Experience Design
For every business issue, there is a need, and where there is a need, there is a human. Experience design employs design-thinking methodology to address human needs to create fundamentally relevant and exceptional solutions. By adopting a human-centered approach to creating meaningful experiences and processes across the enterprise, businesses are realizing higher customer engagement, significant time efficiency improvement, and rapid return on investment.
Research
Before solving problems, companies must first identify what problems exist, and then synthesize data to uncover insights into why they exist. Research uncovers root causes and identifies areas of opportunity to ensure businesses produce value for users. Outputs take the form of insight reports and strategic recommendations. SoftServe distinguishes two areas of research: user research, and experience assessments.
- Discover new opportunities and validate assumptions.
- Reduce the risk of creating undesirable solutions.
- Articulate business goals that may affect features and product deployment strategies.
- Understand and document user needs.
Strategy
Design strategy applies design methodology to solving business problems. By approaching opportunities with a design mindset first, companies can more rapidly arrive at innovative solutions to differentiate in-market. Design strategy produces a vision of a solution to be validated with real potential users to prove market viability—what problem is the product solving, what are the business goals, why is a solution needed? SoftServe’s design strategy includes design vision, experience planning, and extended reality (XR) strategy.
- Find the right problems to solve to reduce risk and focus your efforts on getting innovation done.
- Reduce downstream design efforts and development costs with a well-defined design strategy.
- Focus on what really matters to customers.
