Absence management system

The main traits that system needed to satisfy were: flawless data management, flexibility, supporting up to couple of thousands users and easy maintenance.

Looking for ways to upgrade its old absence management system because of the system’s inflexibility to change in line with new laws and regulations, EXECOM’s client wanted to develop a new system from scratch. EXECOM was hired and after a whole year of intensive meetings and development, the solution was ready for its first installation.
