Clients approach Tigma with a variety of problems, all of which draw on the technical expertise of the company. An example is the healthcare client who needed an admin module developed to not only manage users but manage their role-based security. Tigma solved this problem using TIBCOs WebFOCUS, even though the problem was outside the scope of BI. The solution was seamless to the client as no new technology stack was added. For another client in the Professional Services industry, Tigma embedded a .NET application in the BI platform with a view to make them interoperable and to bring in the features provided by the .NET application in one single see-through window.


Clients also approach Tigma on their initiative to consolidate and rationalize the services of multiple vendors into a strategic few. This effort could also include the launching of new projects to niche vendors, moving work from onsite to offshore, and price negotiations.
