Solutions Applied
Dixite performed a number of interviews and analysed the BENOR/ATG documentation repository in order to identify the user and technical requirements and describe them in a URD. After the requirements were set, we propose to develop a web portal solution and realise a proof-of-concept in order to ensure that an Oracle*Intermedia based solution would match the indexation/retrieval requirements.
After the proof-of-concept was validated by CoBoNet team, the full-scale solution was developed, tested and deployed on CoBoNet technical infrastructure.
