COE App

Overview

WNS-Vuram’s CoE(Center of Excellence) Application helps enterprises to easily manage multiple projects and applications simultaneously for speed-to-market and reduced delivery cost. WNS-Vuram’s CoE App enables seamless tracking of progress, releases, plug-in versions, strategic items, and more to drive efficient operations. Reduce resource wastage, budget overruns, and project delays with a combined power of low-code and CoE component library, providing a 360-degree view of the status of every project.

Here are a few challenges/problems the CoE app solves:

1. One of the most common challenges faced by enterprises is managing multiple projects and applications simultaneously through a Center of Excellence (CoE). According to an online study, 12% of resources are wasted by organizations due to ineffective project management, and 47% of agile projects are late, have budget overruns, or result in unhappy customers.
2. Organizations may use several tools available in the market to track project-related details, resources, releases, and documentation, among others. However, they have to juggle between these tools, which causes inefficiency, operational bottlenecks, errors, budget overruns, project delays, and inaccuracy, affecting team performance and morale.
3. Instead of juggling between different platforms, get started with a versatile, all-around CoE solution that perfectly meets the needs of your business.
4. CoE App helps enterprises unlock the power of reusable functional components and drive operational excellence by providing a 360-degree view of every project and strategic item in one place.
5. Stay on top of your Appian projects by tracking the progress, releases, plug-in versions, strategic items, and much more. Combine the power of low-code with our CoE component library to unlock even more gains in speed-to-market and cost reduction of delivery.
