Fingent replaced the client's legacy homegrown system with a new platform that included ASP pages and SQL databases and later migrated the intranet to a SharePoint server. Over multiple revisions, Fingent consistently hit milestones and improved the client's processes. The client reports smoother collaboration, effective project management across time zones, and trust that enabled a looser metric-driven workflow.
