2- Project phases:
This project took place in three main phases:

- The third phase took up the specifications to transform them into specific IT tools to support consultants in wage portage.
3- Results
This project was designed and developed as a virtual incubator for independent consultants in wage portage
This platform has made it possible to manage several hundred consultants , without noticeable infrastructure changes, which has enabled each consultant to have an online virtual office from where he can manage and administer his mission offers and pilot a project with other consultants themselves in wage portage .
Beyond aspects of simple management and internal accounting, this platform has also enabled consultants to create the embryo of a future IT consulting company . This is the case with Big Data Consulting.
