Consumption Analytics is a web app which monitors spend and consumption of resources on public clouds such as AWS and Microsoft Azure. My role on this product was design lead to 3 designers.
Problem
Reports create digestible sets of data for users to utilize with themselves and share with others. My task was to redesign and improve usability for this HPE purchased product -- bringing it closer to HPE branding in style and simplifying the UI so users could work more efficiently.
Process
Research Phase
- Discovery research with existing customers
- Usability research with both existing customers and target personas
- Production application research and validation
Design Phase
- Low fidelity to medium fidelity designs
- Hi fidelity designs and prototypes
Implementation Phase
- Working with engineering to implement designs
Solution
Dashboards surface metrics sourced from reports for a high level view.
Existing reports did not have visualizations. In this product refresh we added data visualizations from an at-a-glance view and also a drilldown view.
In addition to being able to use "out-of-the-box" reports, users can build reports. Users are able to create charts based on their needs for the report, or edit existing ones.
