We have been approached by Microsoft South Africa to partner with them in delivering user experience design solutions for their corporate clients. Our first project is with Standard Bank - I can't say anymore but would dearly love to. The project is basically what every UX designer wishes for: visionary, multi-channel, real world and virtual. It's a wonderful opportunity to work with both Microsoft and Standard Bank.

We would like to add that this marks a significant acknowledgement from two major players of the importance and benefit that UX has to offer. In terms of looking at things from a top down perspective this could mark the beginning of UXD's uptake in South Africa - well, we hope so.
