Background
Our Client has been fostering improved collaboration between brokers and their clients, and its sell-side solutions have brought greater efficiencies and transparency to the distribution, control, and reporting of broker content.
Through a single access point, sell-side clients can easily streamline the distribution of broker content per their respective entitlement rules and format the interactions data for comparison and analysis.
For buy-side clients, we helped firms efficiently discover corporate access events, track their consumption of research and corporate access interactions, and carry out quantitative broker evaluation.

Utilizing lean UX design processes, continuous design iterations, and regular stakeholder feedback allowed the team to produce testable design solutions rapidly.
