## Challenge

Sprawled across many campus locations, the University of California HR department decided unity was needed. Looking to consolidate all HR services into a single digital solution that was user-friendly, accessible, and most of all supports the requirements of their over 200,000 staff and academic employees. 

## Solution

For both the design and development of this new portal, our team used innovative, agile methods to deliver client requirements. Our design carefully incorporated web accessibility and screen-reader features, delivering a fully accessible site, for all users.

Appnovation created a role-dependent dashboard and overall portal with readily available benefits information, policies and other HR-related information.

During the design stage, University of California stakeholders were invited to undertake performing contrast testing on all design mock-ups, ensuring that the development and implementation complied with WCAG 2.0 guidelines.

## Result

With a new, innovative, UI and U X focused portal, the University of California’s UCPath Center has a single, payroll, benefits, human resources and academic personnel system solution for all UC employees at all locations. Today, almost 80 percent of employee and faculty questions are answered via self-service functionality through UCPATH, and calls to the center have been reduced to 20 percent of the call volume before the portal was launched.
