About The Customer
The customer is a global digital payments provider that wanted to consolidate its design group in California. The company aimed to create a central hub for its product, engineering, and design talent to accelerate product development. They sought to provide strategic and flexible user experience (UX) design services, ensuring consistency and continuity of project resources. The company also wanted to establish last-mile design support to global product design and engineering teams and create governance for efficient coordination across projects.
The Solution
Cognizant Digital Experience began by training UX designers in the ideation and research that’s central to product companies. They standardized the digital payments provider’s processes to ensure effective collaboration among its consolidated teams. Despite the company's desire to capitalize on the benefits of reusable user interface (UI) components, the team lacked the dedicated staff required to keep files updated and ensure a living toolkit housed the standardized UI components. To address this, Cognizant established an environment for the free flow of ideas, holding sync-up meetings and prioritizing team collaboration. Each UI component was assigned a code that helped the product design team design and scale faster. Procedure standardization facilitated further knowledge sharing among team members.
Operational Impact
  • The collaboration and knowledge-sharing approach of the Cognizant Digital Experience team condensed the digital payments provider’s product cycle, resulting in a significantly faster time to market. The central design hub was successfully staffed and operational within the client's 30-day timeframe. The hub has since delivered a total of 25 product releases within 24 months, demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency. The standardization of procedures and the establishment of an environment for the free flow of ideas have facilitated knowledge sharing among team members, enhancing overall team performance.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 35% faster time to market
