In keeping with its commitment to ensuring its employees are exposed to the best in their industries, BSG hosted and sponsored the recent Jozi-JUG (Java User Group) meet-up, which took place at its Johannesburg offices on 30 March 2015. The event centred on the importance of User Interfaces (UI), one of the most controversial topics in the Java world, with almost every person having a unique viewpoint. The meet-up was structured in such a way that developers of all experience levels could share their points of view and knowledge around the topic.

BSG is a firm believer in the importance of considering user and customer experiences before investing time and money in developing solutions that may fall short of answering the customers’ needs. The UI is a massive component in this, if the UI doesn’t meet the user’s requirements and wants, the experience will fall short. By applying the principles of User Experience Design, BSG’s developers are able to ensure that their UIs meet the needs and wants of the user, thereby delivering value to its clients.
As a niche consulting and technology company with expertise in both business consulting and software development, BSG is committed to ensuring its employees are on the cutting edge of their respective industries. With Java and .Net developers working in agile development environments across its client base, BSG ensures its developers are equipped with the best technology and are exposed to the highest level of thought leadership in the industry.
