The Problem
The ARC Backend Theme was initially found to be non-intuitive and restrictive by its users, leading to decreased productivity and an increased volume of support requests. Main challenges included complex navigation, poor visual hierarchy, and limited customization options, which failed to meet the diverse needs of the various user types ranging from business users to IT managers.
Solution
A comprehensive redesign focusing on user-centric improvements was initiated. The solution aimed to enhance navigation, introduce a customizable interface that users could tailor to their preferences and operational needs, and integrate advanced tools for error detection and user activity monitoring to increase efficiency and ease of use.
