| Our Role |
This was a big project and though the requirements were pretty well defined our principal engineer on that project helped define unit level requirements from the big picture and put up a development plan.
After setting up the right architecture it was a smooth effort to see this project to completion. Our engineer on this project kept the project on time and on budget. |
| Benefits / Challenges / Successes |
In less then four months we developed and deployed the completed project saving time and money to the customer who wishes to refer anyone to Techliance for development services. |
