Problem Brief

In a large enterprise, there are many processes in place to ensure the smooth functioning of the organization. However, it becomes difficult to track how everybody in the organization is adopting and executing these processes when there are thousands of initiatives. In order to better govern groups of similar initiatives, we helped TechM design a suite of applications. These applications also had to be part of their existing delivery platform- NADTM which meant that there were plenty of constraints while designing workflows.
