The VALUE OF A DESIGN PARTNERSHIP
Making user experience a business priority
BMC Software is a leading provider of IT management solutions. In 2013, BMC’s CEO, Bob Beauchamp, made user experience a strategic business priority. There was significant design work to do on existing and new products across a variety of platforms.
George Kaempf was hired to transform the user experience of BMC’s flagship products. George reached out to Konrad+King in an effort to bolster his small team. Since then, we have been discovering user problems, providing innovative solutions and building products.
This continuing design partnership has positively impacted BMC's business success and added increasing value to their customers.
Business Value
Konrad+King has provided value to BMC’s UX team by supplying skills and bandwidth that they didn’t have organically. Konrad+King scaled up quickly with professional product strategists and designers when additional work needed to get done.
Konrad+King is integrated into our team which enables us to respond to our high priority projects. They know what we’re doing and know how to do it. There is no ramp up time as would be found in a transactional relationship.
