Okay, so what did I learn…

High perceived value
REVEAL is viewed very favourably by clients, who appreciate its potential to enhance their productivity and collaboration.

Usage Challenges:
Clients struggle to use REVEAL effectively due to time constraints and limited technical knowledge. The new prototype remains difficult to navigate, especially for busy lawyers, leading to drop-off.

Integration Needs
Clients appreciate the idea of a shared workspace for reports and meetings but need REVEAL to integrate seamlessly into their existing workflows and be compatible with other tools they use.

Visibility Issues
Clients are still having trouble locating REVEAL on the order display screen, which impacts their ability to fully utilise its features.

How did I take the feedback on board?

After many hours talking to developers, product managers, clients and other Infotrack staff I developed a solution to the problem.

  • New order display screen that shows the possibilities of REVEAL

  • Create integrated widgets that can be placed in relevant Infotrack products and can be rolled out in a phased approach.

The power of REVEAL simplified

By designing a dashboard with mono-purpose widgets, we streamlined each screen's functionality, making navigation and search tasks significantly easier for clients. This approach allowed us to focus each widget on a single purpose, reducing cognitive load and simplifying interactions.

As a result, the interface became much less cluttered, enhancing overall user experience by providing a cleaner and more intuitive layout. This clarity not only improved usability but also increased efficiency, allowing clients to quickly find and use the features they needed without unnecessary distractions.

Conclusion

This project had its share of challenges, as any project does. The highlights for me included leading all the discussions and driving outcomes while balancing both company and user goals to achieve a great solution. There's still room for continuous improvement, especially with the new API integration that allows us to track data more efficiently.
