Clients and internal developer teams both benefit from an accelerated 'design-to-development-to-market' methodology leveraging the Linedata Design System
Linedata Design System accelerates the ‘design-to-development-to-market’ process for our Asset Management Technology solutions and significantly enhances user interactions. Manish Sahni, head of product design, shares his experience developing and leveraging a software product design ethos that benefits both development objectives and client experience.
Overview
Design system principles enable scale & efficiency
Imagine yourself in a completely new city. Yet, instinctively, you recognize the signs, and the roadways are laid out in a way that feels intuitive. You can even anticipate the behavior of other drivers. With this level of familiarity, it's easy to see how you could drive safely and efficiently, even in an unfamiliar place.
At Linedata, the same approach applies to the investment management solutions and products we build, which have the Linedata Design System (LDS) at their core.
Design systems create a common theme among software user interfaces, enabling a consistent product development language; it becomes easier to scale and reuse designs that are aesthetically pleasing and makes it simpler to improve product development efficiency. With a consistent software product design language, it is easier to scale, reuse good design and accelerate product go-to-market capacity.
Liquify's advantage in building software for asset managers
The backbone of the Linedata Design System is a proprietary technology called Liquify. The Liquify framework is a collection of components that target specific user interactions within Linedata’s software solutions. Building these reusable elements, which work seamlessly together, creates an end-to-end solution for scaling good product design. It makes transitioning from concept through launch easier with a significant value impact at every intermediary stage.
The Linedata Design System isn't a point in time, one off tool but instead is a core element of an ongoing process that feeds on quick iterations. It is integral to how we create products and is fundamental to our overall asset management platform strategy: to provide scalable, modular products and solutions that are easy to implement and a pleasure for clients to use.

How do clients benefit from the Linedata Design System?
- Faster time to market. Design systems make the process more efficient by breaking design elements into homogenized components. Planning, designing, testing, and coding are all streamlined.
- Improved client satisfaction. The Design System makes tracking what users like and dislike easy, ensuring our products include only the UX elements our clients prefer.
- Smooth internal communication for better UX. A standardized design process minimizes miscommunication by enabling everyone involved to see and engage with the design system both as a whole and for each detailed component part.
- Fewer version control issues get new features into client hands quickly. Updating the same bug on different products is annoying and time-consuming. With design systems, we update once, and it populates all occurrences.
- Consistency across all products improves adoption. Ultimately, integrating a strong and viable design system adds significant business value as products go-to-market more efficiently and users benefit from a positive and efficient solution adoption experience.
Linedata Design System enables our product teams to deliver high level excellence and client benefits across all Linedata asset management products, apps, and sites.
