Why nominated
Best Findability of Products in a DevPortal
The Equifax for Developers portal is organized with a “many ways for many brains” approach by prioritizing the findability and accessibility for organic self-service exploration. Our main landing page directs developers to three key actions: exploring our API offerings, learning how to become our customer, and accessing the portal quick guides. We also make it easy for users to find our most popular product by highlighting in a "Product Spotlight" section prominently displayed on the home page. With an intuitive user interface, our portal offers a natural workflow for users to find, try, learn, and create with just a few clicks. On a single page, our extensive collection of products is organized in a consistent manner by presenting product names in alpha order, descriptors, and value propositions for easy browsing and comparison. To enhance search, products can be filtered by customer lifecycle and data type, allowing them to quickly narrow-in on solutions that best fit their specific business needs. Products that are often used together are contained in a “suite” as a way to suggest applicable combinations to help expand and refine strategies. All our detailed business and technical information, along with sandbox access, are readily available post-login, ensuring users have all the resources necessary to find, understand and integrate our products seamlessly.
Best Served API Business Model
Our products are intentionally structured with consistency enabling users to quickly learn the value in a self-service manner. Each Product’s Overview documentation helps a user understand, “Why should I use this product, and how will it help me solve the business problem I’m trying to address?”. The repeatable messaging framework emphasizes the product's functionalities, value propositions, and relatable business use cases. By providing clear benefits, features, and intended audiences, users can quickly understand how our API products address their specific business challenges. This business model helps users expedite their time-to-development and drive innovation faster than ever before.
