THE PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Error and Warning Alerts of the IBM SaaS Console were Not Clearly Visible to its Users, Causing Confusion.
User Pain Points
The ambiguous alert messages can lead to panic as the user wonders when their data will be lost.

The "Buy subscription" call-to-action is duplicated which can lead to users not taking action at all.

The second button is misplaced in a separate section, breaking the gestalt principle of proximity.

USER SOLUTION:
We Merged All Alerts in a Separate Section at the Top such that Users Can Quickly Find Recent Alerts.
