Platform Experience Optimization
Fluence improves live platforms by identifying user friction, adoption barriers, navigation issues, content gaps, and workflow problems—then prioritizing what should change first.
When to use this offering
This offering is useful when a platform, portal, hub, or internal tool has already launched, but users are not using it consistently or as intended. The issue may not be the technology itself. The experience may be difficult to navigate, cluttered with outdated content, unclear for different audiences, or disconnected from real workflows.
Adoption is lower than expected
The platform launched, but usage is limited, inconsistent, or concentrated within only a few teams or user groups.
Users still rely on workarounds
Employees continue using email, chat, meetings, shared folders, spreadsheets, or manual processes instead of the platform.
Content is hard to find
Resources, tools, dashboards, and guidance are buried under unclear menus, labels, categories, or search paths.
The experience has become cluttered
New content and features have accumulated without a clear structure, ownership model, or cleanup process.
Workflows do not match real work
Task paths, approvals, submissions, or self-service actions do not align with how users actually complete their responsibilities.
Different users need different paths
The platform treats every audience the same even though their roles, goals, permissions, and information needs differ.
Leadership does not know what to do next
Stakeholders need evidence to decide whether to improve, relaunch, expand, redesign, rebuild, or replace the platform.

What this can include
What Platform Experience Optimization Can Include
Every engagement is shaped by the platform type, user groups, current workflows, available usage information, technical constraints, and the business decisions stakeholders need to make next.
Great digital experiences are rarely improved through assumptions alone; they improve when user behavior, friction points, and business objectives are examined together. The interactive example below demonstrates how a Platform Experience Optimization engagement can uncover usability challenges, navigation issues, workflow inefficiencies, content gaps, and technical barriers across a digital platform. As you explore the experience, move through the findings, evidence, and recommendations to see how individual observations are translated into prioritized opportunities for improvement. The goal is to understand how real users experience the platform, where friction interrupts progress, and which changes will have the greatest impact on usability, adoption, efficiency, and business outcomes. By turning observations into actionable recommendations, organizations gain a practical roadmap for continuously improving the experiences their customers, employees, and partners rely on every day.
