EXPANDED INTRANET ELEVATES CORPORATE DESIGN STANDARDS

Problem /
When Compaq’s Office of Strategy & Technology (OS&T) needed to increase employee and partner awareness of its services, the company’s Chief Technology Officer asked us to develop a dedicated OS&T section at Inline, Compaq’s corporate Intranet.

Solution /
With Compaq’s brand guidelines as our baseline, we designed and built a convenient, coherent Intranet destination that distinguished OS&T, while simultaneously reinforcing corporate design standards. The clean look and thoughtful navigational flow of this information tool made it easy for visitors to learn about the department’s functions, and to track relevant news and updates.

Results /
We completed the OS&T section on schedule and without disrupting Inline users. In the process, we set a precedent for usability and consistent application of design standards. Response was overwhelmingly favorable. In fact, OS&T staff was so pleased that, after Compaq’s merger with HP, the combined company retained us to redesign its Intranet site from the ground up.
