other presentations or have your own ideas to share. Whatever it is thanks in advance! The presentation will be held for all UX enthusiasts within Tieto, the company i'm working for, first. But maybe it will be published later for the pleasure of all. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: UX trends for big corporationsHere's a big shock on the horizon: some big companies will move from
Internet Explorer 6 internally<g>. (I've benchmarked almost 300 intranets including large multinationals like Shell and BP - I never saw anything other than IE6, with the possible exception of the odd IE5 a couple of years ago).

Re: UX trends for big corporationsThere's a move (certainly within our company ~5,000) to offer its employees
iPhones (a move away from BB or as well as) as its standard mobile device. How that changes the internal UX landscape is probably a little too soon to say. Further to that our internal wiki vendor will be offering dedicated iPhone and BB applications (as opposed to mobile web access) to access our internal comms portal. This again will impact on how employees access corporate information and manage their comms too. -- Rob 2009/10/30 Wouter Leistra <wouter.leistra@...> > Hello all IxD'ers I'm working on a new presentation on the area of > UX trends for the near and not so near future.

Re: UX trends for big corporationsHow about the reach versus rich argument coming to the mobile platform. On
the desktop we're developing more web based apps to access them anywhere. But on the mobile smart phone platform there's a native (rich) apps for a better experience or to take advantage of special features, like multi-touch. Wouter, on your point about "First time users see more guiding/explanatory elements etc.." Yahoo's new redesign was a good example of that. Additionally, on our last app we've implemented a guiding & explanation of how things work as part of the guided setup for our app. Sean On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 7:49 AM, Rob Enslin <robenslin@...> wrote: > There's a move (certainly within our company ~5,000) to offer its employees > iPhones (a move away from BB or as well as) as its standard mobile device. > How that changes the internal UX landscape is probably a little too soon to > say.

Re: UX trends for big corporationsOne way to convince management/clients to let IE6 go is to point to
major websites that are dropping support for IE6, such as youtube: <http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/14/youtube-will-be-next-to-kiss-ie6-support-goodbye/> Surely, it would be devastating for the management/clients to not be able to catch youtube videos if they refuse to ugprade? :) In our company, we've also made the decision to drop IE6 from Jan 2010 onwards: <http://shwup.blogspot.com/2009/10/ie6-we-dont-like-you-no-more.html> It's easy for anyone to request for backward compatiblity. If it were free, why not support all browsers since Mosaic? Ok, that's taking it too far, but between Mosaic and supporting only IE8, for example, there's a sweet spot. So, it might help if you bring up the associated cost of backward compatibility. For us, we have found that we've spent an inordinate amount of effort fixing issues on IE6 (stats that we can pull up from our defect database), a browser with declining market share, with time that can be better spent on adding features to improve the site. ls On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 1:23 PM, Jim Drew <cfmdesigns@...> wrote: > Precisely.

Re: UX trends for big corporationsI work for a major financial firm. We are currently testing IE8 and I am on the team that is actively testing. It is interesting how difficult it really is to just upgrade. Many of the internal applications we run do not work in the new IE, and we end up having to run them in IE8's "compatibility mode". And some of the out of the box applications we use for content management also do not work in IE8.
The nature of the problems is fairly vast, so there isn't a clear repeating pattern that can be isolated and adjusted. In addition, since the applications throughout the firm are owned by different teams, it is a huge undertaking to ensure that all of them can be fixed. And if that is the goal, then the effort would need to be coordinated so that the individual teams could upgrade as their workload permits, and thus inform the users of the schedule for the upgrade.

Re: UX trends for big corporationsJust to ask the question: are you evaluating IE7 as well. Especially
with boxed software, it's no surprise that some might fail with the newest browser. IE6 desire is so problematic to me because it is *two* releases back. Not that I personally know details about one IE over another. I only use it when embedded in other apps or with one piece of time management software I have to use which won't run on Chrome or Safari or Firefox. IE is always my last choice. -- Jim Via my iPhone On Nov 2, 2009, at 7:28 AM, Jennifer R Vignone <jennifer.r.vignone@... > wrote: > I work for a major financial firm.

Re: UX trends for big corporationsNo, we aren't testing IE7 and I don't know why. I know that IE8 is a corporate update and they look to implement through the entire firm, but have no answer for why they haven't addressed IE7. If I were to guess, they may have performed an evaluation when I was not part of the testing team and made a decision to not upgrade at that time.
