BorderWare's networking products needed new user interfaces for the next generation of their security devices.
The new user interfaces include a new design that matched the corporate identity and brand, and improved the overall look and feel of the products.
The usability of the interfaces was improved dramatically, using some common practices and patterns, as well as innovative new techniques.
Usability, interaction, and style patterns were standardized across the products to provide a consistent experience.
