Business challenge
This was a not for profit organization who had a large number of business clients who would obtain services such as immigration matters, visa cases etc. They were maintaining paper based files for each and every client and it was difficult to update or locate them. Each file was getting bigger and the numbers of files were also increasing. The challenge was to find an efficient technical solution to manage client cases.
