Project Overview

The BI Application Modeler enables teams to build analytical solutions end-to-end (provisioning → deployment → advanced customization → maintenance). The previous UX had an overcrowded top bar and inconsistent tables. I rebuilt the IA, redesigned data tables, and established a new design system that now anchors future features.

The Problem

Research revealed the experience had become cluttered and hard to use: features were piled onto the top bar with little structure, data tables were inconsistent (making comparison and filtering difficult), and the app was not scalable or easy to maintain.

Navigation: overcrowded top bar
Data tables: inconsistent, hard to analyze
Scalability: fragile, hard to maintain

The Solution

We redesigned the platform to focus on a clear information architecture, consistent data tables, and a professional SaaS visual language that surfaces insights and reduces cognitive load.
