3 Things to Consider When Taking On an Enterprise Design Project

3 Things to Consider When Taking On an Enterprise Design Project

Designing for enterprise requires focus on impact, certainty, and user expertise. Consider whether the app is sovereign or transient, as it affects design. Enterprise users are experts needing high data density and customizable UIs. Minimize extra steps to make the app more efficient and user-centric. Design for confidence in these complex systems.

Common service:

Usability Testing

Usability test a product early to quickly validate ideas, and test later to establish benchmarks. Continuously probe uncertainty throughout the process.

This applies to any development format: paper, wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and live products.

Enterprise Software and Nielsen's Heuristics

User-centered design often takes a backseat in enterprise software, resulting in less-than-stellar user experiences. While Jakob Nielsen's heuristics can enhance enterprise applications, they require an organizational shift to prioritize the user experience, ultimately leading to a more engaging and efficient workplace.
