Usability in the Unisys World

We've all heard of Unisys, but what do they really do? To learn some of the answers, join us at the November 11th meeting of the Usability Professionals' Association, Minnesota Chapter monthly meeting. Our host at Unisys, Kris Betcher, will review some recent projects and give us a tour of the Unisys usability lab.

As Unisys has continued their business transformation, Kris has worked hard to ensure that usability is an integral component of their products and services. Individuals that are new to usability will appreciate an opportunity to see the formal usability testing lab and hear about recent projects, while experienced usability practitioners will appreciate learning how she succeeded in a company traditionally known by its mainframe products.
