New development projects hinged on effective communication with their developers. They had to make sure the developers understood what they needed, and where the data lived in the database. Miscommunication resulted in development delays.<\/p>\n<p>The result: It would often take weeks to develop new web applications.<\/p>\n<p>What did they do? They found a way to bring their development in-house. ComPair Data gave their current staff the tools they needed to create web applications themselves.
