Experience Design
Each business issue has a need, and where there is a need, there is a human being. 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 produces a vision of a solution to be validated with actual potential users to prove market viability, answering: what problem is the product solving, what are the business goals, and why is the solution needed? By approaching opportunities with a design-first mindset, companies can accelerate delivery of innovative solutions to differentiate in-market. 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
Service Design
Service design increases value and reveals opportunities to optimize experiences across multiple touchpoints through a holistic understanding of complex systems and processes behind the enterprise. Service design enhances the entire experience value chain and ultimately leads to product design. At SoftServe, we reimagine interactions between the business, employees, and customers to create the level of engagement and satisfaction that leads to differentiation.
- Transform complex ecosystems and concepts into services that deliver business value
- Identify opportunities to optimize existing technologies and processes

Product Design
Product design focuses on crafting solutions that are desirable, meaningful, and technically viable.

We leverage design thinking and a human-centered mindset throughout the design process—always putting the user first—but also considering the business perspective and ensuring that business value is delivered.
