Using a product is like taking a peek inside a company’s growth journey; one may find signs of dedication, long-held dreams — and room for improvement.
Tech entrepreneur Kate O’Neill once called iteration “the road to improvement,” considering it a process through which a company can discover what’s best for customers — and put it into action. And once organizations act on this knowledge, the opportunity for impact grows greater.
Three local companies — bet365, Duda and FirstBank — have taken great measures to amplify their influence, from rolling out new product integrations to embracing robust strategies. And while each one’s approach to impact may be different, the output is the same: a better experience for customers.
Read on to see how tech teams at these three companies have put in the effort to make products as impactful as possible.
