    • In Favor of: Digident Solutions July 2, 2009
      First of all, I want to take the opportunity to thank my friend who mentioned my name in one of the pings on the right side :). I'm not sure if it was a criticism or a compliment, anyway, whatever it was, I accept and welcome it :) Secondly, I'd like to say a few things about DigiDent Solutions as it is DigiDent Solutions and not Digident Solutions […]

    • Against: Digital Juice June 28, 2009
      The Juicer software is some of the worst software I have ever used. A simple file for a composite that should take a minute to copy off the disc takes 30 minutes to render and ends up being 5 times larger than the original. New product has thousands of project files and source animation but all proprietary format. Takes up twice the space and render time an […]

    • In Favor of: Avenir Technology June 24, 2009
      I'm surprised by all the negative energy here! To me the organization is the most rewarding yet but of course I can't discredit other people's experiences. For me it was a very positive and pleasant learning experience. I'm going to miss everyone at Avenir so much!
    • In Favor of: Ticketmaster June 22, 2009
      I use to work for ticket master customer service, Ticket Master doesnt charge 50% more per order, They charge very little actually for the service they provide. If I remember right usually $2.30 cents per order. NOW what most dont grasp is Ticket Master HAS to charge extra for certain places, but thats because the place your attending the show charges that, […]

The Most User Unfriendly Systems We Have

Posted on July 13, 2008 by Qurratulain Akhtar

It’s about half a month that my iNet banking is not working, reason being I changed my password. Now nor old, neither new password works, and above all, there’s no option password retrieval. I kept on searching any way out for so many days, and finally called the bank.

I was thinking they will probably reset it for me, but , there’s no such option and I’ll have to go personally to get a new iNet account if I want, otherwise forget about it!

It always makes me sad when I see such user unfriendly systems. Such systems may also exist in west as well, but the ratio is very very low. From a simple static site giving insurance quotes to a complex payment system, i.e. PayPal, everything seems giving a real user experience. I don’t mean to say that all of our systems are user friendly, but banks are the major cases, and they must be too easy to use and extremely user friendly. And the dilemma of our internet banking is that, 50% of internet users don’t use net banking because of the complex systems.

    By the way i am quite comfortable with my UBL netbanking account. It seems like life is so easy with it. I have not been to bank for last 2 years now, and maintaining my account online.

    However, in your case… yea VAS should add some value instead of putting someone in a situation like yours

    Yeah Amir, m’ also fine with UBL, but alas! I get my salary in Askari…. and many times my ATM doesn’t also work!

    Not only this, once, when I wanted having online help from Habib Banks site, I found it down with ‘under reconstruction’ message for about three weeks. Three weeks is a big time in finance sector, and they should have an alternate at least and or use the test environment for new features at least!
