The portal enables the companies to quickly augment teams with new skills to pivot to new areas and deploy free resources to avoid underutilisation. The new support system will enhance managing operations in the new normal, pivoting to new opportunity areas for sustainability and handling negative cash flow situations in companies in the present scenario.
