Credit Suisse, a leading global financial services company, recently established a UX practice within its Sales and Trading division in London. During the team-building process, a new strategic approach to overhauling legacy software was necessary.

The development and maintenance of internal tools are essential to the daily workflow of those in financial services. However, with business and technology so ingrained and dominant in the culture of building software, design had to first find its place.
