The need and recruitment of huge temporary staff for a limited time period of one month for manual data entry on MOFA website is a big challenge for HCOI.

Manual data entry being a labour-intensive process has disadvantage of speed and accuracy which leads to increased cost and business risk as data becomes increasingly incomplete, inaccurate and inconsistent across the various state committees.

With so much of textual information to enter, data entry operators inevitably make mistakes that have consequence on pilgrim’s visa being rejected due to incorrect data entry.

HCOI intended to use their Pilgrims information already available in their database during their Haj processing through automated application.
