Challenge
Our client is leading Fiji-based provider of airways services across the globe. To cope up with current technological trends, the client decided to update his in-house application which was developed in the older version of the SharePoint with basic features. The legacy application resulted in the client facing multiple issues leading to high loading time, inactive collaboration with internal staff, and a lack of features. Hence, the client decided to develop an application using the latest version of the SharePoint to take the maximum advantage of latest features, assist organizations and staff members in the best possible way and collaborate efficiently.
Key challenges of the project were:
- Conventional and Old application architecture design that is not scalable, maintainable, secure, or high-performing.
- No search facility to fetch search related results automatically, accurately and rapidly
- Unable to modify data that should ideally reflect automatically on the datasets, this needed to be developed using Microsoft Power BI reports.
