The project
Our goal was creating for our Customer, Polish oil company Lotos, a comprehensive non-financial reporting system compliant with the GRI standard. We strove to create an intuitive and secure input system to collect information required by Global Reporting Initiative. Our solution assisted in creating form templates, dictionaries, descriptions and contextual help for the forms; it also supported managing data input and verification.
