10 Design Trends 2015 - UX & UI Trends for Mobile SolutionsDMI
Do you create or provide a mobile app or web solution? Even if you already have the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) nailed down to a T, you're never quite finished. With different design elements and solutions going in and out of fashion, you constantly have to ensure that your solution doesn't start to feel dated.
Here's our shortlist of the most exciting things going on in UX/UI Design right now and what we can expect to see in this space in a not too distant future!
MWC 2015 - A Recap of the Key Announcements, Highlights and TrendsDMI
Mobile World Congress 2015 was the best and most exciting congress to date. It showed how mobility is transforming every industry, our infrastructure, society and our daily lives. This is a full recap covering all the key themes from this year; the big device launches, Internet of Things, wearables, personalised consumer experiences based on big data, 5G, AdTech, analytics, privacy and security, and more.
Let us know in the comments if we missed anything from the event that was important to you; is there a key trend, technology or company that you think should have been included?
We’ve asked customers and partners, spoken to industry experts and made our own conclusions and predictions to help financial organisations succeed in mobile
in 2015.
Who are the mobile innovators and disruptors of the financial industry? How will banks tackle mobile security threats in 2015? What will Apple Pay mean for the financial institutions? What’s the regulatory impact of new mobile technology such as wearables? How do financial institutions stay on top of mobile technology with an accelerated pace of innovation? How much longer will employees of financial firms be tied to a desktop? You'll find the answers in this presentation.
How is mobility transforming the enterprise? What is the fizzle that drives success? What are the key tools and trends to keep in mind for 2015?
Every year we advise our customers and partners on the top trends in mobile and what it means for them. This year we've expanded this by looking specifically at enterprise mobility trends based on insights from customers, research and more.
Will 2015 be the year of wearables? Will Apple Pay succeed? Why are enterprise apps getting more expensive and complex? What's happening with Big data? How should developers treat phablets?
Every year we analyse and summarise the key mobile trends for the following year and share with customers and partners. The main objective is to keep you up to date on what’s going on and give you insights into what these trends may mean for you. Last year our mobility predictions and UX/UI trend presentations were used in hundreds of workshops, lectures and jointly got more than 100,000 views on Slideshare.
The Top 10 Mobile Trends for 2015 are more exciting than ever as we are experiencing explosive growth in almost every area including mobile usage (apps and web), mobile commerce, payments, enterprise apps, Internet of Things, wearables, nearables (sensors) and invincibles, data driven mobile services (big data), mobility in healthcare, omni-channel retail and innovations in mobile application development.
UX design is not a step in the process, it's in everything we do. More than anything it is a project philosophy, not just a set of tools, methods and deliverables.
In this presentation we explain how you can differentiate through design, why user experience design matters as well as share our knowledge around all the activities that helps ensure a great UX/UI design.
2014 has turned out to be another incredible year of growth in mobile usage across the globe and this is set to continue in 2015. See how you can win the mobile user in 2015.

History
Historically, Cambodia used to be a great empire during
the Angkorian era which flourished for over 600 years,
dominating most of southeast Asia mainland. Until
the Angkor fall in the 15th century, several impressive
temples were built such as the world heritage site
Angkor Wat, which is now the biggest tourist attraction
in Cambodia.
After the fall, Cambodia was controlled by it’s neigh-
bouring countries, until 1863 when it became a
protectorate of France and regained independence
first in 1953. During the Vietnam war, Cambodia was
greatly affected, the Khmer Rouge then gained
huge power and the country went through
very difficult times. However, since 1991, the
country and its people have made a successful
recovery, with its economy growing strongly.

6. Now
Periods of internal unrest last century left Cambodia
struggling with numerous challenges and sociopolit-
ical issues in the 90’s. However, even though Cambodia
was considered a developing country, things have
improved exponentially, and it now has one of
the best economic records in Asia, with growth
averaging 6% over the last decade. Agriculture,
textiles, garments, construction and tourism are the
leading sectors.

7. PHNOM PENH
Phnom Penh is the capital and largest city in Cambodia.
Located on the banks of the Tonlé Sap and Mekong River,
Phnom Penh has been the national capital since French
colonization of Cambodia, and has grown to become the
nation’s center of economic and industrial activities, as
well as the center for security, politics, cultural heritage,
and diplomacy of Cambodia.
Known as the “Pearl of Asia,” it is considered one of
the loveliest French-built cities in Indochina in the
1920s. Phnom Penh, along with Siem Reap and
Sihanoukville, are significant global and domestic
tourist destinations for Cambodia. Founded
in 1434, the city is noted for its beautiful and
historical architecture and attractions. There are
a number of surviving French colonial buildings
scattered along the grand boulevards.

