Serving SaaS platforms and products geared towards finance professionals including investment platforms, modelling platforms & accounting software
We see some product growth challenges in enterprise products across the board. Many products rely heavily on their sales people to get contracts through the door, but experience serious churn then renewal comes up. This is often because few users have actually adopted the software internally, either because the learning curve is unmanageable or the functionality is just a bit “off”, not quite suited to user needs or cumbersome to actually use.
So, when analyzing what your ROI of UX looks like, you can look at it through a few lenses:
Whether you’re looking to eliminate bad UX or enhance your UX culture, we’ve got you sorted. We provide fintech design services for software like this:
Applying the right design principles to your demo can create excitement and engage your audiences more effectively. We put together this whitepaper to help you inject some UX love into your product—we cover common mistakes, what a makes a demo successful, and more!
Enterprise design is no joke, you need to know you’re working with the crew that can get it done.
We have processes in place which modify the typical UX design process and allow us to gather relevant information and start diving deep. One such process is our “data context mapping” workshop, where we derive the data details from your data SME, learning the structure, quirks, size, and nature of the underlying data. This is part of an onboarding process which lasts typically 2-4 weeks
We act as a plug and play design team for a range of situations. From teams who have never integrated any kind of UX design resource, to supplementing and collaborating with existing design teams. Depending on your needs, we can take the lead on new ideas, or support the team you have in place. We shine when it comes to collaboration and integrating quickly in teams. See our article about product management and design collaboration for example
We do the full scope of UX/UI design for software in the enterprise arena. This includes “zooming out” and formulating logic around the whole flow, to wireframing (mapping out screens) and producing realistic prototypes. UX/UI design however does not extend to branding or marketing, so we will happily refer you to wonderful teams we know.
Our team gets brought into projects across the spectrum of stages. Sometimes we’ll work with a single visionary to establish direction and then grow with the team. Other times, development will be underway and there’s a more urgent context to the work. Ideally we’re brought in earlier rather than later.
We’ve had great success making relatively small UX improvements to software which have significantly improved the usability and flow of products (and it doesn’t always need to be fancy UI or animations either). We believe that incremental improvement to your product and development process can make a huge difference. Often this is accompanied with longer-term work that sets a vision for the future. Both of these approaches work hand in hand to improve your product.
Your business case and ROI calculation around UX investment may come down to several different factors that relate to the specifics of your business. A very common situation we see is the development team spending a lot of time trying to make design decisions, this cost savings might be a useful initial lens to apply. If you’re in a particularly competitive field, where your enterprise product is starting to lag behind in a scary way, you may want to apply the lens of opportunity cost. Many of our clients have used design concept work to de-risk development efforts and secure interest for large opportunities. Regardless of the approach you have, please leverage our resource “How to calculate the ROI of UX” as a guide and inspiration for you and your team.
