PTG Global eNewsletter - Intuitive

At PTG Global, we make technology work by getting the design right the first time.

Hi,

February saw PTG Global's profile raised and our approach to User Interface design validated in a number of leading publications including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Melbourne Age and Online Banking Review. Following on from similar exposure in BRW and Anthill in January.

I was also invited to speak at a Government Enterprise Architecture forum in Canberra and the response I received from the IT people attending was fantastic. They loved the concept of an implementable 'blueprint' and thought that what we do significantly improves the ability of Business and IT to communicate with each other. This, combined with executive level feedback in our major accounts, not only confirms the validity of our approach to user interface design but also clearly identifies the fact that XPDesign is unique.

Cheers and have a great month!
