User experience is becoming as crucial as functionality for enterprise systems’ users. Enterprises now expect intuitive and cohesive interfaces that enhance engagement at every touchpoint. The design frameworks are no longer just aesthetic choices, they also drive productivity in business applications. Oracle Redwood, Oracle’s modern design system, is setting a new standard for user experience, redefining intuitive design across the entire suite of Oracle solutions.
The vision behind Oracle Redwood
With Oracle Redwood, it’s the end of fragmented and inconsistent interfaces. Oracle has embedded design thinking into the heart of its ecosystem. It’s not just the design change though. Redwood, at its core, helps customers use data in a more intuitive and cohesive way, reinventing the utilization of Oracle applications by its customers.
Standout features of Redwood that sets it apart
Oracle Redwood introduces a suite of powerful design features that enhance usability, accessibility and consistency across the Oracle ecosystem. Here are some features that make Redwood unique:
- Seamless and unified search interface: Redwood includes a powerful search capability that allows users to find data seamlessly and quickly across the platform from a single search bar. This reduces reliance on manual navigation, enhancing efficiency and precision in data retrieval. The search interface makes it easier for new and experienced users to retrieve files, records and related insights, resulting in increased productivity.
- Best-in-class user interface design: Oracle Redwood emphasizes a clean and intuitive interface, reducing cognitive load and making information easily accessible. The layout prioritizes essential data, which is valuable in data-heavy applications, where cluttered interfaces can slow down workflows.
- Machine learning and predictive insights: Redwood integrates Oracle’s machine learning capabilities which helps in adapting the interface based on user behavior. Over time, the system learns user preferences and makes proactive suggestions. The feature supports streamlining tasks and making data-driven decisions. Not only that, but the capability can also be especially helpful for complex, repetitive tasks as the system surfaces pertinent data and suggests next steps.
