Project Overview

Enhancing an Existing Platform

HP Managed Print Services (MPS) is a strategic partnership that helps organisations embrace a modern workplace — covering hybrid work, digital workflows, cloud, security, and sustainability solutions. This engagement was not a greenfield project; it was an ongoing enhancement effort based on requirements from Business Analysts, iteratively improving three existing portals used by global HP partners and resellers.

Objective

Three Portals.
One Platform.

The core objective was to consolidate and revamp the HP MPS portals, creating a unified platform that enhances user experience and streamlines access to services and resources for partners worldwide.

🔗
Portal Consolidation
Merge three existing portals into a single, centralised platform with seamless navigation and a consistent experience across all user types.
🖥️
Screen Revamp
Refine visual design and layout of all portal screens — ensuring intuitive navigation, clear information presentation, and enhanced usability based on BA requirements.
⚙️
Design System
Establish a comprehensive design system standardising components, typography, and colour palettes using HP's Veneer system for consistency across the platform.

Design Process

Research-Led,
BA-Driven Execution

The engagement followed a structured UX process — beginning with thorough research and stakeholder alignment, then moving into information architecture, wireframing in Axure RP 10, and iterative design refinement. Each sprint was driven by requirements from Business Analysts, with UX decisions grounded in user research findings.

Working model: Requirements were delivered by Business Analysts based on client needs. My role was to translate those requirements into UX designs using Axure RP 10 for wireframes, Figma for high-fidelity screens and the design system, and FigJam for flows and collaborative workshops.
Phase 01
Discovery
User Research & Stakeholder Engagement
Conducted in-depth interviews with end users of the MPS portals to understand their pain points, expectations, and workflow patterns. Gathered insights from key stakeholders including clients and HP team members to identify business objectives, brand guidelines, and technical requirements.
Phase 02
Benchmarking
Industry Benchmarking & Competitive Analysis
Conducted thorough research on existing platforms in the managed print services space to identify best practices in UX, visual design, and functionality. Created detailed flowcharts in FigJam mapping the existing system architecture and identifying consolidation opportunities.
Phase 03
Architecture
Information Architecture & Flow Mapping
Built comprehensive user flow diagrams covering the full portal ecosystem — Dashboard, Opportunities, Proposals, Customer onboarding, and Billing flows. Mapped all system dependencies, billing processes, and partner role distinctions that affect navigation and access.
Phase 04
Wireframing
Wireframing in Axure RP 10
Commenced iterative wireframing using Axure RP 10 — building interactive prototypes with dynamic panels, conditional logic, and realistic data states. Each screen was refined based on BA feedback, evolving requirements, and usability review cycles before moving to high fidelity.
Phase 05
Design System
Design System & High-Fidelity in Figma
Established the HP-MPC design system in Figma using HP's Veneer framework — standardising buttons, typography (Forma DJR Display & Micro), colour palette, iconography, and component states. Applied the design system consistently across all 30+ screens.
Information Architecture

System Flowcharts &
User Journey Mapping

Created detailed FigJam flowcharts mapping the complete pMPS system — covering all major flows including Dashboard, Opportunities, Proposals, Customer management, and the full Onboarding journey. These diagrams served as the single source of truth for the entire BA and engineering team.

Key mapping decisions: Documented partner role distinctions (Managed page vs. Managed Complete vs. Managed Supplies vs. Managed Component), contract types (New Business, Add On, Renewals), and coterminous logic — all critical for designing the correct conditional flows in the portal.
Wireframe Iteration

Before & After —
Axure RP 10

Every screen went through multiple wireframe iterations in Axure RP 10, incorporating BA requirements and usability review feedback. Below is an example of the Add Accessories modal — a complex, data-heavy screen that underwent significant structural redesign. The original had poor information hierarchy and lacked usable interaction patterns. The revamped version introduces proper table structure, column headers, editable inline fields, and action buttons.

After — Revamped Design (Figma)

📐
Structural Redesign
Replaced unstructured list layout with a proper data table — column headers, checkboxes, inline editable quantity fields, and calculated totals visible at a glance.
🔁
Iterative Refinement
Each Axure prototype was shared with BAs for review. Feedback was incorporated within the same sprint before handoff to high-fidelity Figma screens.
Usability Improvements
Added search, "Select all SKUs" toggle, required accessory indicators, and three clear action buttons — Reset Target Pricing, Cancel, and Apply.
Design System

HP Veneer —
Applied Design System

HP uses the Veneer Design System for unified user experiences across all products. For the MPS portal, the design system was implemented in Figma — covering typography, colour palette, iconography, and component states. All 30+ screens adhere to these standards, ensuring consistency across every portal and supporting rapid iteration.

🔠
Typography
Forma DJR Display for headlines (40pt+) with tighter spacing. Forma DJR Micro for body text with looser letter spacing for legibility at smaller sizes.
🎨
Colour Palette
Core HP blue (#0096D6) as the primary action colour, combined with neutrals. Colour blocks used within layouts primarily in combination with typography.
🔘
Components
Standardised button states (default, onclick, disabled), form inputs, data tables, navigation patterns, and modal components — all built in Figma and reused across screens.
Solution

30+ Screens.
One Cohesive System.

The final solution delivered a unified, scalable portal system — consolidating three separate experiences into one platform with a shared design language. All screens were built iteratively: wireframed in Axure RP 10 to validate structure and interactions, then translated to high-fidelity designs in Figma using the HP-MPC design system, before handoff to the engineering team.

Figma — Solution Overview
Solution Overview
01
Wireframing in Axure RP 10
Built all screens as interactive wireframes in Axure RP 10 — using dynamic panels, conditional logic, and realistic data to simulate actual portal behaviour. Iterated based on BA feedback each sprint.
02
Design Standards via Veneer
Implemented HP's Veneer design system in Figma — establishing scalable, efficient, and consistent standards for all components, typography, spacing, and colour across the platform.
03
HP-MPC Design System Build
Developed a comprehensive design system in Figma specifically for HP-MPC, providing a unified component library and design guidelines reused across all 30+ screens.
04
High-Fidelity & Developer Handoff
Applied the design system to all high-fidelity screens in Figma, ensuring design-to-code consistency. Collaborated directly with engineering teams during handoff to maintain fidelity in production.
Key Takeaways

Lessons from
Enterprise-Scale UX

Tool Adaptability
Self-taught Axure RP 10 from scratch to meet project-specific tooling requirements — delivering complex interactive wireframes with conditional logic on schedule without sacrificing quality.
🤝
BA Collaboration
Working in a BA-driven model required translating functional requirements into UX-led design decisions — balancing technical constraints with user needs across each sprint cycle.
📐
Design System ROI
Building the HP-MPC design system early in the engagement significantly accelerated screen production — reusable components in Figma reduced per-screen design time across the 30+ deliverables.
