The interaction designer works as an advocate for your users and will ensure that a completed piece of software meets the needs of both your business and your end-users .

Clients and users demand that software is intuitive and responsive.

• The average software review gives more than one third of its weight to the user interface of the software.
• User Interface Design is a basic course that is typically optional for the majority of undergraduate software engineers. This means that software engineers rarely have a good understanding of interface design issues.

A solid interaction design process improves the intuitiveness of software and speeds up development.

• 63% of software projects fail because of mistakes made in the requirements phase.
• Interaction design methodology is a proven process that ensures requirements are correct and complete.
• Prototyping ensures the final software is both efficient and easy-to-use, AND it provides a good way to ensure satisfaction with the final product before it is necessary to make expensive software engineering changes.
