SOLUTION
A legacy system was creating issues for sales teams located in branches at physical credit union locations across the country. Externally, sales teams also needed to visit consumers at home to provide digital presentations of insurance plans and programs. The current legacy system was ineffective, unresponsive, and not mobile-friendly. The legacy system was overhauled with a new information architecture, interface design, and user experience. The underlying systems, databases, and infrastructure were maintained. The newly redesigned application was developed to be responsive on mobile devices and tablets.
With a legacy system redesigned to be responsive and mobile friendly, business development and sales teams could have 'in home' and 'in credit union' experiences with customers seated in the comfort of cozy chairs with tablets to share information.
