Solutions and Approach
The client sought to improve the employee experience by consolidating essential information exchange and fostering a more engaged workforce. To help the client achieve their goal, the INTECH team designed and developed a user-centric portal. The centralized communication hub helped with the following:
One-Stop Portal: A central portal for employees to consolidate their tasks, news benefits, and other crucial information into a single and accessible platform. This alleviated the employees from using disparate systems to save time and boost overall efficiency.
Seamless Employee Experience: Built on AST.NET Core MVC working on a microservices architecture, the engagement portal has intuitive navigation.
Real-Time Integration: Integration with tools like Oracle, Yardi, and Workflow Task Management systems, the portal helps unlock real-time updates and tasks. The integrated view facilitates a holistic understanding of their tasks, increasing control over their activities and empowering them to take accountability for their actions.
To build a robust employee engagement portal, the INTECH team utilized several top-notch technologies after assuring their compatibility with each other and the ease of scalability.
ASP.NET Core MVC: It’s an industry standard framework used to build a solid foundation for the solution. This empowers us to create a scalable and maintainable solution.
Redis Server: The im-memory data storage is used as a caching layer, which has significantly improved portal performance.
SQL Server: It guarantees a secure storage of all the data exchanged through the portal while facilitating an efficient data retrieval system.
IIS: Internet Information Services plays a critical role in hosting and managing the central portal, ensuring smooth operations and a reliable service.
JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS: This is a popular UI toolkit we have used to build user-friendly and appealing interfaces.
