https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/4f4516a5-2168-4f14-aca6-3563cef7ec86/DSA-Spreadsheet.png Case Study 1 - Challenge: Splunk, one of the top machine learning companies in the world, came to Emerge Interactive in late 2016 / early 2017 with a unique challenge. Their flagship customer-facing product suite at the time could capture, index and correlate real-time IT data in a searchable repository and generate graphs, reports, alerts, dashboards and visualizations for IT audiences and business executives alike. Despite this incredible technology, Splunk lacked an internal sales tool that could do the same for the lifecycle of their own prospective and existing customers. Illustrating to customers a forecasted ROI from increasing their deployment of Splunk products over time was essential to their business growth model. An interim solution was created in the form of a highly complex spreadsheet called the Data Source Assessment tool (DSA), but this was both cumbersome to use and prone to human error as sales staff had to copy and paste data and results into different platforms used throughout their sales pipeline process such as Salesforce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/fc589357-783f-4b42-a302-5b6c3a40ae6c/SPLIT-VIEW-SPLUNK.png Case Study 1 - goal: After many initial discussions between Splunk and Emerge — a phased multi-year relationship to address this challenge was finalized and initiated. Splunk knew it had to solve the urgent challenge of building a SaaS version of the DSA tool, but over time realized the value and potential in building an entire digital product platform to house this tool as well as other tools that would benefit from a similar evolution. Doing so would increase data integrity across essential 3rd party platforms such as Salesforce and the overall level of accuracy everywhere in highlighting a client’s forecasted and existing Splunk data capture implementation. The results of these discussions led to a 0.5 “proof of concept” (PoC) release which focused exclusively on the SaaS version of the DSA tool. For the review of the 0.5 PoC multiple senior Splunk executives flew out to Emerge’s headquarters in Portland, Oregon for a multi-day white boarding session to understand the vision for the 1.0 release which would focus on improvements to the DSA tool and an introduction to the digital product platform suite concept which would house the DSA tool as well as other tools to be built over time such as an Interactive Value Assessment (IVA) tool and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) tool. The 1.0 release would also introduce single sign-on functionality and the ability to view high-level account information to see progress and identify areas of opportunity and action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735187450170-RGRSG7X4Q0VLAQTP9YZT/Splunk-POC-Interviews.png Case Study 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735187451116-0F278U3LIG1ZAUKXNOAO/Splunk-POC-User-Journey.png Case Study 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735187451271-PIVPX9Z9K3J0QCGUY2Z3/Splunk-POC-Wires.png Case Study 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735187450383-ZEY4URC3B3JWEUF8NFKK/Splunk-POC-Design.png Case Study 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735190056557-JIORQZIFN40GYHZPMJKS/Splunk-Design-Wires.png Case Study 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735189562267-1219ZDBJGZQ7C777IW02/Splunk-Design-Sketch.png Case Study 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735190608428-ZJOTV14QT9JQ0PB04EQ7/Splunk-Design-Guide.png Case Study 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735191162640-5ZMHBXLEDTYUI6KYYM39/Splunk-Design-Final.png Case Study 1 https://www.dpgcreative.com/casestudy2 daily 0.75 2025-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/721ce157-19b5-4cfe-b45b-19325824fa7a/Mineral_Case_Hero.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/6e163e09-e3e0-429a-862a-75118a5bb58e/Brand-Merge.png Case Study 2 - Challenge: Just before the pandemic shut down offices everywhere, Emerge Interactive started a client relationship with ThinkHR – a provider of HR knowledge and people risk management solutions through their proprietary cloud-based platform. Two major challenges presented themselves right away. First, ThinkHR had recently acquired another company, Mammoth HR, which offered its own online portal and certified HR consultants to their affiliate base and clients for carrying out online human resource services. ThinkHR was an engineering led company that admitted they struggled with the design process in the past and preferred to engineer solutions directly without involving design as part of the solution. As part of the acquisition deal, Mammoth mandated utilizing a 3rd party in the form of a digital product design agency to help strategize and design a unified platform, facilitate its construction, and establish a proper design process and protocol for the new company. Thus, Emerge was hired. Second, these two companies were merging into an entirely new and undefined company and brand, so a separate branding agency was hired and brought in to manage its inception and evolution. This in itself introduced many distinct challenges as the digital platform design Emerge was creating evolved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/81fc2a82-a001-4d42-8c4d-b53172d70a16/SPLIT-VIEW-MINERAL.png