Page Views, Unique Visitors, Bounce Rates and Conversion Rates are old-school metrics that often lead to "so what?". Big reports with these metrics don't give us enough insight about customers. Actions you can take upon these reports are limited.
Then what are the metrics that matter? The answer is User Experience.
In this session, Mak will introduce a user-driven approach "Concept Diagram" to define metrics and reports that UX practitioners and engineers can use to measure ROI of content and functions. Makoto Shimizu Web analyst speakers.html#makoto_shimizu

a1 12:00 12:45 5F University access.html#tokyo/5f https://www.youtube.com/embed/In_nHk8y8ss The software world is changing. Almost every program is now concurrent. And many are also distributed. But the tools we use are still rooted in the old sequential, local world.
We've tried to fix this in the past. Languages such as Erlang enable developers to write highly concurrent, highly reliable, distributed systems. But Erlang is not an easy language to approach—developers are put off by the strange syntax and terminology.
The Elixir language fixes this problem. It runs on the Erlang virtual machine, and has all the capabilities of Erlang. But its syntax is as approachable as Ruby. Developers everywhere are starting to look to Elixir to help them address the problems of tomorrow.
Come and see why why I am excited by this new language. Dave Thomas computer programmer, author/editor speakers.html#dave_thomas

d2 14:00 14:45 5F University access.html#tokyo/5f https://www.youtube.com/embed/elPR7fOKgvM Is innovation really important or is it merely hype fueled by the development department? Is it true that a company with an innovative research and development department has a good chance of success? What does the companies Apple and 3M have in common?
First part of this session will try to shed light on the questions above, and at the same time explain how having a multidisciplinary organization like RIT can positively influence Rakuten. The second part will discuss our approach to innovation, while introducing a new smartphone service concept called "Landmark" which address the gamification of local & mobile deal discovery.
