BankUnited, a leading financial institution headquartered in Florida, is renowned for providing a comprehensive range of banking and financial services to individuals, businesses, and corporate clients. With a strong focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions, BankUnited has established itself as a trusted name in the financial sector. As the organization expanded its operations and workforce, it recognized the need to modernize its internal IT Service Portal to enhance its employees' access to essential resources and streamline internal processes. 

Delivering a Holistic Employee Experience

BankUnited’s IT Service Portal was limited to enabling employees with a medium to request IT services and avail self-service, and it could not support their vision of creating a digital workspace for employees.  

Utilizing Employee Center Pro presented an opportunity to transform the digital employee experience and unlock greater workplace productivity. Several areas were identified for enhancement: 

  • Portal Design: The portal's design had the potential for modernization to create a more engaging and intuitive user experience, aligning with BankUnited's forward-thinking digital strategy. A refresh would help showcase the bank's commitment to technological advancement. 
  • Interactive Capabilities: While the portal provided basic functionality, there was a significant opportunity to introduce dynamic features that would foster deeper employee engagement and streamline daily workflows. This would enable more efficient collaboration and self-service options. 
  • Streamlined Information Architecture: The portal's structure offered scope for optimization to create a more intuitive navigation flow. Reorganizing the information architecture would help employees access resources more efficiently, supporting their productivity goals and improving the overall user experience. 

Recognizing these opportunities, BankUnited aimed to revamp the portal to improve user engagement, workflows, and operational efficiency.

As a long-term partner, BanUnited trusted INRY with this initiative. Our approach to Employee Center implementations, combined with a deep understanding of design principles, made INRY the ideal choice to help BankUnited modernize its IT Service Portal.
