As your organization grows from a small team to a number of larger teams, handling multi projects and clients, there arises a need to consolidate enterprise resources and information, which is accessible to employees, and empower them to work intelligently and efficiently.
If your organization is facing the challenges mentioned below, it is high time for you to start planning with your solution provider to implement a suitable enterprise web portal.
Scattered Information - Team leaders / Managers are relying on different sources of information (like excel, emails, an isolated application) for collating data and preparing performance reports which they use for budgeting, forecasting and planning.Offline, decentralized reports and spreadsheets are prone to errors that can affect our business performance.
Delayed information- In this ultra-competitive world, timely decisions is the key to avoid missing opportunities. If decision makers / senior management must wait for analysts or knowledge workers to prepare reports, there is a high probability that you lose business to your competitors. An online, automated and centralized information which can be accessed anywhere, anytime, can empower the management to take intelligent, informed decisions.
Manual Project/Team/Knowledge management- When a new / enhancement / maintenance project starts
- If the task assignment is done manually through emails, tracking the current state of the task (open, analysis, committed, WIP, tested etc) is a cumbersome task and requires a lot of manual follow-up.
-There is always a probability that team members are referring to different versions of the same document, related to the task, affecting the efficiency and quality of output.
-Knowledge management is manual since the list of all previous tasks; bugs and their solutions are not maintained at one place, for future reference. If the concerned person leaves, the new person starts from scratch, unaware of the related bugs in the past and their solutions.
