Empyrean Solutions provide a comprehensive risk and balance sheet management solution for the banking industry. The product suite is built around Empyrean ALM™, the most efficient and intuitive cash flow, forecasting and simulation engine on the market. 

Frontend has worked with their product team to deliver a suite of web-based tools for financial analysts and managers. Each product in the suite is targeted to meet a precise need in a particular context. The long-standing collaboration combines Empyrean’s deep sectoral knowledge of banking and risk with Frontend’s experience in establishing UI frameworks that are flexible, extensible and aligned with the needs of very specific users.

Fundamental to our approach is detailed research with end users. We have conducted over 100 interviews with bank staff in multiple locations across the USA. Developing a thorough understanding of their role and evaluating product solutions as part of the user centred design process. 

A key factor in the commercial success of the solution is to blend familiar spreadsheet style interactions with the powerful database functionality to automate wasteful manual operations and free up time for value generating analysis and reporting.

Frontend continues to work closely with the Empyrean product team to expand the offering and address the challenges of running a sound, compliant and successful financial institution in an ever-changing world.

Frontend’s ability to quickly understand the complex needs of financial analysts and to provide expert UX and UI input to project teams, has led to an ever expanding range of products that our customers love to use”. 

Frontend and Empyrean have built a collaboration that has the familiarity and product knowledge of an in-house UX team while retaining the broader perspective of an external design consultancy.
