The challenge

High profile clients around the world rely on Sirota’s employee surveys and HR intelligence. The challenge was to create a new interface to the highest accessibility standards, supporting multiple languages and character sets including Arabic and Chinese. The application had to be compatible with browsers, devices and screen readers from the last 10 years.

Custom UI framework

We created a UI framework that could be rolled out across the application in a scaleable manner by the in-house back-end development team.

Common design patterns

To make the building of surveys much easier we used common drag-and-drop design patterns that were familiar to enterprise users without training.

Editing a business hierarchy

Multi-tier record editing

By implementing a multi-tier navigation, action panel, and a record panel in the same page, we removed the need to enter and exit pages to edit records.

The existing solution

The existing solution was becoming out of date. From a design aesthetic the system felt old, and users found it hard to use. The front-end and back-end were intertwined in a classic MVC architecture so any innovation of the User Interface was slowed down by back-end development.

“Plug & Play delivered a beautiful interface that was exactly what we were looking for. Their team really got to grips with our complex user journeys very quickly, and designed amazing solutions that really work for our software. Furthermore, the collaboration between their designers and front-end developers with our back-end development team was seamless – delivering the project on-time and on-budget.”
