Business Challenges
Our Approach
Alstom was an existing client of HM. First engagement was very minor work. Client was facing a problem with their existing tool called Attendance Management System. HM supported them to fix the issue with the tool. And we got approved from Alstom as a registered vendor. And then we got a project to give them a solution.
