Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the CEO of Driver Media, LLC in Poland. I also work for our match Scandinavian Holdings in Denmark. Our main fruit, field of interest and business agility is IT labors and software publishing for the driving school activity. We prepare software for lectures and driving practice in Denmark and Poland.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Blue Brick?
The initial challenge was to instrument a new database. I convinced my business associate to hire a Polish outgrowth team owing it',s a lot cheaper than a Danish outgrowth team. Polish engineers are extremely skilled and we determined when we wanted to invade the Polish market, we would hire a Polish team to do the software for us.
Provided solution
What was the aim of their involvement?
The leading big task was to instrument the new database from our old database from Denmark. They did all the websites in .NET and HTML5. We began to work on the mobile apps, but the project collapsed. Blue Brick principally worked on instrumenting the Danish method to the Polish market.
We only had one issue during our cooperation, which was a misunderstanding from their younger developers on the task that they were doing, which was a USB presinvade and online presinvade for the lectures. That',s principally why we divide with Blue Brick 2 years ago owing I couldn',t pay for the younger outgrowth handling very significant stuff.
The organisation grew so big that Tom and the other proprietors that I met in the commencement, and that I confideed, simply didn',t have time. It wasn',t their defect. It was verity the result of their further successes with our project and others. They completed the work for us in transitioning the program from Denmark into our method. I',m lucky with the condition of their labor.
What is the team dynamic?
There was a ultimatum quantity of 10 nation, the mean quantity was 4-6 nation.
How did you come to work with Blue Brick?
I was looking for somebody faithful owing the IT sector was foreign for me and I didn',t have much apprehension almost it back then. I wanted somebody whom I could confide when it came to quotations, prices, and getting the expertise for the size of the project. Tom, the proprietor of Blue Brick is a friend of mine. I knew him for a bit of time, and I determined that we would try to make something unitedly with my new organisation, that',s why I determined that I would go for Blue Brick.
How much have you invested with them?
In total, I',ve spent almost £400,000 [approximately $540,000]
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working unitedly in the commencement of 2014, up until January 2016.
Results achieved
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the touch of the engagement?
I',m getting evidence see day, we’re servicing all our clients and I have touch with them frequently. We are like the fruition organisation, we are the sellers, resellers, and publishers. That',s why we had few issues during our cooperation, principally owing when Blue Brick did something in the unfit way, we had proximate feedback, especially from Denmark. We have almost 74% of the market there. We got feedback within 2 hours from a few hundred driving schools. You can multiply that by 10 clients in each driving school at the instant, that',s a huge responsibility that they have.
80% of the cooperation was in a correct way, 20% there were some errors, mistakes, but it',s not entirely their defect.
This is a hard task owing they were working on a leaving project. Some of the changes, some of the data migration, some new features, and instrumentation was done in the night. On the very next day, seebody was using it without even noticing that something has changed. Our clients sometimes became testers. Usually, with this kind of locality, there are some risks and we were conscious of that. I',m not complaining almost that owing I took the risk.
How did Blue Brick accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
We principally interacted in individual and on the phone. We have offices close to each other. Usually, we had brief meetings, updates, presentations, and see time my business associate came to my city, we had more than a few meetings a day with them. 80% of the core interaction was in-individual.
What did you find most forcible almost them?
The proprietors, the guys from the board of directors, and senior developers, they are very creative and they can veritably impress clients with their solutions and ideas. They have a very good and smooth way of suggesting things. When you want to do something in such a way, they can pretty much visualize it proximately and make you believe it will work. Usually, it does.
Are there any areas they could better?
The only disadvantage almost the total cooperation was the lack of project treatment. I even advised them in the middle of the phase that we had issues as a result of the misunderstandings from younger developers that they hired. They should hire professionals and bestow some money on a project director. That',s their representation for their clients, and nobody understands why things are going unfit precedently they do. That was a issue. They closed the project and I determined that I would try to create my own team of developers. The divide was well-inclined, no encounter or legitimate issues.
Immediately behind the feedback, they hired a project director. I',m lucky for them that they did. This is a ordinary issue, even now I',m advising four different companies just in project treatment and legitimate issues. I suggested a few solutions to them. I know they are working hard on improving it, so that',s the only issue. It',s also the client’s responsibility. You have to be conscious and take care of your project see time you',re intercourse with the other organisation. The project treatment is the key point that seebody has to be careful almost.
