- Full documentation is released after trial operation, when all corrections and additions are made to the system.
- The total cost of the system depends only on the Customer’s appetite for a set of system modules to be developed.
- Active participation of your employees (both performers and managers) in meetings with our staff will be required.
- Description of functionality of the future information system is made by our staff on the basis of the information obtained during the interviewing of your employees and managers, as well as on the basis of the information obtained by our staff from the specialized documents of your enterprise.