10. MEET BELINDAHR BUSINESS PARTNER
Raising Kids in the Kingdom of Wonder
I moved to Phnom Penh in September 2014, with my
three children aged 10, 8 & 5. At first I was worried about
how the children would settle in, whether they would
make friends. Would they have access to sports and
leisure activities, what could we do on weekends and
the BIG question- is it safe for my family?
All my concerns were quickly diminished within weeks
of arriving. My children settled very quickly and were
flourishing in their new school environment and made
friends easily. This quickly transpired into play dates,
sleepovers and birthday parties. My children are never
short of things to do after school or on weekends.
Healthy competition to provide quality education has
resulted in some excellent international schools which
are attended by both expatriate and local children.
This multinational exposure is something you can’t put
a price on, and you can’t teach at home. Exposure to a
foreign culture in the form Cambodia has to offer is
another horizon-broadening benefit.
Life is easy in Phnom Penh, and that extends to raising
kids. Housing and help are both cheap. Living in Phnom
Penh enables my husband and I to work full time but still
enjoy ample quality time with our children as we are not
stressed and busy with the daily chores of a house. We
have the luxury of a full time nanny and a cook/cleaner
so any time out of the office is “our” time with each
other and time with our children.
Most importantly DMI MAS supports employees
with families. We have an education policy to
assist with the financial costs of international
schooling for school aged children; 25% of
school fees in the first year, 50% in the second
and 75% every year after. This is based on the
tuition fees at ICAN international school.
Cambodia is fun, don’t be scared to move
here. Just do it. Relax and enjoy all Phnom
Penh has to offer and give your children
the opportunity of a lifetime!
11. MEET JEPPE
Jeppe Mariager-Lam, 25, is working as a Technical
Project Manager since 2013 at the Phnom Penh office,
but moved from Denmark to Cambodia already in 2011.
Working at DMI MAS in Phnom Penh, what
would you say are the key benefits, which you
wouldn’t experience at home?
For me, one of the major benefits with living and working
in Cambodia is the cultural diversity that I experience
every day – I work in an office with people from 20+
nationalities, and run projects with team members and
clients from all over the world.
Compared to living in Denmark, how would you
describe life in Cambodia?
Additionally to the benefits at work, comes the standard
of living – It is easy to find good and affordable products
and services in Cambodia, whether it is housing, food
or consumer goods. This means that I can put away
money for travel or savings - In the last year alone, I
have been to Thailand, Vietnam, Bali and New Zealand
on holidays, which for sure would have been a lot more
difficult in Europe.
Do you think working abroad makes a difference
career-wise?
Yes, definitely. My career took a giant leap forward when I
was hired by DMI – I would be able to get a similar position
in Denmark, but the size of projects and the responsibility
would have been much smaller than what I have been
managing over the past few years. Everything here just
moves faster it seems, and I think that just a few years at
DMI will allow me to fast forward 5 years in my career
at home.
Apart from work, what other activities have you
experienced while living in Cambodia?
Being in Cambodia allows me to get involved in a lot
of good causes – for example, I have helped start a
school for under privileged children on one of the
islands close to Phnom Penh. When my wife
and I first found the school, it was a run by only
one person volunteering his time to teach 25
children sitting on the ground under one
of the village houses. Both my wife and
myself got very actively involved, not only
by sponsoring a school building and a
solar power system, but also by going
there to teach during the weekends. In
the past year, the school has grown from
25 children to over 100 children, and the
smiles on their face and their hunger for
knowledge makes it 100% worth it for
us to go there as often as we can.
13. #1 THE CULTURE
Cambodia is developing at a leisurely pace, and that’s why
Phnom Penh is perhaps the closest you can get to a true picture
of how one would imagine east Asia. The heat, the rainy
season, affordable food, scooters, tuk tuks, temples, and
buildings marked by its history.
14. #2 FOOD CULTURE
The food in Phnom Penh is awesome. It doesn’t cost much, and
there is a restaurant from almost every food culture in the world.
Cambodia also has the best pepper and rice in the world, while the
markets are full of fresh fruits and vegetables, grown traditionally
and without pesticides. You’ll be spoiled over here, that’s a fact.
15. #3 ACCESSIBILITY
Phnom Penh is located inland, however a trip in any direction will take
you to a new adventure. From the white sandy beaches on the west-
coast, to the green mountains in the north or the historical township and
temples in Siem Reap- all are great weekend escapes. Cambodia is
surrounded by other amazing Asian countries, waiting to be explored!
16. #4 A PLACE TO RELAX
In Phnom Penh the traffic is busy, and the streets full of people. The
lively atmosphere is part of the charm of the city, but everyone needs
a little peace and quiet at times. Luckily there are many great pools
and relaxing massage spas to escape to, so affordable that you make
it a habit. The tropical paradise islands of Koh Rong and Koh Kong are
only a few hours away.
17. #5 THE PEOPLE
Even though the Cambodians have suffered a great deal during
the past decades, their attitude towards life is admirable – always
looking forward and not backwards, most often with a smile. And
we’re lucky to also have the funniest locals in our office!
