At the outset of the project, our team held an in-depth meeting with the client to gain a comprehensive understanding of their business needs. As the client was not fully familiar with our process, we took the opportunity to guide them through our services and clarify the expected deliverables. Throughout the project, we made sure to keep the client engaged and regularly updated on our progress, ensuring their goals were met on time and within budget.
