Development For Hospital Hygienics Company
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
Please present your business and what you do there.
The organisation is in the healthcare activity with a centre on hygienics. We adviser the hand washing of hospital staff to fix that their hospitals are compliant with all required cleanliness and hygienic standards and procedures. We have many mobile and distant devices and those adjoin with each other and then collate that information back into the cloud. Then, we analyze that information and prepare data, graphs and so forth on that hospital',s accomplishment. I am our organisation',s chief technology official.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with the ITRex Group?
We needed a couple of developers to create out different parts of our platform and our Android app. We needed developers who could work on a pliant schedule right away. We have many different components, so we needed someone to do a bit of Android work, some JavaScript work and some work on both the front-ends and back-ends of our platform. These tasks change a bit from time to time, so we hoped to get a pool of nation who could switch from one specialty to another. We',re too pliant to hire a dedicated individualal for each goal, so we reflection outsourcing would be the best way to go.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
Although they have offshore developers in Belarus and Ukraine, I principally worked with the team and team chief here in Santa Monica. They set up all the touchs for us, and we can extend them via Slack, form tickets and set them up with GitHub. They have made it easy to extend them. They feel weekly reports and billing – all those effects. We worked with four main developers and another one who did a bit of technical work and some treatment.
One of the big benefits of working with the ITRex Group is that they make sure the right work is being done at the right time by the right nation. They bridge the gap between the fact that we',re here and their developers are offshore. We quiet want to be able to get condition work and have some arrogance that things are going to work out.
I ponder that',s the biggest value, shrewd you can hire the nation we need. This is much better than finding individualal nation straightly on Elance [now Upwork] and not shrewd if the project is going to be outsourced anew, if they',re committed to it or what the condition of the work is that they will do.
How did you come to work with the ITRex Group?
I',ve worked with them previously. When I began as CTO, we needed some developers. We considered getting someone local, but then determined to try outsourcing since it',s obviously a less-expensive solution. We figured we',d give it a try and see how it goes. Right now, I ponder we have three or four nation working for us, and it only costs roughly what one and a half or two nation would cost here.
How much have you invested with the ITRex Group?
We',ve spent almost $10,000 a month for three or four months.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We have the power to hire a developer full time and, at the end of the month, they bill us. They could work overtime, of order, but we tell them to work 40 hours a week and stop behind that. They',re useful for more hours, but we figured nation are more fruitful when you work only 40.
We don',t have an end date. We',re just trying to create an complete fruit. If anything, I ponder we have wonderfuler ambitions to keep edifice. The more we create, the more we ponder of what we can create. I ponder an end date may be when we get big sufficient that it makes perception to get a couple of local nation. Maybe at that time, we would need to layer back how many nation we have distantly. I don',t veritably predict us having to layer that back down to zero, especially owing they have a couple of nation that are dedicated to us, and they keep on working on the same pieces over and over anew, so they know those pieces well.
Results achieved
Could you share any evidence that would prove the fruitivity, condition of work, or the touch of the engagement?
They',re very proactive almost closing tickets. Even if I need to have a converse on Skype or over the phone, they',re very good almost taking the task I draw verbally, creating a ticket from my description and tracking the progress. It is very easy to see what',s being done, and that',s excellently nice.
In one case, we had a developer who didn',t work out. ITRex fast took care of that and did a good job. They gave us some free time to make up for that issue, so all worked out for the best. That sounds like a denying, but I ponder the way the issue was feeld worked out well. That',s precisely the kind of issue that mitigates any effects working with someone distant.
That',s probably the biggest selling point – shrewd that when you hire them, you',re verity going to get something precious. You can use the deliverables and not be stuck with something that doesn',t give you anything.
How did the ITRex Group accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
In some cases, they',ll do the project treatment. They',ll be more hands-on, form tickets and handle details. In our case, we do the project treatment ourselves owing we know what we want. We',re implicated in creating our tickets and breaking all down. We don',t use them much in provisions of their project treatment. I ponder we only talk to the treatment side if we have an effect. We try to minimize that as much as practicable.
What did you find most forcible almost the ITRex Group?
I ponder it',s the accountpower. I',ve worked in other companies where we',ve had a consultant come in and do work for us, the work was generally excellently bad but there was no accountpower for the code condition. We never knew who was doing the work. We never had any touch with the individualals doing the work, and it was all run through a couple of layers. We',d wish we could just talk to the developers and verity adjoin with them, get them to apprehend what we',re asking for. We would just end up with something we didn',t want and have to rewrite 80 percent of the code anyway. Those were poor experiences.
I ponder the separation here is we can talk straightly to the developers, have daily Skype calls, have them on Slack, adjoin with them, and form tickets. It',s like working with an individualal we know. They just happen to be somewhere else. I ponder that',s why it works. We can keep talking to that individualal. That individualal can acquire almost our business and what we',re trying to create. I ponder that',s the only reason it does work. In general, this kind of thing is hard to pull off successfully.
Are there any areas the ITRex Group could better?
I ponder the structure in Belarus isn',t excellently as responsible or answering to effects as the cluster here is. My review is almost our cluster and how they are doing business here. I ponder they have a sister organisation in Belarus, and they are a pliant bit less helpful responding to things. If it came down to just them being over there and us not having any kind of local support, I don',t ponder we',d be able to make it work. It',s good sufficient owing they have the team chief here, and that',s what makes it work. When we did have that one effect with the developer, Belarus wasn',t especially helpful until he verity stepped in and fixed the issue for us.
