To celebrate World Usability Day, 3rd November 2005

In support of World Usability Day, Nomensa will be sponsoring the Usability Professionals Association (UPA) Public Technology Award, of which British Airways, BBCi and Nationwide are nominees. The Usability team from Nomensa has written a series of articles in celebration of World Usability Day, which will be published on the day itself.

World Usability Day is the ideal opportunity to share knowledge and expertise with others across many disciplines and industries. Nomensa place particular importance on usability as way of fulfilling the needs of the user in the most effective way using a proven methodology.

The winner of the Nomensa Public Technology Award will be announced on the Nomensa web site on Friday 4th November.

Alex Metcalf, Senior Usability Analyst at Nomensa comments:

Nomensa is committed to improving the quality of everyone’s experiences with technology. World Usability Day draws attention to our field and this essential aspect of modern life and business; I believe it represents an exciting opportunity to demonstrate our passion and dedication, and I look forward to sharing our work and vision.
