Technology Leadership Inspires the Extraordinary User Experience
By Jeofrey Bean
The success of people interacting with your technology is a critical part of the customer experience for your potential and existing customers. You can inspire people to go into the future with an extraordinary customer and user experience.
Putting the time, money and expertise up front to develop a pleasing IT user experience for people who interact with your technology gives people confidence and motivation to embrace the new. It is like a light, people will go to places in the future they would not see or understand if using the technology was a cumbersome and dark experience.

He’s an accomplished Information Technology (IT) leader with experience at Deloitte Consulting, Genoptix and NBC Universal. – “If your newly developed IT based service dovetails with a known and desired need then you’ve got it easy. Produce it, market it, sell it.”

The emergency number was posted at the crossing and printed in materials both drivers should have possessed, and their training should have told them when to call it and where to find it.
Say the Word: Voice Systems can Reduce Some Types of Distraction
It's hard to resist the temptation to do two things at once, even when one of those things is driving. To make multitasking easier and safer, automakers and technology companies have provided drivers with the ability to use voice commands to operate smartphones and infotainment systems.
Voice systems do help drivers keep their eyes on the road when compared with manual interfaces, but they don't eliminate visual distraction altogether, a new study by researchers from IIHS and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's AgeLab shows.
An Autonomous Car is Going Cross-Country for the First Time
