[Sigia-l] IA or UXA? Which do you prefer?

[W Evans]

I used to be pure IA (for 2 years), but over the past 5 years, have spent
more time with business strategy, conceptual modeling, interaction design
(as well as some classic IA), which is why I have changed over in the last 2
years to UXA - it fits better with the scope of my responsibilities and
deliverables.
