What does it cost?

Scenario:

A software company considers whether to streamline their user interface to raise productivity.

A typical set of performed tasks can be simplified by conducting detailed usability research.

Computer Use

Potential Savings:

If the average time to complete a typical task is reduced from five minutes to four, the savings for a company of ten users with an average salary of $50,000:

Daily: 20% higher productivity

Yearly: Former production of ten employees is accomplished by eight, saving $100,000 per year.

Over five years that's a half-million dollars in savings!

Software UX Design Research

Our services improve user interaction, collaboration, and engagement with human-computer interfaces to enhance the user experience (UX).

Simple, usable, aesthetically pleasing, and productive user-interfaces are paramount at Situated Research.

Avoid these common usability pitfalls:

  • Making usability an afterthought rather than incorporating it into your software design process
  • Not getting in touch with your users and fully understanding their needs
  • Avoiding a participatory design process that breaks down user workflows & interactions in order to construct efficient and productive user processes

Whether you would like to independently verify the work of your own usability team, or you could use usability specialists to supplement your design process, we guarantee that we will uncover the often overlooked details of your users' behaviors and interactions.

Our process involves:

  1. Investigating the current situation and use of your software
  2. Gathering data and footage of users, in the actual operating environment
  3. A rigorous, in-depth interaction analysis of user behaviors and interactions
  4. A succinct report describing issues that require resolution or further redesign

Our cutting-edge approach draws from a multi-disciplinary background to construct a very detailed picture of actual use that informs the software design process.
