Project goals

Before we build the application all the process has been tracked with Excel spreadsheets, however that was a huge burden for our client, as it required making changes in multiple places as well as ensuring data consistency and manual validation. So the main goal was to eliminate usage of spreadsheet, reduce the amount of manual actions and speed up process in general.

Our solutions

After converting the client's framework into a web application we were able to significantly speed up the process and allow program managers to process more work in less time. The process was partially automated, which allowed to eliminate all redundant actions. Also application ensures user input validation and builds relations. Additionally application automatically compiles a ToDo list for program managers out of entered data to avoid missing of necessary actions. The application was implemented with a high level of abstraction allowing application extension with very least development and testing efforts, which makes the app extremely flexible. Features: ToDo list, interviews & employment tracking, events management, classes reservation, mentorship, reporting, state authorization report

Result

Given solution allowed business to save money on the transitioning process by significantly increasing program managers efficiency because of automation of multiple processes, avoiding human errors (those required much time to resolve) and auto generated ToDo list.
