Design systems have become an essential part of modern product design. As a collection of reusable components, guidelines, and principles that help designers and developers create cohesive and consistent experiences across products and platforms, design systems accelerated the regular implementation, reducing the TCO (total cost of ownership) of a solution, saving time, reducing inconsistencies, and ensure a cohesive brand identity, among other things. Design systems are also beneficial for collaboration, as they provide a shared vocabulary and understanding of the design language within a team.
The HCL DX Blueprint encapsulate all benefits of using a Design System with frameworks that fuels Design Ops and Development Ops.
The Blueprint Design System includes a range of components, such as color palettes, typography, icons, buttons, forms, and more. Each component is designed with specific guidelines and principles, ensuring that they are used consistently across different applications and platforms. The patterns and components are developed according to best practices resulting from years of experience successfully deploying customer and employee facing solutions worldwide, across multiple industries.
The Blueprint Design System promotes efficiency and consistency. By creating a library of reusable components, designers and developers can work more efficiently and consistently, reducing the time and effort required to create new products and features.
Focused on maintaining branding, the Blueprint defines the design as a language, helping to ensure that products and features are aligned with the company’s brand identity and values since the Zero-day.
The Blueprint Design System is designed to support continuous scaling for design and development efforts. As companies grow and expand their product offerings, a design system can help ensure that the design and development teams are aligned and working towards the same goals.
Designed for scalable deployments and workloads, the blueprint enables:
- Modern and agile user experiences served through scalable digital platforms;
- User tested and adopted information architecture;
- Designed around the needs of content authors;
- Tested catalog of components, templates, workflows, training, etc;
- Hyper personalization capabilities;
- Flexible design systems;
- Built for the needs of large and small organizations, incorporating security, governance, change management.
