Custom Offshore Development For Informational Technology Firm
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
Could you briefly draw your structure?
We propose a collective network. We have a lot of different tools that we member out from that collective pooling method, and some of those are what FulleStop has helped educe for us.
What is your position?
I’m the chief executive official.
Desired goal
Could you draw the business challenge that you were attempting to address when you leading approached FulleStop?
We wanted to drive commerce to our main estate website so we could get some testing feedback, basically like a beta propel. We had an occurrence that was taking locate in April of this year [2014] that we felt we could capitalize from if we built the right tool. We contracted with FulleStop to have them create a tool in less than a months’ time, to see if we could drive some commerce.
Provided solution
Could you draw the aim of their involvement in wonderfuler detail?
They initially were educeing our tool to drive commerce to our main website. Basically, the tool was a live boxing scorecard tool, that allowed nation to score battles live as the action happened, and comment, and converse with other nation that are scoring the battle in real time. They educeed that for us in almost three to four weeks. At that point, they also worked on our main website. They didn’t feel all of the design for the main website, but they did for the scoring card tool. They also feeld all of the server administration work, database setup, and so on.
What was your process for selecting FulleStop with which to work?
We went through Elance. I’ve worked with offshore educeer teams for the last six to seven years, so I’m household with the process. I went through Elance and vetted a lot of different teams, looked at profiles and portfolios, spoke to some teams, and behind a few interviews I selected FulleStop.
Could you prepare a general cost estimate for this particular engagement?
Less than $3,000 for initial educement of the scorecard tool. Then there was the server testing, load balancing, so that probably took the cost to between $3,000 and $5,000.
What was the period of this project?
We began working with them in October of 2013 on our main website. That work is quiet ongoing. The scorecard tool began in late February or soon March of 2014, and was live by April 12, 2014.
We verity made the determination to work with another team that we felt might have more experience, but we’ve now determined that we are eager to get back to FulleStop. We substantiate that their work is unparalleled.
Results achieved
In provisions of results, could you share any statistics, metrics, or user feedback that would prove the condition of their accomplishment?
No real hard metric data. Based on our marketing efforts, within 24 hours we had more than 21,000 users visit our scorecard tool. A lot of them have said that they absolutely love the tool, that it was astounding, so it was a lucky occurrence. They performed well over expectations. We came to them with a veritably close timeline to get the scorecard tool educeed and deployed. They claimed it could be done, even though we were somewhat skeptical. They educeed the solution in three to five weeks, which is basically unheard of, for anyone to educe such a demanding tool in such a brief time span. We were very impressed by that.
When working with FulleStop, is there anything that you’d attend particular almost their approach or educement process that distinguishes them from other vendors?
I like that they prepare input and insight. Often, when working with offshore teams, they take your teaching and that’s it. I’m always looking for a team that can prepare input, rely on their expertise to give us ideas and alteration, and they do that, so I’m pleased with that front.
I also like that they feel pressing projects astoundingly. They work on weekends when you need them to, which I esteem, and they get stuff done. I recently had to call them in to get something accomplished at the last diminutive, and they did it for us three or four days ago. So, I veritably esteem the fact that they’re there at the drop of a dime. They’re extremely useful. They make themselves useful for emergencies, which I esteem. Having approach to that support is a huge gain for us.
In review, are there areas in which you ponder they could better as a labor preparer?
Being in the United States, it would be nice to work on my time as opposed to working through the night. That’s also a part of the deal. I trade cost for that inconvenience to some degree.
