    • Bringing on new users and removing existing user when new employee/contractors join or leave an organization can be improved by linking directly to HR module.
    • The slightly complicated GUI makes drill down difficult for a new user.

    The final contenders were CA and Oracle - Oracle was tedious to implement and maintain while on the other hand CA was easy to implement and maintain and came at a much lower price.
