The challenge

At the time, the process of finding the needed information, such as phone numbers, departments, locations, titles was time-consuming and frustrating. As a result, the firm contacted Aciron Consulting to develop a custom employee directory.

Our approach

Firstly, Aciron did a requirements activity to understand the firm’s needs. In addition, Aciron was able to determine the best strategy for an employee directory. Similarly, we leveraged the firm’s existing technology investments. Based on the activity, the team proposed a custom browser-based .NET application. After that, this directory would access the client’s existing SharePoint directory.

Overall, Aciron designed iterative storyboards and process flow diagrams. In other words, these documents represented the layout and functionality of the final employee directory. The Aciron team regularly reviewed such documentation with the client. As a result, we incorporated client feedback throughout the process.
