About The Customer
The customer is a global digital payments provider that wanted to consolidate its design group in California. The company aimed to create a central hub for its product, engineering, and design talent to accelerate product development. They sought to provide strategic and flexible user experience (UX) design services, ensuring consistency and continuity of project resources. The company also wanted to establish last-mile design support to global product design and engineering teams and create governance for efficient coordination across projects.
The Challenge
A global digital payments provider was looking to consolidate its design group in California, aiming to create a central hub for the company’s product, engineering, and design talent. The goal was to accelerate product development by providing strategic and flexible user experience (UX) design services, ensuring consistency and continuity of project resources. The company also aimed to establish last-mile design support to global product design and engineering teams and create governance for efficient coordination across projects. The major challenge was to staff the new hub with 35 UX design consultants and make it operational within 30 days. The client chose Cognizant Digital Experience, one of the largest design services groups in the industry, to take on this challenge.
The Solution
Cognizant Digital Experience began by training UX designers in the ideation and research that’s central to product companies. They standardized the digital payments provider’s processes to ensure effective collaboration among its consolidated teams. Despite the company's desire to capitalize on the benefits of reusable user interface (UI) components, the team lacked the dedicated staff required to keep files updated and ensure a living toolkit housed the standardized UI components. To address this, Cognizant established an environment for the free flow of ideas, holding sync-up meetings and prioritizing team collaboration. Each UI component was assigned a code that helped the product design team design and scale faster. Procedure standardization facilitated further knowledge sharing among team members.

Centralizing Data for Improved Efficiency: A Case Study on Malvern Panalytical
Malvern Panalytical, a UK-based hi-tech electronics company, was grappling with the challenge of decentralized data storage. The company had a vast amount of unstructured data scattered across various platforms, from hard drives to emails and floppy disks. This made the data searching process extremely cumbersome and inefficient. The company's rapid growth, from 200 to over 1,000 employees in a decade, and expansion across three continents further exacerbated the need for a more structured and centralized data system. As a company involved in electronics manufacturing and software development, it was crucial for Malvern Panalytical to find a platform that could structure all their data, track all modifications of documents in real time, and provide clear visibility of the internal information flow across all its facilities.

Creating an Agile Environment to Drive Growth in the IoT
Numerex needed to provide innovative products and service offerings and adapt to the explosive growth in the IoT/M2M ecosystem. As Numerex was transforming into delivering on-demand offerings to its wide range of markets, they realized their back office systems weren’t capable of providing flexible feature sets, critical to helping turn up new product catalogue configurations to close deals and better manage service offerings. An example of this needed flexibility would allow a Numerex customer to buy devices in bulk yet only pay for those that actively use data on the network. Their systems required significant development efforts to introduce new service offerings such as this. They had segregated billing systems that didn’t scale for high volume processing requirements. Numerex was also growing via M&As, which brought the additional challenges of outdated technologies and a variety of disparate billing systems that didn’t talk to each other, resulting in complex operational expenditures and integration requirements. It became so dire that Numerex was forced to implement manual billing processes for certain lines of business.
