Oh No, Not More Unusable Business Software!

0 comments

I have just written an article over at E-consultancy entitled ‘Usable Internal Business Systems – Just a Pipedream?‘.

I would recommend having a read as the usability issues that I talk about are what we have all experienced during our working lives, and there is extensive research provided which proves that the majority of business systems and software solutions in the market don’t value usability anywhere near as highly as we would always advocate.

The article includes my:

  • evaluation of the enterprise level software market
  • industry analysis on the lack of importance placed on usability in software
  • advice on how businesses can attempt to improve the usability of their existing systems
  • advice on how User-Centered Design should be embraced for businesses looking at bringing in new internal software systems
  • summary of why usable internal business systems shouldn’t be a pipedream
