Case Study:

GlobeSmart User Interface Design

Meridian Resource's GlobeSmart application offers instant access to detailed, country-specific information on doing business and interacting effectively with people from over 40 countries around the world. Meridian Resources faced limitations with their current user interface as they sought to add content and resources to improve the value of the application for their customers. AtreNet addressed these issues with a professional new design that incorporated significant usability enhancements and an extensible information architecture.

AtreNet came through for us on a very complex project. They went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did they give us a fresh and professional new design for our GlobeSmart application, they identified opportunities for improving functionality that really enhanced the user experience.

- Ted Dale, Managing Director, Meridian Resources


The Challenge

  • The existing application lacked a professional, modern UI design.
  • Meridian Resources was ready to enhance GlobeSmart with additional content and features, but the existing information architecture did not support this expansion.
  • Navigation within the application was inordinately complex and inflexible.
  • The value of the content was mitigated by the lack of structure and visual hierarchy.

The Solution


  • AtreNet conducted a comprehensive survey of the existing application, and developed far-reaching strategies for enhancements in usability and features.
  • We provided recommendations for enhanced labeling, content chunking and navigation systems.
  • We developed centralized "dashboards" for each country with one-click access to a wealth of features and resources.
  • We illustrated our recommendations using wire frames and user flows, and worked closely with the client to define the final functional components of the application.
  • We developed the final templates that incorporated these new features within a striking and highly usable design.
  • We developed complete template kits for over 20 screens to ensure efficient and accurate implementation by the third-party agency involved in the final integration of the new design.
  • The resulting system includes exciting new capabilities and streamlined user processes that will enhance Meridian Resource's ability to serve and engage their customers.
