an app

consider the experience of
transitions

why?
70% of US online consumers
research products online and
purchase them offline
Forrester, Profiling The Multichannel Consumer, July 2009
65% of visitors to an online search engine were looking
for further information in relation to a product or
service they saw in a television commercial or in
a newspaper advertisement.

digital and physical are
colliding
technology is everywhere

don’t design for technology, design
for the holistic experience
how?

information architecture is the
foundation
information, not technology, is the
foundation for closing the gap between experiences

…predictable pathways of information are changing: the physical world itself is
becoming a type of information system.

there is an enormous demand right now to have
information on the go…people are living their lives
on the move, and that is increasingly how they want
their real estate information.

“holistic storytelling experience across
channels
reporters now write for digital first =>
extensibility
content centric, platform agnostic
NYT brand now content provider, not a
newspaper

not the same information not the same experience

particular when designing an integrated model of IA.

information is the bridge
information is blurring the lines between products and services to create multi-channel, cross-
platform, trans-media, physico-digital user experiences

What is my journey?
Holistic experiences require holistic
information architecture. Across channels,
platforms, devices and touchpoints.
