Ian Budden
Chief Technology Officer of Elucidat
I create great software, that people love to use. Recently I have been bootstrapping Elucidat, which is an amazing new software startup that is solving the challenges e-learning authoring teams are experiencing – particularly around how to increase productivity and how to create learning content that works on any device. (laptop, tablet, mobile). Elucidat was born out of the frustrations that ambitious e-learning agencies experience when using desktop-based authoring software built for individuals. At Elucidat I look after product development, making sure that Elucidat is as good as it can be, and that we are helping users to get the most out of it. Before starting up Elucidat, I ran an award winning digital agency in London for 12 years – creating the first mobile handheld interactive tours of Tate Modern (that won a BAFTA for technical innovation), the Louvre, the Pompidou centre and the British Museum, guiding visitors around the collections and giving a deeper understanding of the works. I believe in creating ambitious software that above all is enjoyable and intuitive to use, and becomes a critical and empowering tool for the user. I’m very excited about Elucidat and seeing what the future holds. If you think your team might benefit – do let me know.
