On a Way to Success: 5 Main Management Principles

How is UX design related to management? I hear that question quite often. The answer is pretty straightforward: monitoring the end user’s interaction with your design and addressing performance issues is part of UX design. That’s practical management.

UX managers have all kinds of fancy titles, but their responsibilities are the same. The main role of this manager is to actively remake the interface between the business and customer. This is not just the manager of the UX team; sometimes their role is integrated into the marketing department, and sometimes it is performed by the project manager. Whatever the case is, the UX manager defines what a good experience is, and leads the project towards that direction.

How GDPR Regulation Will Affect Web Design & Development?

A web developer has plenty of things to keep in mind while designing & developing a website – from performance to SEO & security to name a few. As a web developer, there are a lot of things that you have to consider when developing websites, but now one more important thing has to be added to your list i.e. GDPR compliance.

Global Data Protection Regulation or GDPR is a new law enacted by the European Union in May 2018. This legislation is designed to ensure the complete data safety of EU citizens when it comes to collection and use of their personal information. So, this law empowers all the EU citizens in regard to the processing of their personal details by any company.

What is an Exclusivity Agreement and When You Should Need One

In the current economic situation, small to medium-sized companies and entrepreneurs are forced to constantly search for creative and unique ways to stay relevant. A common tactic that most companies employ is initiating and closing exclusivity agreements.

Without getting very technical, an exclusivity agreement is a legal arrangement between two or more parties through which the signers all agree to purchase goods and services only from a predetermined list of providers, for a set amount of time.

The exclusivity agreement is closed in the understanding, and commitment, that the parties involved will not seek, under any circumstances, the assistance and services of an entity not explicitly mentioned in the contract.

Now, we understand that this legal jargon might feel a tad overwhelming for some people, but exclusivity contracts are not so hard to comprehend once you understand the mechanics behind them.

In this article, we will explain how these agreements work and help you figure out whether or not your business might need one. For those curious how an exclusivity agreement looks, there are plenty of templates available for download from Templateassistant.com.

Is it Time for Your Company to Integrate Services into a SaaS Model?

Software as a service, or SaaS, applications have become all the rage in today’s business world. In fact, the rollout of integrated, cloud-based platforms not only allows companies to integrate more essential business functions into the cloud but also gives them a means to do so that won’t interrupt day-to-day business practices.

These days, cloud services are integrated via four core services: infrastructure, platform, storage and software. From implementing call center and telecom system services that allow your customers to discuss product/service needs to implementing simple programs like Trello or Ahrefs that help your team plan campaigns, set up projects and discuss upcoming tasks, you simply can’t avoid the transition to an online Saas-driven business model — that is, if you want to survive.

How to Manage Health and Safety Concerns in the Workplace

Before you can focus on anything else as a company, you need to ensure that your employees feel secure and comfortable enough to report safety concerns or injuries.

Failing to maintain compliance with the relevant regulations can lead to legal repercussions as well as decreased productivity.

If a worker does get injured, you will likely have to compensate them. One work injury lawyer in Philadelphia even states that this payment period could last up to 500 weeks.

For most businesses, that’s a cost they’d like to avoid. Balancing these concerns with others related to your business is a constant challenge.
