User experience – Choreographing multichannel experiences
Creating integrated multichannel experiences is a complex challenge that requires new techniques and new tools. A good user experience is not just about a usable information architecture and a great design. It is also about meeting - or even exceeding - the experiences of your customers across wherever they connect with your brand. So forget about the traditional online/offline silos and learn how to coordinate the effort and create valuable multichannel experiences.
