Developed a simplified employee portal for a Fortune 500 health insurance company.
The brief.
A leading Health insurance company enterprise utilizes a corporate intranet portal where employees search for information and resources.The organization has 60,000+ employees, excluding contractors. A key challenge to using the portal was its inaccessibility from mobile devices. Employees couldn’t find information they needed on the go without connecting to the internal network. This challenge gave way to an exciting opportunity to develop a more personalized and human-centric mobile experience.
Our approach.
The Ascendum Digital team solved the problem by creating an interactive mobile app, available for both iOS and Android, designed to form better bonds with colleagues, the company and its communities.

The home screen dynamically adapts and brings together all relevant information significant to company employees such as Featured News, Wall of Fame, and Office Location information.
Company Focused
