Challenges
- Communicating the required Event’s program, schedule, speaker details to the visitors.
- Tracking who has visited which event, seminar.
- Measuring the footfall at events.
- Providing a unified platform for all required events daily schedule, seminar, and speaker details.
- Broadcast notifications to the registered visitor for upcoming seminars to join.
- Getting the list of visitors who are going to participants in this event so they can plan better visitor engagement as well.
- Some of the solutions to solve the issues of interoperability, EHR access, and data sharing along with facilitating efficiency in exchanging information are.
- The local calendar, local push, local reminders, etc, were not directly available to manage outright which are now available in SDKs.
Strategic Approach
The client’s requirements were challenging as back then the local calendars, local push, local reminders, etc, were not documented and easily available for programming.
During the Ui/UX stage, we have discussed the business requirements with all respective 3rd party vendors and identified the best vendors for the business needs of the client to finalize their agreements with them.
- Based on requirement gathering, we have created UX using balsamic.
- We have shared UI (PNGs) through invisio.
- All business logic were documented and approved with the client.
The project was completed in different phases:
Before the actual project started the documentation we collected to ensure we are building the right application were:
- RFP
- SOW
- Design documents
- Sample Data/Physical Printed Forms of process
- Hardware connection documents
- Empower the client’s event attendees, speakers to maintain their schedules.
- Maintain phone calendars based on attending events.
- Reminders on mobile without a remote push.
- Conference / event-related social network.
- Building personal agenda, manage phone calendars, reminders.
- Building a personal agenda.
