A new way to self-manage financial portfolios.

We had the pleasure to work with tetralog AG, Munich, on this ambitious project for their client sBroker. 

Having all the backend-, and technical competency in house, tetralog AG looked for a partner which could add Design-, and User Experience competency to the picture. And that way push their business into producing more holistic products, and at the same time aid their clients to push their "mobile first"-strategy. 

The outcome of this fruitful collaboration is a new way to navigate, edit and balance a Users Investment-Portfolio.

A beautiful and useful experience was created. Enough to create “wow”, but at the same time “conservative” enough to really advise in a scientific manner on potentials to re-balance the portfolio, depending on the users risk-appetite. The calculations made in the background are highly sophisticated and mathematical.

This was fun, and we are very happy to have found this perfect match.

Educate internal teams to create better IT solutions.

Contracted through Sibro Consulting, Agency Y created a 52 module training program for Credit Suisse, London across 5 categories (Strategy, Design, Research, Analysis & Modeling, Testing).

The core of the training is to give hands-on experience, and let people solve real world problems in the IT solution context.  

It's aim is to educate the internal teams, predominately the Business Analyst community on everything "UX". To create more user friendly internal, as well as client facing solutions.

It's a long term strategy to implement design centred thinking into the bank, and a bold step through doing it "the internal way", and get the existing staff up to speed. And we are looking forward to the full roll out of the training program in 2016. 

Goal: create the Nr. 1 "Things-around-you"-platform in Italy

The Secret World Platform is a social media driven "Things around you"- platform, with the ambition to become Italy's number one service in this area, launching in 2016.

It has organised partnerships with government authorities and several universities across Italy, and the concept was presented to the Vice-Prime Minister and Members of the European parliament. These partnerships are important to enable content is added with scale. 

The platform offers a variety of services for Users, from administrating their content, to tagging and mapping, to connecting and sharing ideas and messages. People can search by location, category, or a combination of searches to find the things they are interested most in.  

Stay tuned, Italy might move slow in the digital space, but if they come, it mostly was worth the wait...  Don't forget to watch the trailer below. 

Small consultancy helps big consultancy to transform global Top Tier 1 banks. 

Agency Y was hired by GFT Financial - London, on several occasions, to support them on 3 Top Tier 1 bank change programs.

The projects ranged from internal facing compliance and risk platforms, to client facing banking solutions, from green field projects, to brown field ones. 

Due to NDA we cannot share further information. But we feel honoured to have been asked on an ongoing basis to join them for work on top priority client accounts. 

Blending the borders of analogue and digital worlds. 

Agency Y was working on a interactive Showroom concept for a French fashion brand, involving real time visitior's feedback on site. 

The solution was to make the Showroom's visitor's contribute to the look of the Showroom, by making specific parts of the Showroom "editable" via the visitor's mobile devices. For example lighting, projected pictures, and various other installation elements like sounds, and moving props. 

The interactive experience was fully integrated with the brand's social media channels. 

Supporting the hot shot of Financial Consultancies. 

Capco for sure is one of the hottest Fin-tech Consultancies in London at the moment. Agency Y was asked to support the team in 3 application design projects. The tasks ranged from UX Design, Prototyping, User Interface Design, Workflow Processes, User Journeys to Brand Design and User Testing. 

All applications were built for cross device usage, and from scratch, so the solution could be pitched to clients. We cannot share much more due to NDA restrictions. But we can say, that we were happy to contribute to this Mojo heavy environment. They do many things very right, chapeau. 

Create magic animals and conquer the evil. 

"Behind the Matrix" is a Touchscreen Game in development by Agency Y. It's about a group of "magic animals" batteling against "evil forces".

With a very unique, phantasy rich game play and a trendy soundtrack, players can create their own "hero animals", experience adventures, battle in groups, build troops, and solve puzzle-like challenges. All wrapped in a casual, highly addicting game. 

The notion of "Life science" plays and important part in the game play. Animals can be manipulated in their DNA and spread or fight deceases to gain a competitive edge in the fight against "evil"

Stay tuned, there is more to come.
