About project: 

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organization helping people forced to flee from conflict zones. Even though NRC has their own internal software development unit, they eventually faced a critical need to expand engineering capacity. The immediate aim was to fully develop a Community Coordination Toolbox using NRC Azure DevOps tools. This project was to be built from scratch, meaning we provided NRC with full-cycle development services. Since Microsoft is one of our client’s sponsors and grants them software licenses, we chose Azure as our central technology. No previous UI had been developed aside from some initial wireframes, so we also offered our support in sketching up the final design. Essentially, we created a web-based resource available for the public. As a result, users received an easy-to-use interface with clearly sorted chapters of information, ready-to-view and download documents, and intelligent search. The site is available in 3 languages. Additionally, we’ve developed a straightforward admin portal for uploading and managing information.
