DSG Case Study
Issue
Enhancement of the “out of the box experience” for customers buying DSGi’s own brand PCs which include Advent and Ei-System by de-cluttering the desktop and improving system start up speed. To improve up sell opportunity through the guided use of bundled software.
Insight
As one of the UK’s leading digital agencies Monochrome partnered with Dot Net Solutions to design and build a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) application which allows for the easy categorisation, installation and launching of bundled applications on a new PC.
Solution
DSGi’s management team needed a highly intuitive UI (user interface) to deliver a smooth a pain free experience for the user, this project required an experienced design team to match expectation and requirement, with a demonstrated track record of delivering WPF solutions Monochrome were only too happy to support. Monochrome were one of the UK’s first digital agencies to be invited to join the partner channel and are one of Microsoft’s “go-to” partners when it comes to showcasing and developing applications on the Microsoft platform. DSGi were also particularly interested in Monochrome’s unique design-develop partnership with Dot Net – vital for a fast and professional delivery, on time and within budget.
“Launch” is available on PCs in stores today
Client Feedback
Adrian Munn, Sales & Marketing Director for Monochrome said, “this was an exciting project for Monochrome to be involved in, we’re always looking for opportunities that push the boundaries in terms of new age technology and client expectation, this is what we love to do. Monochrome and Dot Net’s partnership is cohesive in many different ways, using the Agile project methodology is just one but a fundamental player in detailing every aspect of a project to ensure we deliver within the allocated budget. This application is to be installed on 250,000 PCs a quarter so it was imperative that we delivered on time. We’re happy to report Launch is being very well received.”
