Proven Design Solutions Users Recognize

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel or rely on external controls, frameworks, or libraries when building with I3DS. The design system provides a comprehensive set of standardized components, such as buttons, forms, and navigation elements, eliminating the need for third-party tools. This approach not only ensures design consistency but also enhances security and performance across the Infra 360 suite.

I3DS delivers a familiar, cohesive experience that allows users to navigate seamlessly across products. By leveraging built-in components tailored to the Infra 360 ecosystem, teams can create user-friendly interfaces that meet accessibility and usability standards without adding external dependencies. This consistency allows users to move confidently between products, resulting in a unified and intuitive experience throughout the Progress platform.

Team Alignment and Unified Goals

I3DS fosters alignment within teams by promoting shared design principles and goals. The design system’s foundational principles offer a framework that unites teams around a human-centered design philosophy:

Begin with real user needs.
Build trust.
Embed accessibility at every step.
Promote continuity.
Listen and adapt.

These principles guide teams across Progress in achieving a cohesive, user-centric experience across all Infra 360 products.

Focus on Efficiency and Innovation

With I3DS, teams can concentrate on strategic solutions rather than foundational elements. By providing a solid, reusable design foundation, I3DS accelerates development and allows teams to focus on higher-level goals. This design system supports your brand’s unique identity and mission, adapting to the look, feel, and requirements of each Infra 360 product.

When the design system improves, so do the projects using it. Every enhancement in I3DS—whether accessibility improvements, bug fixes, or performance optimizations—benefits all applications leveraging the system, helping reduce technical debt at scale and enhancing user experience across the board.

A Cross-Functional Design System Community

I3DS encourages collaboration across teams, breaking down silos and building a shared knowledge base. As adoption of the design system grows, so does the community of designers, developers, and product owners who contribute to its evolution. This community fosters the exchange of ideas and best practices, enabling teams to learn from one another and develop innovative solutions that benefit everyone.

Your contributions to I3DS—whether through feedback, new components, or refined standards—enhance the system for all Progress teams and strengthen the community’s collective expertise.

Effective Resource Stewardship

I3DS promotes efficiency, governance, and scalability within Progress. By sharing improvements across the system, each team benefits from the collective expertise and innovation of the entire Progress organization. The design system preserves institutional knowledge, streamlines decision-making, and helps deliver effective solutions efficiently.

Our commitment to excellence in design reflects Progress’s dedication to quality, user-centricity, and continuous improvement. I3DS is built to help our teams perform at their best, delivering lasting impact across all Infra 360 products.
