The document discusses the importance of usability in product design. It defines usability and outlines its benefits for both users and developers. Case studies are presented showing how usability testing and redesign led to improved user experiences and business outcomes for different websites and products. The roles of usability professionals in gathering user requirements and refining designs based on testing are also overviewed. The document stresses that usability should be incorporated early in the design process and made routine through organizational changes, dedicated staff, and infrastructure.

Leveraging Technology in Graduate AdmissionsMarcus Hanscom
Presented at the 2009 NAGAP Annual Conference in New York City.
Scope: Limited staffing, shrinking budgets, and extended work hours have admissions offices scrambling for means to effectively recruit students. Recent strides in “Web 2.0” technologies have allowed offices that are struggling a way out: giving students the power to view individual, customized admission information – in real-time - related to not only their program of interest, but also admissions status, important deadlines, and more. This session will discuss how the University of New Haven has reaped the benefits of offering personalized admission information to its graduate students. By utilizing Hobsons’ Connect2 software, the Graduate Admissions Office has created personalized “VIP” pages and automated communications to give students access to admissions information at the touch of a button, eliminating the need to call or email admissions staff. Automating and personalizing e-communications and admission status “snail mail” will also be discussed.

Beyond Usability Testing: Assessing the Usefulness of Your Designhawleymichael
Usability tests are meant to find usability problems. If your question is, “where are the usability problems in this design”, usability testing is right for you. With usability testing, can study how well someone can get from point A to point B and where are the problems along the way. Finding usability problems is the focus, and the method works great.
But, we are finding that many of the questions business sponsors and stakeholders have are not about finding usability problems. The questions they have are more about the overall usefulness of a design, its potential for success, and how well it meets expectations.
This presentation will define usefulness research, show how it is different from usability tests, and offer different approaches for asking the right questions of users. Whether you think this is slap-your-forehead obvious or a method that needs to be expanded and refined, we seek to have a lively conversation.

The objective of usability activities at the implementation stage are to ensure that detailed design takes account of usability principles.
This can be achieved by:
use of style guides and design guidelines
ensuring that rapid prototyping activities incorporate usability

Usability: whats the use? Presented by We are Sigma and PRWDNexer Digital
For websites, good usability is a matter of survival. If a website is difficult to use, people leave. If the homepage fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave. If users get lost on a website, they leave. For intranets and applications the question is one of productivity. In many organisations employees waste inordinate amounts of time searching for and assimilating the information they need to do their jobs. This lost time has a real, tangible value so ROI for designing internal systems with User Experience in mind, and spending some time testing and improving the usability of the system, is pretty compelling.
As people with a strong User Experience focus we don’t need to be convinced of the value of good usability, but for many companies who are thinking of revamping their site, intranet or portal it isn’t quite so clear cut.

UX BASIS is a process and a set of tools to help your organization engage with your users through the online products that you develop. By building an experience around the user, it will enable you to answer their needs whilst ensuring the needs of your business are also fulfilled.
Evidence based design creates a greater value for your business and also encourages collaboration between your teams and results in knowledge sharing between individuals.
This talk was given at a meeting of web project managers (organised by J.Boye) in May 2010.
Usability testing (or user testing) involves measuring the ease with which users can complete common tasks on your website. The results of the analysis are a huge eye-opener and their implementation often leads to:
Increased sales and task completion and a high rate of return site visitors
A greatly improved understanding of your customers’ needs
A significant reduction in call centre enquiries

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

14. Usability and its value Business – If your users don’t understand how to use something, they may get frustrated and use someone else’s. If some part of your business makes life difficult for them, you can bet they’ll make business difficult for you. Success – Success is likely if you create an offering that delights your intended audience. The only way to achieve delighted users is to create what they want and in a form that they find intuitive. Return – Solutions that match the needs of the user can dramatically improve customer satisfaction , which in turn translates into increased revenue and customer loyalty. Investment – Studies show that for every dollar a company invests in developing usable software, the company receives $10 - $100 in benefit and wins customer satisfaction and loyalty too. Other studies show that 80 % of maintenance costs are spent on unforeseen user requirements, and only 20 % are due to failures
