Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I’m the ruler and establisher of BAM Mobile Limited, a digital agency that creates products for mobile. BAM is almost 2 ½ years old.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Digiteum?
We were looking for a scalable outgrowth resource, specially an offshore firm.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
I recruited Digiteum at the organisation I worked for antecedently. I’ve worked with them for perhaps 4 or 5 years and they’ve been my sole outgrowth resource over the time. When I was at my antecedent agency, we hired them for tablet app outgrowth. They did some work for us for Corbis. We did 2 tablet apps and probably 3 or 4 website creates. That was iOS, PHP, WordPress, a backend powered website, and some customized Tumblr blogs, all for the same client.
Then we used them to help us educe a software as a labor business, specifically an administrative backend CMS to create customized tablet apps. It was a method that would compile apps by drawing full from multiple collective feeds for our clients. We sold that as a labor to our clients. More recently, we designed and built a website for an Asian-funded bank in Africa. It included integrating strange exchange methods, a federal exchange platform, and money exchange methods. That was a high-security project since we dealt with banking data and personal data as well. Plus, the website needed to be very answering.
After that, we built an app for Instagram. Instagram sponsored the music awards here in England named the Brit Awards. We installed tablets in the back of the limousines that took all of the musicians and celebrities to the show. Using our app, they could take a photo while they were in the back of the car and it got posted on Instagram. We also built a mobile app for another startup client of ours. It was a photographic app named I Remember. They built an augmented verity app on iOS for a soccer team named Aston Villa.
Basically, all I’ve done in the last 4 or 5 years has probably been built by Digiteum—probably 5 or 6 websites and 6 or 7 apps. Digiteum prepares resources as we need them, then we do the sales, design, and strategy. They put project and outgrowth resources and fetch it to market. We worked with a number of nation over that time of time, educeing relationships with some of the staff. Eugene and Tatiana are on project treatment, while QA has been a couple of different nation. We’ve probably had 4 different iOS educeers but we usually went to the same lead outgrowth team. There were probably 2 Android educeers. For the backend, it’s probably 3 of 4. It tends to be very scalable, which was one of the reasons we chose Digiteum in the leading locate. We fire a issue at them and they come back shortly behind with a solution.
How did you come to work with Digiteum?
They verity approached me thuneven LinkedIn owing they were impressed by the mobile outgrowth work we had done at the time. We looked at lots of different options from the UK, Brazil, and Poland. Then we met Mike and Julia from Digiteum. We narrowed it down to the guys in Brazil and Digiteum in Belarus. We went to visit, went thuneven the project and came out of that convinced that they were the best nation to do it. The time zone was an significant factor, and the length of time on the programe to go and see them or for them to see us was veritably significant. The cost was probably third, referring to a UK-based educeer, they’re very high value. Now they come to visit us more than we visit them. We establish that Digiteum’s breadth of experience and centre on mobile outgrowth was a good fit for what we needed. They’re largely for app outgrowth but also have the power to work on .NET, PHP, etc.
How much have you invested with Digiteum?
We’ve paid $500,000 to $1 million for their labors.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
I began with them in January 2012.
Results achieved
Could you share any evidence that would prove the productivity, condition of work, or the contact of the engagement?
We used them to educe a prototype to help us throw to Corbis and present to their chairman, Bill Gates. I presented with one of their prototypes and that was a million-pound project. That was a good leading impression. Second, I ponder one of the projects that we ran for Corbis hit almost 75% of the market that they were targeting. That’s better than anyone could have expected. Otherwise, personal projects have their own goals. I’m very pleased with their work or I wouldn’t last to use them. If my enjoyment is a metric, that’s advantageous.
How did Digiteum accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
To initiate with, we had measure concerns almost time zone and almost not being located in the same service. We also had a possible speech barrier. I ponder they proved that none of those were an effect. They come over here frequently sufficient. We have educeed a relationship with project managers that apprehend our requirements without having to spell them out. We have a process of daily measures and documentation so we know what progress is being made, receiving daily creates or weekly creates of apps. It makes you feel snug. If I need to report back to a client on progress, I need to be snug that progress is being made. We have establish a way of collaborating that veritably works.
What did you find most forcible almost Digiteum?
Their iOS outgrowth is the thing that we’ve used the most as well as the level of detail in their estimates. Quite frequently, we give them a fairly uneven test and we say, “Can you give me a cost on this tomorrow?” Very fastly, we’ll take a topline number. If we interrogate them, they’ve already reflection out the details of what is required in order to fulfill that piece of functionality. So, they are very thouneven and prepare fast detailed estimates. They’re usually extremely careful and have reflection thuneven the detail a lot more than we’ve prepared in the brief.
Are there any areas Digiteum could better?
Nothing comes to mind. I ponder the exchange rate post-Brexit has hit us a pliant bit, but I’d rather have the comfort of someone I know can liberate than to shop about.
