Project Background
Online Documents is used as a secure platform for document delivery to State Street clients. The UX team conducted a comprehensive research study to revamp the overall user experience for both internal users and clients.
My Role: UX Research Lead
I led the end-to-end UX research for this project, from scheduling and moderating internal user interviews to conducting data analysis and reporting insights. Additionally, I collaborated closely with stakeholders to define the UX roadmap for future phases of the application based on the initial research findings.

Participant Profile Findings


Thematic Analysis
After the interviews were completed, I used the journaling method to conduct the Thematic Analysis. Through the codes assigned to the excerpts from the transcripts and manual notes, I uncovered patterns and themes which helped me synthesize the insights and prioritize the issues based on various factors.

Thematic Analysis Synopsis
Reviewing the Thematic analysis, we see that the top reoccurring issue is “Inefficient Workflow” which was closely followed by ”Platform Architecture”. Users currently have a convoluted process for managing access, file and folder organizing, and managing alerts with very few customization and personalization options and high risks of IDDs. Below you will see a chart detailing the frequency in which we saw the themes arise in our Thematic Analysis Report.

UX Items Prioritization

UX Prioritization: Effort-Impact Matrix
We used the effort-impact matrix method to prioritize the items (features, improvements & other research recommendations) to a roadmap of current and future phases of development.


Measuring the Impact
After the first phase of implementation of the research recommendations, we saw a 30% reduction of support tickets raised to the customer support team for July from AO segment clients and an 18% increase of new clients migrating from the legacy platforms.
