    Efficient Forms is a US based company who developed a unique piece of software that could automatically fill multiple pdfs based on data gathered through an online questionnaire tool. They had an idea for a very large scale and ambitious start-up business in the education sector in the US. The problem was that they needed a very large scale procedural project done quickly.

    We were approached by Efficient Forms because of our previous outsourcing experience and quickly got to grips with a plan and a proposal. The project went ahead and within a week myself and Andrew flying round the world to finalise procedures and implement the project.

    Working with Sugeet Wahal, Pavan Kakar and their colleagues at Suntec India we managed continuous 24 hour work which combined three shifts and around 80 staff. With tight deadlines we finished the project a week early and within budget. Efficient Forms were delighted.
