Business Challenges

Developing ITERP required addressing key operational inefficiencies and challenges faced by IT firms. Here’s how these challenges were identified:

Data Security Concerns: Ensuring the protection of sensitive business and employee data while restricting unauthorized access was a critical challenge.
Integration of Multiple Functions: The need for a unified platform to integrate project management, task tracking, and employee data was essential for smooth workflows and operational efficiency.
