About this project
The technical scope was to integrate with several back-end systems and develop an orchestration back-end solution that eventually will connect with the Customer App. From the functional angle we went through the user personas and discussed with marketing what the ideas were around social media and fun elements. Deep Dive To come up with a solution, we really need to understand each step of the current process and thereafter create the first outline of the desired situation. We analyzed the data and persona flows, thereafter fine tuned the existing designs and start drafting the technical architecture to handle a load of at least 2-3 million app downloads.
Challenges
