I interviewed a number of our Client Services Specialists located in the U.S. who were the primary users of the tool and also observed them using the existing product to discover their goals, pain points and typical scenarios. We also discovered that the users had to do alot of manual data processing outside of the tool, which we were keen to address in the new product.
