Challenge	The Ian Martin Group, a leading recruitment and project-staffing firm based in Toronto, Canada, embarked on a business transformation project in 2014. The company aimed to modernize its processes to align with the evolving business landscape of the 21st century. As part of this transformation, the company decided to implement best-of-breed solutions, Bullhorn for candidate management and Zendesk for customer support.

Its graphical mapping of data flows and visual canvas made it easy to understand, eliminating the need for intensive training. The platform was agile and allowed for speedy development. Moreover, it was not just for developers; business analysts could also use it. With Flowgear, business analysts could see processes working visually, not just in a flow chart.
