Case Study

Northeastern University

40Q’s collaboration with Northeastern University revolutionized their digital presence, enhancing efficiency and productivity through a unified design system and a strategic partnership that delivered significant time and cost savings.

Northeastern University School of Law, renowned for its innovative legal education and diverse academic offerings, faced a unique digital challenge. With an ever-expanding student body and a wide array of programs, the School needed a robust digital platform to swiftly launch and manage various campaigns and content. However, their existing digital framework was a patchwork of different technologies, leading to maintenance difficulties and inefficiencies.

Challenge

A New Era of Digital Excellence

At 40Q, our collaboration with Northeastern University School of Law was not just about technological innovation; it was about transforming their digital narrative.

Our efforts led to significant time and cost savings, enhancing the productivity of their internal team. The School of Law experienced a marked improvement in their ability to communicate with their audience, manage content, and execute digital strategies effectively.

Solution

The Foundation of Digital Transformation

Central to our strategy was the development of a unified design system. This system wasn’t just a UI framework; it was a comprehensive solution that brought together various digital elements under a single, cohesive umbrella. By streamlining the design and development process, this system enabled the School of Law to maintain a consistent brand identity across all digital platforms, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Results

Working Hand in Hand with Northeastern

A key aspect of our success was our close partnership with the internal team at Northeastern University School of Law. We worked as an extension of their team, providing both engineering expertise and strategic guidance.

This collaborative approach allowed us to deeply understand their needs, challenges, and goals, leading to a more tailored and effective solution.

Our role as both partners and strategists was instrumental in aligning our efforts with the core objectives of the School of Law, ensuring a project outcome that was not only technically sound but also strategically aligned with their vision.

With 40Q, I was able to find a talented partner to help me deal with complex coding challenges while proactively proposing new solutions to make my agency project delightful.
