Case Study: Metacloud achieves a premium OpenStack experience with Interactivism

Metacloud launches premium OpenStack UX with Interactivism, leading to Cisco acquisition in 2014

metacloud, a provider of a premium OpenStack private cloud solution, faced the challenge of differentiating its enterprise SaaS product in a market with difficult-to-use and visually generic cloud infrastructure. They engaged Interactivism to create a product experience that would match the quality of their underlying service.

Interactivism developed a scalable UX framework and a UI component library for all customer-facing products, including the company website and OpenStack dashboard. This solution transformed the open-source interface into a modern, premium experience. The success of this strategy was validated when metacloud was acquired by Cisco in 2014, proving the user experience was a key competitive differentiator.
