Intranet visual interfaces – powerful user experiences

December 2nd, 2010

One of the most powerful aspects of Claromentis is the combination of Visual Interfaces with the business application requirement of the users concerned.

I find this hard to clarify without simply referring to images. People are used to interfaces being ‘branded’ – by which they mean the application of a logo and adherence to a style guide – and permissions controlling access to information.

It is quite a leap for clients who have not experienced it to understand that the ability to make available applications, change the interface and also of course access to data creates an extremely powerful web based framework for any business – large or small.

How can the same system provide integrated corporate social networking as well as formal project management? How can users benefit from a comprehensive collaboration framework when in the office, and fast access to prioritized information from a mobile device? How can extranet users have a totally different experience from intranet users in the main office?

Corporate Social Networking

Corporate social networking belongs in the intranet – enabling single sign on, following of corporate information and engagement with the content within the platform.

Formal Project Management

Project management is the next step up from ideas – the act of turning them into reality.

Corporate Home Page

Corporate home pages vary significantly but the general concept is similar from client to client.

Fast Access from a Mobile Device

Staff View

Users from the main company have one view, extranet clients are normally focused on understanding data and KPIs concerned with their own projects.

These images might help to understand that a powerful system like Claromentis can indeed match these requirements – by using permissions, interfaces and applications in the holistic way they deserve.

Visual Interface Nightmares

August 26th, 2009

We all know interfaces can be challenging, I thought I would start a collection of examples where the best of intentions just goes horribly wrong.
So as my first post on this theme, here is me trying to cancel a squash court – what a daft pop up :

cancel-or-cancel1

So I am trying to cancel, and it seems I have a choice of canceling or confirming. Should I ok the  cancellation or confirm that I want to cancel..? Or cancel my cancellation?
If simple things can go this wrong, what hope complex collaboration interfaces…
