The company has demonstrated the successful implementation
of the User-Centered Design (UCD) of technology products.
UCD has been looked upon as the most preferred approach
that a technology design and production company should adopt.
Technology development will loose its direction if the design
does not take into consideration human users' knowledge
and skill capability. Technology should be compatible to
human users' capability to learn and use the product, with
comfort and ease, instead of overwhelming the human users.
As human evolutes, technology shapes human and human shapes
technology. It is this interactive relationship that compel
successful technology design organizations to adopt the
UCD and bring in users needs, ability, and comfort into
consideration at the earliest possible stage in their Research
and Development process.
User-friendliness of the technology product, in this case,
the Chinese input method for computers, is a winning strategy
in the market place. In fact, we can see in this case, to
make a technology product more user-friendly, the designers
have taken note of the aspirations and characteristics of
potential user in their mind.
