For this project, the client needed a simple Power BI report portal that could provide broad overview information yet also capability to drill down to user specific vendor reports. Their original solution was an embedded Silverlight application nested in their intranet platform. Not only was the technology deprecated, but the user experience was convoluted and confusing.
The solution we designed was a standalone web application that solved many of their UX issues. By creating a simple card-based dashboard layout, with easily recognizable iconography and an updated organization layout to sort through many vendor companies, the users could drill down the correct Power BI report within seconds. With the added functionality of a report search and favorites section, the users could now find a specific report and pin it to their dashboard for easier access to heavily used information.
Not only did the product test well with internal users, but the company vendor partners also found the new system a vast improvement, with an increase of long term utilization by 47%.
