Challenges
- Replace the old windows system and server.
- Poor internet connectivity, which created a deployment and support issues.
- Integrating LDAP for user authentication and access information.
- Connecting their existing data of employees from the Oracle database along with the Microsoft SQL database.
Strategic Approach
All the client’s requirements were feasible.
The business analysis began with understanding the client’s business in-depth, identifying the users, discovering user stories, designing wireframes, analyzing the budget, and discussing project requirements with the client. We then identified the gap between the client’s requirement and our analysis to ensure all essential features are included. Our comprehensive research has helped us to gather essential project requirements, prepare the scope of work, and validate with the client's requirement. Accordingly, we have suggested some changes in scope and process too.
Before the actual project started we collected the following documentation to ensure we are building the right application
