The software experts of Berner & Mattner Systemtechnik GmbH and the UI design specialists of Centigrade GmbH intensify their cooperation in the area of innovative touch interface software solutions. With their cooperation, they support manufacturers of machinery and plants to improve functionality and ease of use of human machine interfaces through modern touch-sensitive interfaces. In doing so, customers increase the attractiveness of their products and significantly reduce costs of errors, support and training. Both companies have established an integrated procedure model and a special infrastructure consisting of state-of-the-art development methods and tools for effective development of human machine interface solutions. The first success of the cooperation is an operating terminal, developed in cooperation with OMICRON electronics, which has been presented with the iF communication design award for outstanding product design.

From February 2nd to 5th 2011 the sixth Servoy World international conference will take place in Amsterdam, informing about latest topics in user interface oriented rapid application development.

Centigrade today announced that the company is amongst this year’s proud winners of the coveted iF communication design award. A top-class jury chose the company’s entry out of 1678 entries from 26 countries.

The sweeping success of Apple’s iPhone is proof that solutions featuring a well thought out and aesthetical user interface can face up to competition in a hard-fought market – even more: they can give new impetus to a seemingly saturated market.

But not only lifestyle devices such as mobile phones benefit from professional conception and design of their user interface. For business software, too, the user interface has become a competitive differentiator: since users take the availability of required functionality as granted, usability of systems becomes the distinguishing feature.

Centigrade celebrates its third anniversary. Since being founded by Thomas Immich and Simon Albers in the year of the first World Usability Day the company stands for the creation of user interfaces that combine usability, aesthetics and technical elegance, constantly inspiring their target audience.

Looking back at a successful CeBIT 2008, Centigrade will be attending the SYSTEMS 2008 trade show.

Centigrade GmbH is supporting this year’s interdisciplinary symposia Mensch & Computer, DeLFI, Cognitive Design and Usability Professionals as a sponsor.

Centigrade was very satisfied with the audience response at this year’s CeBIT.
