Capabilities
During the development of a new application, the team work closely with the customer throughout the entire process. This includes fully understanding the requirement and advising the customer if it is appropriate to use KBE and if so, defining the benefits the technology will deliver, through to full implementation at the customer site, training of staff and the provision of a telephone 'help-desk' support service.
