In UX design there really are “rules of thumb.” Since most people navigate on their phones with their thumb while holding the phone in one hand (right or left), what you put in that area is key to the user experience.

While companies struggle with their digital transformation application backlog, a second problem often is waiting just around the corner—the difficulty getting users to download or adopt the applications.

Almost anyone working with or on an applications development team has at least heard about low-code development and its associated tools and platforms–and almost everyone has questions about them. For answers to those questions, an independent, analytical view of what’s really happening becomes extremely valuable. That’s where John Rymer, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, comes in.

Vermont Electric Company (VELCO) was facing a big problem: their application development platform was being shut down by a patent troll. They had seven applications that needed to be rebuilt in a matter of months along with a backlog of new applications.

Often companies look into a technology to understand it and then look around to see what problems it can be applied to. This is the wrong way to go about it. The problem should always be at the center and then the question becomes, “what are the best technologies to solve it?” The latter was exactly the scenario I recently came across with one of our biggest Retail industry customers, The Michaels Company.

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! While you’re busy trying to avoid black cats and walking under ladders (or not, if you don’t believe in that sort of thing), check out this week’s edition of This Week in Digital.
