Hey IBM, instead of just telling us you care, how about actually creating a delightful experience for ClearCase, ClearQuest or DOORS.
I guess it's easier to simply say "Design" 37 times on a static site, maybe add some bright colors, people of 'diverse' background and a hoodie for effect. Nailed it!
- ritchiea 11y agoDoesn't it seem like they're trying to do that by announcing they're hiring designers?
- thothsscribe 11y agoIBM has hundreds, if not thousands, of products that they own and maintain. Understand that the research for a design, designing it, and then developing it takes months to years to accomplish. IBM won't be able to update all of their products, but they will work on the ones that they can and then carry design consideration to all new products. Thats all a company can do. Same goes for Microsoft, Google, etc. IBM is a bit late to the game is their only issue. Also consider, how are they going to get designers/people who care about design if they don't advertise it first. Yes there are products that need work, but to fix that issue they need to say Design 37 and more times just to get the attention of the right people. I am sure in your line of work as well, things don't just happen immediately because you want it to and sometimes to solve one problem you need to solve two or three others first.
- fallingmeat 11y agook agreed. hope it works!
