WunderLand was pleased to host the Chicago Interactive Design & Development meetup group (CIDD) on April 16, 2015, at which Adam Kallish spoke on 'How Digital Infrastructure Affects User Experience.'

Everyone uses infrastructure to access a network, store a file and use cloud services to run applications. With the rise and integration of mobile, social, analytics and security that weaves together on-premise and off-premise infrastructure, there are many technologies and platforms that allow people to access their “stuff” from anywhere.

This 90 minute presentation, follow by a Q&A period, is geared to individuals who use digital tools, but may not know how the cloud or supporting infrastructure works behind the scenes and does have an impact on the user experience.
