The Solution

Work Plan and Budget Management 365

“Commugen’s program allowed us maximal flexibility and customizability to our own needs, something which was not found in competing products.

In addition, the program’s interface is so simple that it was very easy to implement the system among non-tech-savvy workers”

The Result

Significant progression municipality performance due to the program. More projects are completed with greater efficiency.

“Switching to the program made our work significantly more efficient, almost completely eliminated errors based on mistaken information, and improved collaboration between managers.”

“The fact that our tech-support is from technical staff rather than service personnel speeds up solutions.”

“My favourite feature is the search function. In the past, we often had to spend two hours, and even a full business day, in order to find information that is found today in the program.. Nowadays, we find exactly what we want instantly.
