| With the exponential growth of business processes, the complexities involved in developing the applications, to automate those too have increased phenomenally. And in a dynamic work environment with ever changing business needs, organizations, big and small are looking for ways to build their business tools in a cost-effective manner through the outsourced development model. Outsourcing helps in liberating Capital, People and technology for an organization. But the flip side is that the organization looses control on the development and ultimately on the outcome of the project.
The need of the hour is for a tool that could marry the positives of outsourcing with the control of in house development - something that Vernalis Systems delivers through Collabria.
Collabria, as the name suggests is a collaboration platform on the web that connects all the stakeholders of a project, seamlessly. Collabria is an over-arching technology framework, which ensures that the business applications could be articulated, designed, viewed and tested, securely by the entire project team comprising of the Project managers, Developers and Clients.
