Related Posts Are the forms on your Website getting a ton of responses? If not, why not? Web form-building app Formstack recently rolled out analytics to help users better understand how their Web forms are being used and identify potential issues in their wording or design. Business sites use Web forms to meet a variety of needs, such as intaking user surveys, allowing users to purchase items or even a displaying simple ‘contact us’ form. Fortunately the somewhat technically-involved process of setting up Web forms has given rise to easy-to-use, WYSIWYG form-building products like Wufoo, JotForm, FormSite and Formstack.Formstack’s new analytics feature gives site owners a detailed look at not only how many people have filled out a given form, but which questions they answered (or didn’t answer) and how many people viewed the form, but decline to fill it out. This metric, known as form abandonment, can be highly useful in spotting user experience issues. Why Tech Companies Need Simpler Terms of Servic… Formstack also now supports A/B testing so you can run multiple versions of a form and see which one performs best. Having too many questions on a form or one question that isn’t worded effectively can have a surprisingly substantial impact on the number of responses received. For some businesses, that can mean the difference between getting a lead or losing one.

Working Better by Focusing on UXOver the past decade, mobile technologies have probably had the most dramatic impact on how we work, but advances in infrastructure will pave the way for the next big shift. Wireless technologies have improved by leaps and bounds. Advances in wireless display (WiDi) and wireless gigabit (WiGig) technologies have created the very real possibility of a wire-free workplace. They drive evolution in a truly revolutionary way.Consider the impact of something as simple as creating a “smart” conference room with a large presentation screen that automatically pairs with your 2 in 1 or other device, freeing you from adapters and cords. The meeting room could be connected to a central calendar and mark itself as “occupied” so employees always know which rooms are free and which ones are in use. Simple tweaks like this keep the focus on the content of meetings, not the distractions caused by peripheral frustrations.The workstation is another transformation target. Wireless docking, auto-connectivity, and wireless charging will dramatically reduce clutter in the workplace. The powerful All-in-One PC with the Intel Core i5 processor will free employees from the tethers of their desktop towers. Simple changes like removing cords and freeing employees from their cubicles can have huge impacts for companies — and their bottom lines.The Benefits of an Evolved WorkplaceCreating the right workplace for employees is one of the most important things companies can do to give themselves an advantage. By investing in the right infrastructure and devices, businesses can maximize employee creativity and collaboration, enhance productivity, and attract and retain top talent. Evolving the workplace through technology can empower employees to do their best work with fewer distractions and frustrations caused by outdated technology.If you’re interested in learning more about what I’ve discussed in this blog, tune in to the festivities and highlights from CeBit 2015Opens in a new window.To continue this conversation on Twitter, please use #ITCenter. And you can find me on LinkedIn here. Workplace transformation is not a new concept. It’s a piece of our evolution. As new generations enter the workforce, they bring new expectations with them; what the workplace meant for one generation doesn’t necessarily fit with the next. Think about the way we work in 2015 versus the way we worked in, say, 2000.In just 15 years, we’ve developed mobile technology that lets us communicate and work from just about anywhere. Robust mobile technologies like tablets and 2 in 1s enable remote workers to video conference and collaborate just as efficiently as they would in the office. As these technologies evolve, they change the way we think about how and where we work. read more

The all-you-can-watch company MoviePass that’s been dubbed by some as a “Netflix for theatres” hasn’t revealed plans to launch in Canada, but a competitor that’s facing a patent infringement lawsuit is now offering Canadians a service that it says is more sustainable and less too good to be true.Nathan Denette / THE CANADIAN PRESS Twitter Advertisement There’s also an option to see three movies in a month for $15.99, and there are discounts for committing to a year of the service in advance or getting pairs of tickets each month. After signing up, customers receive a card in the mail to use for purchasing tickets directly from an eligible theatre.Sinemia also operates in Turkey, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States, where it’s facing a patent infringement lawsuit.In explaining the company’s business model, Oguz said the company hopes to supplement the revenue from its ticket plans with advertising on its website, corporate sales and eventually, deals with theatre companies to sell popcorn and other concessions within its app.“Our goal is to create a bigger economy with a whole ecosystem and we gain a profit margin from all of the combination (of revenue streams),” Oguz said.Thus far, while Sinemia offers tickets to Cineplex’s venues, there’s no partnership in place with the country’s dominant theatre chain.“We have no relationship with them so we aren’t in a position to speak to their operations here in Canada or elsewhere,” said Cineplex spokeswoman Sarah Van Lange, who declined an interview request.A request for comment from Landmark Cinemas was not returned.Canadian moviegoers have been discussing Sinemia’s launch on Reddit and at the website Redflagdeals.com, where a discussion has generated more than 1,000 posts so far.Most of the chatter has been positive, although some have posted about customer service issues, including receiving order confirmation messages in Turkish.Oguz said the response in Canada so far has been “really encouraging” given the company launched with “almost no marketing.”“People were waiting for this service,” he said. “Canada’s market is a huge and great opportunity.”In February, MoviePass announced it was suing Sinemia in the U.S. alleging patent infringement that “has harmed MoviePass’ existing customer relationships … ability to obtain new customers and form new customer relationships.”While popular with many American moviegoers, MoviePass has struggled to get theatre companies onside with its business model.It’s parent company, Helios and Matheson Analytics, warned in a financial report that the future of MoviePass is in “substantial doubt” because it “has incurred losses since its inception and has a present need for additional funding.”Adam Aron, CEO of the giant theatre chain AMC, has also called MoviePass’ pricing “unsustainable.”— With files from The Associated Press Advertisement Advertisement TORONTO — The all-you-can-watch company MoviePass that’s been dubbed by some as a “Netflix for theatres” hasn’t revealed plans to come to Canada, but its competitor has quietly launched here.Sinemia, founded by Turkish entrepreneur Rifat Oguz, provides a service that it says is more sustainable and less too good to be true.While a US$9.95 a month subscription to MoviePass allows American consumers to go see one non-premium screening a day, Sinemia charges $10.99 to watch two movies a month, including one in any premium format except VIP. Even Cineplex’s pricey $24.99 ticket for a 4DX screening in 3D is available. Facebook read more
