While many of the contemporary software work online or on a cloud (using services like MS Sharepoint, virtualization etc), they are inherently desktop based software and are not designed to be cloud centric. Data migration processes etc are also very cumbersome as source code is simply not available for them (and no hope as well). Our tools (Unleash) have been designed completely from a cloud centric point of view and offer superior performance and flexibility for customization (What would take several months to customize utilizing various tools would be possible in weeks with our systems due to the inherent simplicity and complete focus on cloud based delivery).15Methodologies: Waterfall and AgileWaterfall is a Project Management methodology which is more focused on building and following processFocus is on effective following of the defined processesAgile is a Project Management methodology which is highly flexible, fast and caters to changes in competitive environment.
