TBIG Designs Easy-To-Use Software

 

Easy To Use Software

Respects the intelligence of the user Recognizes that users are very busy Provides a favorable return on investment soon Helps users achieve their goals.

Easy to use software respects the intelligence of the user. It does not insult the user with inane error messages. It remembers the preferences of the user. It provides choices that are simple and straightforward. It takes advantage of the memory and speed of modern technology to help the user get into the flow of the work quickly. When the tools for work are so natural that they become invisible to the worker, the thinking process is not interrupted and high productivity occurs.

 

Easy to use software recognizes that users are very busy. Users don't have time for hours of training or searches through cryptic user guides. Extensive user training is always required when software is not intuitive. Software that is intuitive can be learned quickly and allows the user to concentrate on work, not on the tools used to do work.

 

Easy to use software provides a favorable return on investment soon. Software should increase the quality of work and productivity of users or reduce costs enough to pay for itself within a year. When software helps increase the quality of users' work, fewer errors occur. Downstream errors can be costly. On the other hand, software that is difficult to use becomes a bad investment. It wastes valuable resources. It creates stress and friction within an organization.

 

If software is designed to be easy to use, a significant investment in training is not needed. TBIG designs software that requires minimal training while providing the users with an effective tool to accomplish their goals.

 

Easy to use software helps users achieve their goals. Both organizations and individuals are users of software. Organizations purchase software that helps realize their mission. For example, an interior design firm working on a large commercial project creates a lengthy document specifying all the materials that will be purchased and installed – the spec book. Employees of this design firm must create this document, which can consume much time. Software that helps the design firm create the specifications efficiently and get installation completed on time, without costly errors, increases the profitability of the firm. Easy-to-use software helps the interior design firm achieve organizational goals.

 

Professional goals are related to the performance and career of the  individual user. If the software helps the user create higher quality work, it increases the likelihood that the user will receive excellent performance evaluations,  get pay increases, be promoted, and get job offers. For example, a professional interior designer spends valuable time creating specifications for the rooms in a new hotel. If the software she uses reduces the number of hours required significantly, she has more time to spend on creating great designs. Great designs win awards and generate referrals. Easy-to-use software helps the interior designer achieve professional goals.

 

Easy to use software helps both organizations and individuals achieve their goals.
