The Vision for a Unified Digital Experience for Employees
The customer sought to optimize operations and internal communications by expanding their Service Portal usage across HR, IT, Supply Chain, Finance, and other departments. They planned to transition to Employee Center Pro to enhance the end-user experience and leverage ServiceNow's best UX features. With this upgrade, the customer also aimed to centralize tasks from platforms such as Workday and Cornerstone.
Working closely with the organization, INRY developed a vision for transformation to address these challenges while setting the foundation for future growth.
INRY's Total Experience Framework for Building Engaging Employee Experiences
At INRY, we follow an experience-first approach when it comes to Employee Center implementations. Our Total Experience Framework (TEF), guided the customer on a design-led journey to building the ideal portal for their organization while keeping the design cycle short and efficient through the usage of INRY’s industry and use of case-specific templates, rapid prototyping, and iterative enhancements.
Our library of unique, purpose-built widgets and our capability to create more based on customer needs fueled the design of a highly functional and engaging portal. Through collaborative design workshops, we ensure customer and end-user feedback drives the design and development of their future digital front door.
Regarding leveraging the best of what ServiceNow has to offer, INRY’s prescriptive approach helped the customer decide on what features and integrations to leverage to yield the best outcomes.
