Users Don't Have to Suffer in the Cloud
summary
Argues that a hub-and-spoke UX layer preserves data integrity while letting backend systems (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS like Salesforce) change without disrupting users; cites a DOS-based product that kept customers for ~20 years and competing markets anchored by 30+ year incumbents. Recommends Google's HEART framework to measure happiness, engagement, task success and churn, and advocates inclusive design: shadow users, build with them, create fast feedback loops. Claims this reduces training, speeds adoption, and improves retention.
