Continuing the efforts to bring all the UX groups operating at Hyderabad together, Convergys organized the second Hyderabad UX meet on May 22nd, 2006.

As an indication to the increasing awareness in the User Experience area, we had a larger participation from the various companies this time. The 70+ participants in the event included research scholars, professors, visual designers, usability professionals, application developers, e-Learning architects, senior faculties, heads of departments and managers.

• Mr. Jeremy Ashley, Vice-President-UX Oracle, opened the event with an overview of Oracle’s application user experience processes.
• Mr. Santosh Kumar Korthiwada, Senior Lead, Creative Services, Convergys, walked the audience through the design processes followed at Convergys Learning Solutions.
• Mr. Kaladhar Bapu, Manager, UX, Cordys, carried forward the discussion with a scenario based presentation on designing applications with specific users in context. Bapu’s presentation hit at the nagging problems the User Experience professional face in implementation.
• Mr. Muthu Kumar, UX Analyst, Kanbay concluded the event with a moderated discussion on how to convince clients from UX perspective. The discussion helped bring several real-time UX issues to the fore.
