Hello everyone! I'm Luke Irvine, also known as "The Digital User," hailing from the beautiful landscapes of Ireland. With a rich journey spanning over 18 years in the IT industry, my career has primarily been rooted in Systems Administration. My experience stretches across various facets of the field, including managed services, help desk support, and leading professional service projects.
Throughout my career, one fundamental truth has become evident to me: the cornerstone of any IT endeavour should always be the end-user experience. However, we had one recurring challenge —our toolkit for truly understanding and measuring user engagement with our systems is often lacking. It's my belief that achieving satisfaction for users with these systems is not just an objective but a necessity.
In recent years, the advent of new tools has begun to shift the paradigm, offering unprecedented visibility into the user experience and setting a new industry standard and goal. This emerging focus is what we now refer to as the Digital User Experience, or "DEX." It represents a transformative approach to IT, one where the quality of the user's interaction with technology is placed at the forefront of our priorities. Tools like ControlUp, NexThink, and 1E, among others, have been instrumental in this evolution, enabling a deeper understanding and enhancement of how individuals interact with digital systems, and pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve in user satisfaction.
