Designing A Game-Changing User Experience, Presented by SAP

Tuesday at 7 AM Pacific Time/10 AM Eastern Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel

The impact of design and user experience (UX) on business success is profound. Game-changing user experiences are the number one way to ensure customer satisfaction and enduring loyalty in today’s competitive marketplace.

Design, however, is much more than the way a product looks. More importantly, it is how it works and how it feels.

Whether that’s using a smartphone app, creating a purchase order, or evaluating the success of your corporate strategy, how people experience your products and services has a direct and significant impact on your brand perception and corporate revenue.

Hands-free user interfaces, inclusive design, conversational ux, artificial intelligence and more are shaping the way people work today and will work in the not-too-distant future.

Listen in as leading experts in design and business discuss how today’s advances in user experience will affect tomorrow’s workplace.
