  • Manage session timeout better. Prevent data loss. Avoid wasting the time and effort of the user. Enable users to customize session time-out duration.
  • Provide contextual help as and when needed.
  • Provide clear feedback after completing an action.
  • Break down long processes into smaller steps and wizards
  • Assist users in suggesting the actions they need to take to complete or continue the task.

EA and its future – Business organizations are quick to implement EA that helps in uniting the databases and workflows. Trends, such as diverse workflow solutions, BYOD, migration to cloud-based solutions, and real-time application integration and technologies like Big Data and IoT shall be driving the market’s growth positively.
