Web and mobile applications have become more sophisticated than ever. End users have become accustomed to consuming services via their devices and browsers, rather than physically visiting the bank, or a retail store or calling a travel agent.
But beyond simply having a web or mobile application, users expect a flawless digital experience, and this requirement is growing in importance. This represents a critical juncture for both vendors and users as a functional, well designed, and performant experience often impacts the users’ brand selection and more critically, the success of the business.
