Case Study
During the actualization process of a bank start-up, the business department ordered usability research of the front-desk IT system in order to automate the personal loans front office.
The strategy of the bank’s development was aimed at attracting a large number of clients, primarily by providing fast personal loan service.
Instituting an unergonomic IT system could lead to a disruption in the development rate, loss of clients due to ineffective (slow) bank employee service, shortfall of income, and financial losses.
Front-office IT system usability testing was conducted in order to minimize these risks and to discover a large number of defects impeding the interactions of the bank employees with the system. For instance, the interface was overloaded with graphic elements that accentuated secondary system functions and got in the way of finding the necessary information on the screen. As a result, it greatly increased the time needed to provide service to each client.
The test results were recorded in the report that included recommendations for the redesigning of the IT system’s interface. All recommendations could be carried out in a short amount time and with moderate labor costs. The testing also provided prototypes of the main screens.
