FOCUS AREA
Challenge, approach, and impact
Overcoming Limitations of Outdated Policy Application
At the heart of HDI’s operations is a Policy application, a crucial tool developed in 2009 for managing contracts, drafting policy documents, and issuing invoices. The application’s outdated complex architecture and limited functionality were slowing business operations. The IT and business teams struggled to understand each other’s needs due to their different spheres of work.
The application needed a revamp, and HDI needed support on how to navigate the complex transformation. They needed a partner that could propose tech upgrades and solutions that would enable business continuity without starting from scratch.
Ensuring Cloud Compatibility for Policy Application
As part of the modernization process, HDI needed the new Policy application to be compatible with cloud technology. Our expertise was essential in developing a cloud-ready solution to meet HDI's evolving needs and optimize the business operations.
Choosing a New Partner
A previous partnership with a vendor had failed to provide the desired results, amplifying the need for a strategic partner who could offer both technical expertise and a keen understanding of HDI’s business needs.
