Smart Office (iOS)
Ideal for road warriors using hotel Wi-Fi or 4G mobile data, Smart Office serves users wherever they are. The objective was to offer a better user experience, with a feature-set aimed at improved navigation, and quick actions.
The re-design involved user research, competitive analysis, prototyping and user testing.
Major focus areas, based on research:
Poor usability
We identified the pitfalls within the interface to better optimize for a mobile experience. Important information and actions needed more priority within the design.
Outdated UI
The original design started to look dated and needed a refresh. The user experience felt clunky and at times frustrating, especially when compared to similar apps.
Power features
It was important to keep all the power features within a single tap, especially when moving calls between PC and mobile.
Building trust
Building trust with users was essential to the success of the re-design. It was more than a make over, it was more of a fresh start.
One click features
Users really noticed the changes and felt an improved overall experience of using the app. Especially folks on bigger phones.
Boring to exciting
Smart Office witnessed better user engagement and reflected a more modern versus a dated looking app. Usability testing provided enough evidence that the app began to look more professional and more trustworthy.