Case Study 2 - goal: The strategy and goal for the product platform Emerge was to design and help build was likewise two-fold. First, Emerge needed to create a unified HR platform experience that would leverage prioritized functionality from both ThinkHR’s and Mammoth HR’s existing platforms. Prioritizing features such as prospective and existing client management via Salesforce and other must haves would streamline the volume of functionality the new platform would require and keep it relevant to their respective audience’s most pressing needs. This prioritization would surface from interviews of users of both platforms which the creative team at Emerge would conduct and lead. As ThinkHR was new to working with a digital agency partner, during the project kick-off an empathy mapping session was conducted to get everyone in the mindset of understanding audiences in an empathetic fashion and thinking about these audience’s respective tasks, influences, feelings, pain points, and ultimate goal. This helped ThinkHR both welcome and realize the benefit of the design process as a whole. The secondary strategy and goal was to build a unified platform up-front as a generic and unbranded experience not only because their new unified brand was under development, but also to facilitate the creation of a “white label” experience for one of their biggest audiences, Human Resource company customers, who would personalize the experience for their own company use. These audiences would be customizing their platform experience to use their own company color palette and logo. Finally, we had to plan for an overarching default brand aesthetic that the branding agency was working on separately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735235540959-7MGAJGAR16RFQ9ZB2JNS/Mineral-Flows.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735235269992-4P54ZOG8MMDZ7W9K94PX/Mineral-Wires.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735235704800-3CE3Z05Q93MC47OUS36N/Mineral-Whitelabel.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735236257909-759PRCT7X9CHG0GAI98O/Mineral-UserTesting.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735236649226-OC8RS7GCLW48Z6HWE9ZE/Mineral-Branded.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735237036520-JDHJ3DWMZ6RWTR0ZZY6W/Mineral-Date-Picker.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735237381835-C93RBKPVLJ8PM8V4FCAL/Mineral-Icons.png Case Study 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735238375846-W4XY0HJEWTS940S6ZSS8/Mineral-Zeplin.png Case Study 2 https://www.dpgcreative.com/casestudy3 daily 0.75 2025-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/9825643e-786d-41ce-9446-b733dd8d22c9/Pahlisch_Case_Hero.png Case Study 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/e008c0c9-6704-444b-b3b3-b727d27dd54c/Dashboard+-+Contracted.png Case Study 3 - Challenge: One of the final projects I lead during my time at Emerge Interactive involved a client in the residential home construction and community home building space – Pahlisch Homes. Their desire was to build a customer portal experience that would allow homebuyers to view and track the progress of their new home construction. This portal would also include features such as sending and receiving messages from the Pahlisch team & general contractors, access and alerts to critical and essential documents, and eventually offer a unique 3D customization experience to allow homebuyers to become a bigger part of the home designing experience themselves. It was their hope that building such an experience would help to modernize their business and attract new customers. Our primary challenge was that Pahlisch was still in talks with several 3rd party companies to adapt and utilize specialized 3D modeling software to achieve the 3D customization experience feature before Emerge came along. These talks ultimately lasted longer than the project scope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/4f044291-e582-4e5f-807c-2f826277bd9e/SPLIT-VIEW-PAHLISCH.png Case Study 3 - goal: The mutually agreed upon goal was to create a premium experience for homebuyers with helpful and assistive functionality, ensure the experience could accommodate an eventual and phased in 3D custom design feature, and that a high degree of empathy and emotional consideration was baked into the final product. The rationale for this last aspect is quite simple — a home is a very large financial and emotional investment, especially when considering new construction. Managing customers’ emotions and ensuring their peace of mind was paramount and a very reasonable success metric that Pahlisch held for this project. Salesforce integration was also a requirement, as the platform would be part of Pahlisch’s sales pipeline and thus need to accurately reflect sales data in real-time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/3a4ac81f-ee14-438a-a6e8-7a2077e54770/Onboarding+flow+V3.png Case Study 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735251361987-ZVNNRUASFOV5JOKGPAZV/Pahlisch-onboarding.png Case Study 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735251136585-AX8650KSFX7XWRLNTOXK/Pahlisch-Wires.png Case Study 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735251611968-GPZC23X16N0FKTJCPG5E/Componets.png Case Study 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7dbbeeeabf16592a827445/1735251756696-WTQ7AI12BHACUVO0YFON/Pahlisch-screen.png Case Study 3
