Understanding your business needs, one solution at a time.
Slow Loading of Data
Less User Friendly
Impotent and Filter Less Reports
Defining The Problem
We have an itch to do deep research about the problem.
- The Educational University of New Zealand is a prestigious institution with its own personalized E-learning System.
- The system has been used for generating reports and student data results since the university’s inception.
- The reporting module of the E-learning System has become slow due to a lack of updates and limitations inherent in the Legacy System.
- The Legacy System has very few customization options available.

Understanding The Need
Our versatile portfolio makes this easy for us.
- The client and their staff faced hurdles due to the slow loading and limited customization options of the Reports.
- The legacy system had limitations that could not meet the client’s increasing needs over time.
- A complete re-engineering of the Reporting Module was required.
- The desired improvements included a Rich User Experience, elaborated Filter options, customized Dashboard reports, and a reduction in loading time.
What Zealous Proposed ?
Research. Understood. Proposed.
Complete Module Re-engineering
Complete re-engineering of the Reporting Module was proposed to address the current problems and to allow its users to get optimum benefits out of it.
Sub-Categorization of Reporting Module
We identified during requirement gathering that the Reporting Module is divided into three sub-categories namely “Static Reports”, “Dashboard Reports” and “Dynamic Reports”.
Pre-defined Filter Criteria
To allow users to fetch specific data into a report from the data, Zealous proposed some pre-defined filters to help users get hassle free relevant information.
The Journey
-
1
Client Visit
A Senior Professional visited the client’s premise for couple of weeks to understand their process and requirements.
-
2
Documentation
Based on the requirements gathered during client visit and Skype meetings, an entire document of scope and requirement understanding was prepared.
-
3
Wireframes and Mockups
Since it was complete re-engineering of the Reporting module, a mockup and wireframe of the proposed system was prepared for the client to approve before the actual development.
-
4
Agile Development
Based on the Scope of document and the mockup designs, the actual development of the Reporting Module was commenced.
-
5
Periodic Testing
We also catered our Client periodic testing regime on each stage of development.
The fight was tough but so fun to crack!
The biggest challenge was understanding the data flow of the system, as well as the importance and relevance of each field for reporting purposes. In addition, the system's massive database presented a problem of slow loading time for reports, and the compromised user experience of data presentation had to be redesigned.
- To overcome these challenges, various quick data loading methodologies were implemented to reduce loading times.
- A streamlined data flow was created to improve the system’s performance.
- The team dedicated significant time and effort to these efforts.
- The database was curated and optimized thoroughly to solve existing glitches.
