Harmonizing Products with Different Design Systems
When integrating products from different design systems, the first step is to evaluate the existing product and its user experience. The focus is on identifying areas for improvement and opportunities for integration with other products in the suite. The goal is to provide more value to users by integrating features and workflows. Consistency in menu structures and larger layouts is important to create a unified experience across products. The design system plays a significant role in this integration process, providing guidelines and standards for visual language and accessibility. Although it can be a challenge to adopt the design system in acquired products, the long-term benefits in terms of efficiency, consistency, and improved user experience make it worth the investment.
