Digital headend user experience - Triax

How to let advanced digital technology create real user benefits

Triax new headend distributes TV services in e.g. hotels. Application of digital technology in this segments offers promising opportunities for more compact products and more swift logistic and configuration. But – in order to make this business case become a reality there is a vast challenge of creating the right interaction concepts and -design, that reflect the users “analog” thinking. That is where design-people came in.

Based on user studies and feedback on both concepts and use cases we helped Triax to get the user experience right. This called for adjustments of the hardware design and a smooth integration with the interaction design of the software configurator that is used by the service technician.

The result – the users approved the new digital Triax way of ordering and installing a headend and the largest commercial venture made by Triax ever now turns into a business success.
