Challenge
Sun Pharma envisaged to be positioned as a brand that was contemporary, collaborative and provides an engagement platform for its employees which was both simple, intuitive and seamless. Think Design needed to design a seamless experience for the existing intranet portal which not only enhances usability but also meets the new standards of a modern Sun pharma.
Our Methodology
Our engagement was marked by beginning to understand the needs of the relevant stakeholders, users, exploring factors which the users might care about most. User personas were created which further guided the creation of user journeys and task flows.
Our team carried out a competitive analysis of the other players in the market to identify and understand the best practices of internal engagement portals. All insights generated through these activities fed in creating the design directions and deciding on the UI benchmarks for Sun Pharma.
