Experience Benchmarking

Change Sciences 2012 benchmarking reports are based on a rigorous blend of methodologies and proprietary technology to offer the most detailed coverage possible.

New for 2012, Change Sciences UX Live™ reports are based on our new UX Live experience benchmarking technology. UX Live is an online usability and user experience testing tool specially designed for user experience benchmarking. It allows for quantitative comparison of user task execution across sites. UX Live makes it possible to see which sites are easiest to use, most informative and persuasive based on the interactions and feedback of real users interacting with sites.

Also new for 2012, Change Sciences UX Expert™ process makes it possible to perform benchmarks and identify best practices in areas hard to reach through other methodologies. This includes critical areas like benchmarks and best practices for multi-screen device proliferation, social media, social media support, and personal financial management trends.

In addition to these two new report types, we will continue to deploy our game-changing Kantuit™ simulation benchmarking technology. Kantuit is a powerful tool for comparing how people experience highly interactive processes like OAO.
