UI MODERNIZATION FOR E-LEARNING APP
About Client
SkillDirector is a company from the United States that builds enterprise software for employee skill assessment and learning. Its Self-Directed Learning Engine™ helps organizations identify skill gaps, assess workforce capabilities, and create personalized learning paths. The platform also gives leadership teams a structured view of skills across the organization.
Project Problems
Business
Low customer satisfaction caused by an outdated interface and significant technical debt, which slowed product evolution and negatively impacted retention.
User Experience
The risk of losing key enterprise customers increased due to growing market competition and the limited scalability of the legacy platform.
An inconsistent user experience and slow delivery cycles resulted from the lack of strong frontend expertise and limited ability to scale the frontend team when needed.
Technology Stack
A very tight delivery timeline required meeting commitments to enterprise customers such as LinkedIn, Honeywell, General Electric, and PPG while migrating from a legacy architecture to a modern Angular-based SPA.
Our Solutions
Business
We delivered the alpha release on schedule with strong early feedback. A production beta followed within three months, enabling a smooth and controlled migration of all existing customers to the new platform.
User Experience
We met enterprise-level expectations and successfully retained key customers, including LinkedIn, PPG, Honeywell, and General Electric, preventing churn to competing solutions.
By strengthening core product capabilities, scalability, and overall maturity, we rebuilt trust with former customers and improved long-term platform adoption.
Technical
We eliminated more than 80% of the legacy bug backlog, resulting in a significantly more stable and performant application and enabling a much faster pace of future development.
Implementation Highlights
Self assessment
Users evaluate themselves against criteria related to their current role or a role they aspire to move into.
Managers then review these self-assessments and add their own evaluations.
Finally, HR teams and managers analyze the results through dashboards to determine readiness for new roles or responsibilities.
Learning options
Based on assessment results, users receive personalized learning recommendations targeting identified skill gaps.
They can select relevant options and add them to a development plan, creating a structured roadmap for skill growth in the near future.
After completing learning tasks, users can reassess their skills and track progress over time.
“I was impressed by how quickly these talented developers adapted. I urgently needed frontend work, and they stepped in right away. They took the time to deeply understand our platform and its complex workflows, and their proactive attitude made a huge difference. I couldn't have delivered without them.”
