Mastering the Obvious

This brochure expands upon why ease of use is critical to e-business. In e-business, success follows the path of least resistance. It depends on accessibility, reliability, security and usability of core applications. These applications must be easy to use the first time they are used or your customer may become someone else's customer. Nobody buys ease of use, but nobody buys products without it either. Read about IBM's User-Centered Design (UCD). See why IBM's Thinkpad Team and DB2 Universal database have been so successful. And read in detail about IBM's overall approach to make IT easy.

Usability First

This website provides information and resources for key issues related to usability in website and software design. We believe that helping people do their work in an effective and enjoyable way should be the top priority in design because if a product is not usable, people will not use it.
