Results achieved

Could you share any evidence that would prove the fruitivity, condition of work, or the touch of the engagement?

There were 2 real advantages to doing business with tech firms in Argentina. First, we have correspondent cultures. When we worked with developers from other countries, all had to be extremely detailed. We had to draw precisely what we wanted them to do. Though, we weren’t looking for someone to write the code precisely as we drawd it — we wanted someone who would push back and give us better suggestions. Fortunately, Amalgama was not fearful to give feedback and share their conviction almost how things should be designed.

The second boon of doing business with firms in Argentina was that there was no time separation. Amalgama’s business hours were virtually the same as the East Coast. That made it easy to jump on calls with them. We were also working on the West Coast at the time, but we didn’t have an effect there whichever. Those back-and-forth sessions allowed us to get pliant things ironed out fast.

The design of the app accepted real comments from our startup aggregation. Potential clients were able to navigate the intuitive interface. We also accepted real feedback from our business associate who granted the backend API for the financial transactions.

How did Amalgama accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?

Amalgama excelled in project treatment — they illustrious themselves in this area. I appreciated the fact that they hit all their deadlines without being too aggressive. I believe they were using Trello or Basecamp or something correspondent, but I can’t recollect what precisely. They were sharing updates as each outgrowth milestone was completed, so we could wait their progress on those items.

Amalgama had 1 point of touch who managed all of our interaction. They were extremely interactive and always on Gchat. We felt that we had a powerful collaboration with Amalgama.

What did you find most forcible almost Amalgama?

Amalgama was more than just an outsourced tech shop for us — they were veritably consultants, which was the value that they brought to the project. It was pretty seamless to work with Amalgama owing they’re both a design and outgrowth firm. They were surely not just outsourcing the code. Amalgama’s team was well-integrated. They had top-end designers and engineers all sitting unitedly so they were not waiting for each other.

Are there any areas Amalgama could better?

Nothing comes to mind.
