EMC Documentum D2: Powerful configuration services with a spreadsheet-style approach. Documentum D2 delivers rapid time to value, a modern and intuitive client interface, and simplified application implementation.
EMC aquired the D2 application in early 2012. I was assigned to redesign the product to improve usability, create a more customizable experience, and create a modern visual design that fit's EMC's family of Documentum products.
The former spreadsheet application was remodeled with a library of widgets and workspaces that an administrator can provide and end-users can customize.
