10,000 locations in a deployment, Link™ provides
the framework to manage only the issues that are

as an exception and require attention. This greatly
increases the capacity of project managers by focusing
on components that
require action. |

Link™ enforces adherence to the project processes defined by the customer.
The work flow, reporting and alerts in Link™ are
based on the defined project management processes.
Project managers and implementers
are motivated to follow the project process. |

process, corrects
deficiencies quickly and measures the results of
corrective action in real-time. |
