Results
A quoting / pricing management system was successfully developed, tested and implemented. A corporate intranet was also developed, tested and implemented. These systems were integrated with other 3rd party software. There databases from the legacy systems were successfully migrated from MySQL to Microsoft SQL Server.
Today our client's electronic document management and ordering systems are fully integrated with 22 of their clients and this number increases each month. This integration simplified customer's workflow and decreased employee's workload. Orders processing time was significantly reduced and is now trackable due to our development. Our customer has gained a considerable competitive advantage on the technology front.
Customers of insurance services (realtor companies) use various software to provide their document management processes. Concurrent using of different electronic documents management and ordering systems makes a large amount of difficulties with tracking and producing of clients orders. The absence of integrated connections between these systems caused a great inconvenience and stress for users and became a reason of orders missing and client's frustration. Also it was hard to keep insurance cost rates in relevant condition. Lack of flexibility of some systems that were used in company did not allowed to adopt them to new business requirements and held company's growth. That is why more of them should be often modified for an expensive cost.
