Welcome to the team
We’re so happy you’re here!
Hello, new designer!
This platform is designed to provide you with an effective, smooth and delightful start.
We are not only supporting you digitally. You’ll have your manager and UX Buddy ready to answer all your questions. So whenever you miss something or don’t understand what e.g. “VCDM” means – just ask!
Before you start exploring, we recommend you to sign up for a UX Buddy, and we will connect you as soon as possible.
Your first 90 days at Visma
This platform is meant to be a helpful tool and a collection of useful shortcuts. But your first 90 days at Visma is something more. This 90 day journey doesn’t end here. This is only the beginning!
What are UX Buddies all about?
Whether you were hired to a project or joined Visma via acquisition, we know that the first time in a new company can be overwhelming. To make sure you have a good start, we want to invite you to be part of our UX Buddy program.
Your UX Buddy is your go to person for everything design related and beyond. For example, your UX Buddy can introduce you to how we work with UX in Visma, get you going with our design language Nordic Cool, help you set up your tools, connect you with people or simply offer additional eyes and thoughts on design tasks.
By having a UX Buddy, our hope is that you will be integrated in the design community and Visma a little faster than if you had to do it all on your own.
