  A year after the mergers that created the company, Thomson Reuters realized that they had over 500 different software programs serving their tens of thousands of financial services customers. Few of these programs looked or acted like they had anything to do with each other.

  Thomson Reuters approached Cooper to create a platform that would unify the experiences across multiple user groups and channels, including web, smartphone, and iPad applications. User groups included ³C-suite² leaders, investor relations professionals, investment banks, portfolio managers, and treasury professionals.

The team will share personas, scenarios, designs, and demos.
