Internal Directory of Enterprise Applications
Oregon Mutual was in need of a space to host tools, distribute information and do business with the insurance agents who represented them. In order to fill this need, I lead a team of developers, UX designers and QA specialist to create the IDEA Portal.
The IDEA Portal is an internal and external portal created using modular framework Reach in order to maximize the output of a small of fiercly creative group. Our motto of "build once, use many" allow us to create on space and dynamically change the experience based off of predefined user roles.
But this wasn't always the plan...
Solid progress on the policy admin system soon transitioned into a bigger system, a way for users to utalize our technologies to work smarter, not harder.
A driving force for this new product was getting it into users hands and getting feedback for what was working and what was falling flat.
The eraly feedback was good but there was some areas that could use improvements, which was perfect. We iterated over several elements and designs, taking the various elements of the portal and improving the quality with each new version release.
The IDEA Portal is an evolving space that will always be moving forward towards. As the needs of the users grow and expand, so too shall the tools they use.
