We need several icons to indicate personal workspaces for different type of user(s) of our SaaS-based CRM.
We offer a front- and middle-office management software for the alternative assets industry - private equity, hedge funds, real estate, institutional investors, etc - thourgh our proprietary software called Dynamo. The company's main office is in Boston.
The workspaces in question represent personalized Home pages, based on the user persona - there is a workspace for Investor Relations people, another for Deal Management people, etc. There is also a "My Home" workspace where the user can arrange their own informatation. One user can have access to sevaral workspaces, they are not limited to just one.
The buttons that will point the user the workspaces, will be placed on top left position of the screen, one under the other, as a list. The icons will be coupled with text.
Here is the list of all workspaces for which we need icons - a total of 8 icons (with explanations):
• My Home
(personalized home workspace for the logged in user)
• Fundraising
Raising money for a fund.
• Investor Relations
The management of existing client relationships
• Deal Management
The management of new investments
• Portfolio Management
The management of existing investments
• Research Management
The gathering of information about the market, industry trends, innovations, etc.
• Resource Management
The management of people resources
• Portal Management
Managing of user accounts for our investor portal. This is setting up new users, editing existing users, and deactivating prior users.
The default colors of the Dynamo application are light-blue and light-grey, but we also provide different skins, so it will be good to see a couple of versions, in different colors.
