We are excited to kick off the Spring 2023 ABD/SDS Seminar Series. This first session will be a virtual panel, with three thought leaders from around the globe. Ask any business executive about how they rate their corporate applications, and you will likely receive scores in the bottom quartile. Why is that? We believe that is not just the fact that the business applications were designed to follow and optimize business processes, but also the fact that the users' expectations have skyrocketed due to what we use in our everyday life outside of work! The B2C(Business to Customer) applications that fill the home page on our phones are beautifully designed, intuitive and fast. These B2C applications have access to large amounts of user interaction data that is used to optimize and segment user interaction. So, what can we do to make B2B applications as intuitive, effective, and user-friendly? Join a very renowned panel that will discuss this topic in detail.
