On the other hand, most of the HR software vendors in Nepal supply low grade software built without adequate knowledge of Human Resources Management domain. They build software without enough research and planning. Most of the companies close their operation within a few years failing to make a sustainable business (low price to beat the competition which ultimately kills themselves and they usually have a single point of failure in terms of manpower – the person who was building the system leaves the organization and rest of the team do not know what to do)
