“The
tools may be cheap or may even be available
for Free, but if you cant use them to their
full potential you will never be productive
enough and you are still looking at huge
losses in time cost”
On Average an employee working
with a computer spends at least 60% of his
or her time working with Desktop application
suites such as MS office, Open Office among
others. The reality of daily tasks is that
they are often repetitive and therefore
boring. This means that however simple the
task may be it is prone to errors. If we
were able to some how find a way to save
even part of this time, it would make the
employee twice as productive and not forgetting
thousands in savings for the organization
as a whole due to an efficient and productive
task force.
It is also a known fact that
in spite of all the training users could
go through, it is still found that a majority
of them use only 10% of the functionality
that these tools and applications provide.
It is usually a challenge
for regular users with non programming background
to take advantage of the large number of
options available to automate some or all
the repetitive tasks while working with
these desktop tools.
Avena Desktop productivity
centre works to over come these challenges
for you. Our centre comprises of an expert
team experienced in the effective use of
Microsoft Office, Open office and now can
even unleash the vast potential of WIDGETS
to improve your productivity while working
with these tools.
Upon your request a member
of our team will contact you. We will analyze
your requirements and investigate if you
can work more efficiently through the use
of customized automation solutions. It could
be a script written in VBA that you need
to automate your tasks in MS office (MS
Word, MS excel, MS PowerPoint, Ms Access,
MS outlook), a script written in Java, JavaScript
or Basic to automate your tasks in Open
Office tools that may be required or we
could even look at how to add the functionality
you need by building powerful Widgets to
ensure you save time in your daily work
with the desktop tool of your choice.
Our goal is to identify and
remove any repetitive manual tasks while
using your Desktop productivity tools, from
your daily workload, thus enabling you to
concentrate more on your core functions,
clients and customers.

How do we communicate?
We understand that clear communication
is the key and can play a decisive role
in the success of a project. More importantly
when the project is outsourced or developed
by an outsourcing company. Very often, misunderstandings
due to poor communication between the customer
and the provider have caused the failure
of many an outsourced project.
At Avena desktop productivity
centre and at Avena GDL in general, we are
aware of gaps in communication due to cultural
differences. This is where we use our vast
experience with international customers
to avoid errors in communication.
We use various tools to facilitate
clear, one-on-one interaction with our customers.
Some of the tools and utilities we use to
ensure effective communication and information
flow through the project lifecycle include:
DIBDIF™
CPSM- An online Customer,
Project and Service Management tool which
allows you to remain up-to-date on the progress
of your project. This increases the amount
of control you can exercise on the progress
of your custom software development project.
You can approve documents and change requests
and quotations online, check the status
of the project and monitor the time utilization
and a lot more
Macromedia Breeze

of all meetings in a clear, structured manner
and share them with all stakeholders involved

Non Disclosure
Agreement - To ensure confidentiality,
we sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
with all our employees and also with your
company before any project would begin.
Additionally, project details are available
only to the team members who are involved
in the specific project.
Service Level
Agreement and Contract - Before
the commencement of the project, we sign
a Service level agreement and Contract that
details the responsibilities of each party,
the deliverables, pricing and delivery schedule
of the projects.
Besides the above we would
also be happy to sign any of your internal
non disclosure, security documents and agreements
if you have these standard policies already
in place in your company.
