Business Situation

Earlier, the Client managed all its events and seminars manually. This was a tedious task for the company. To overcome the problem of manual work involving too many man hours, the Client decided to automate its process. The Client wanted to have a database driven Web based application that will help the organization of events by allowing all aspects associated with the organization to be handled online.

However, this new demand of the Client was accompanied with greater expectation from the participants; becoming difficult for the Client to cater to all. At this time, the Client showed faith in Q3 and decided to hire its services.
