With the partnering of Daimler in Germany and Chrysler in the United
States, there were bound to be troubles interfacing their different
dealer support networks.
As part of the up-front design efforts involved in integration, we
developed and wrote the user interface requirements specifications
for their dealer portal site.
Our focus was on providing a common look and feel strategy for the
eventual integration of over 300 new and existing applications as
they integrated the foreign systems, and prepared to change their
entire site architecture from a satellite / mainframe system to a
fully web enabled architecture.
Delivery involved extensive gathering, organizing and documentation
of end user and corporate requirements before the job could begin.
Tasks included the development of functional prototypes, creation
of detailed portal screen design specifications, and documentation
of the underlying site information architecture, page architecture
and graphical user interface designs.
All of this work was performed in coordination with a team creating
a new application development and integration process for the client,
and in conjunction with their entire IT organization.
