Some of the common problems that were being faced by our client were:

• The weekly task of report generation for project was consuming a vast amount of time.
• The process of fetching information from multiple sources and putting them across reports was prone of human error.
• Lack of a standard template across the organization often led to confusion
• There was no information exchange among departments
• Increased time to market

They were looking for a slide generation application that could fetch information from any data source (excel, file system or database) and represent them in slides. There should be a standard template which could be used across the organization. In addition, there should be an option where critical information is highlighted by default.
