Enterprise SaaS rarely loses to better tech. It loses to interfaces that didn’t keep up.
Dizzion runs Desktop-as-a-Service for regulated enterprise. BPO, financial services, healthcare, insurance. Their SaaS, Cosmos Control Center (C3), runs the entire estate: data centers, PODs, virtual desktops, contracts, support. The engine was capable. The interface was a flat list of cards from 2015. Prospects were bouncing to cleaner products before they ever saw the demo.
A live product, not a redesign sandbox. Real enterprise customers ran workloads on C3 every day, we couldn’t pause the platform while we rebuilt it. Every change had to ship into a running system.
100+ screens, every module on the same primitives. A flat-list dashboard, modal-heavy IA, raw vSphere config exposed in operator UI, the rework had to be deep enough to fix the architecture, not just the paint.
Prove it first. Dizzion wasn’t going to hand over the whole platform on a pitch. They scoped a trial sprint on the one module prospects bounced from, the Data Center dashboard, and waited to see what landed.
Denovers completely revamped our SaaS application by introducing a new stunning UI, enhancing the overall product experience. A strategic approach to UX design ensured holistic improvements, through which Denovers was able to provide value to the product.
Dizzion is a Gartner Magic Quadrant DaaS leader running regulated enterprise workloads, financial services, healthcare, BPO, contact centers. C3 was already in market and already working, but bleeding prospects before they hit the demo. The trial scoped the Data Center module, the most-used and most-broken surface in C3. We shipped new IA, a world-map dashboard, list+map toggle, and scope filters. The trial converted into a full-application redesign.
Before redrawing 100+ screens, we built the primitives that would render them: tokens, tables, filters, breadcrumbs, tabs, charts, status pills, all token-driven so light and dark themes ran on the same component library. From there we staged the rebuild module by module. Every entity got its own URL with breadcrumb trail, modals became tabbed deep-dives, raw vSphere config was translated into structured wizards. Bi-weekly working sessions with PM, design, and engineering; the team scaled 2 to 5 designers as scope grew. Two years on, the system carries 100+ screens and earned a verified Clutch 5.0 across every category.
C3 wasn’t broken, it was outpaced by its own interface. The dashboard was a flat scrolling stack of equal-weight data-center cards with no map, no scope, no “where is my fire today?” The brand was stuck in 2015 with six shades of orange across one screen and no visual hierarchy. Navigation happened through modals over dimmed pages, no breadcrumbs, no URLs, no side-by-side. And the operator UI leaked raw vSphere template variables like $vcenterserver straight into customer-facing forms.
The C3 home is where every Dizzion operator and customer lands first. We replaced the flat scrolling stack of identical cards with geography, a world map of data centers, status-coded pins, scope filters across Data Center Type / Location / POD / Health, a List/Map toggle, and an inline detail card with capacity ring + KPIs that deep-links to the full record. Same surface shipped in both light and dark themes, the trial deliverable that earned the dual-theme bet for the rest of the platform.
Below the dashboard, C3 is a hierarchy. Data Center → POD → Customer → Resource Pool. We rebuilt the flat modal-over-page IA as breadcrumb-driven detail pages with tabbed deep-dives so an operator reads the whole entity from one URL. The Data Center page leads with a capacity ring and KPIs (VMs / Servers / Customers / Private Clouds) plus tabs for Summary / PODs / VLANs / Network IPs / Monitor. POD Management gets its own capacity dashboard. Customer Resource Pool drops one level deeper with CPU / RAM / DISK tiles. Same primitives across all three levels.
Onboarding a new Dizzion customer used to mean an ops engineer walking the team through a forest of $vcenterserver-style config fields. We rebuilt the intake as the Customer Build wizard, a chevron stepper walking through PREP → Build → Integrate → App, with nested sub-wizards inside each stage (Integrate runs VPN Name → VPN Details → IKE Phase 1 → IKE Phase 2 → Active Directory). Same wizard pattern then propagates through Provisioning Requests, Tasks, and Scheduled Maintenance.
Finance (contracts, billing) and Support (service requests, ticketing, maintenance) used to feel like separate apps stapled to one nav. We rebuilt them on the same component family the rest of the platform uses. Contract View / Customer View tabs, expandable rows, saved filters, status pills, breadcrumb-driven detail pages. Same primitives, two different jobs, which is the whole point of a system.
None of the surfaces above, dashboard, drill-down, wizard, finance, support, were drawn one-off. They’re assembled from a component-based design system we built from scratch alongside the redesign: tokens, tables, filters, steppers, modals, status pills, breadcrumbs, charts, page shells. The same primitives render both light and dark themes without forking. The system is what kept 100+ screens consistent, and what continued to carry the platform through Frame integration after Dizzion’s 2023 acquisition.
Dizzion came to us with a SaaS that worked and an interface that didn’t. Two years later, C3 carries 100+ redesigned screens, a component-based design system from scratch, dual light + dark themes, and an IA that matches the work it manages.
