The students paired with the company a tech company which has over 6,000 employees in Lincoln, NE, Denver, CO, and Madison, WI.

The students researched the problem the business was facing by conducting interviews with current employees. The root problem was found to be that they don’t have a universal data base with photos of employees that all associates can view. This is causing barriers to innovation by reducing employee communication and connectivity. The students used this information to code a data base using Python. This data base has features where employees can search for other employees using first name or last name and upload their own pictures. This data base is customized for these employees to connect. This solution will increase innovation through connectivity and efficient communication in this large company.
