Auditing an Application
With evolving user expectations, it was critical for SaskTel to take steps to engage with customers to improve their experience across digital platforms. With SaskTel we went through a research and discovery phase that included testing of the existing customer portal, user engagement, facilitated workshops and digital prototyping. By applying our user-centered approach, we designed a roadmap and provided recommendations for SaskTel to modernize their customer experience (CX) and position their application as a primary channel for customer engagement - critical for self-service payments, support, and promotions."

Designing the New Experience
Combined consumer and business experiences initially resulted in a complex design and clunky journeys. By tailoring the platform to the target audience, we enabled users to complete high-priority tasks more efficiently and reduce their need for support.
Our team truly enjoys our partnership with zu. Their dedication to keeping our team focused on user-centred design and ability to work collaboratively is refreshing and professional. zu is the partner we need to keep us nimble and skilled as we compete nationally. Designing our website and customer portals is complex due to its scale and need for customer validation. The zu crew supports us openly with timeline, budget and objectives achieved all while having a little fun along the way.
