IoT Development and Engineering for Social Innovation Firm
Please find below a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast collection on the buyer’s organisation
I',m the CTO of a firm that deals with collective neighborhood for mobile devices and being able to have individualal nation interact in a number of different ways, whether its sharing full, cluster experiences or discovering nation with correspondent interests.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Droid Technologies?
We wanted to associate with a firm that had deep IoT outgrowth and data interactions experience. As a plus, we ended up leveraging them for data industrial and electrical engineering genius.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Droid Technologies responsible for?
We',ve done a number of engagements with them over the order of 18 months. Their aim was being the first developer for our data interactions and devices in C programming. They also used them for low-level driver outgrowth, peripherals, and outgrowth in the near field magnetic collection and Bluetooth spaces.
Because we have some advanced needs, we use state-of-the-art chips, for which we create our own prototypes that regood that code. That',s where our industrial and electrical engineering needs come in, as we need to be able to create these IoT devices and prove the use cases. They',ve already completed two generations of devices for us, as well as the industrial closures for a number of different prototypes that we use in testing.
Was there a dedicated team?
For software staffing, it varies depending on the lifecycle of the fruit. It',s anywhere from two on the low end, to six developers on the high end. Electrical and Industrial Engineering each typically take one individual. We',ve also had one designer on staff too.
How did you come to work with Droid Technologies?
We wanted a organisation with expertise in the technologies we would be working with, but also one that had a proven track archives. While there were separate firms to select from online, we loved Droid',s Clutch reviews. The breadth and aim of their projects were vast, showing how agile they could be and how pliant they were in being able to pioneer new capabilities. I chose them off a shortlist of other companies and liked their answers to how they would access our initial set of work. We',ve grown that relationship expressively since then.
What are you access expents (if diclosed)?
We',ve invested over $100,000 on their services.
What is the terminal result of working with Droid Technologies?
We began working with them in March 2018, and our engagement is ongoing.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
They have top marks from us. Their power to deal with ambiguity, code construction, and order have been big. They',re proactive in suggesting changes, or even pushing back if they see there could be limitations, which we esteem. It always comes from a point of experience, rather than contemplation. I',d rather have a outgrowth team that',s able to chart a order and find their way through issues, rather than do only what you ask. They use their collective experience to apprehend our broader strategy.
How did Droid Technologies accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
They',ve accomplished well. We',ve had a lot of firm timelines, but they',ve been proactive, if they see they',re falling behind or if there',s additional work, they',ll backfill with a younger developer that may work on things like show drivers while the lead developer works on refining the UX. There was always an awareness of the broader timeline, budget, and they worked their systems in correspondent so that we wouldn',t fall too far behind the curve.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with Droid Technologies?
They have a cross-section of the orders below their roof, electrical, habitual, and firmware. They apprehend the developed hardware instead of just the speech. That piece is especially expressive for us when we',re intercourse with signaling and interactions, and have them exhibit from soup to nuts a prototype, the electrical schematics, the meeting, the fence, and the code that runs on all of that.
They also all have a depth of experience working for corporate brands and clients producing an end fruit. Additionally, we saw them as having high uprightness, honorable, good folks. We viwebsited them in Kiev, and they',re good nation who can adjoin in English well. We conversant they invest in English classes for their employees to fix that they can adjoin with clients, which was a grateful startle.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
Although it hasn',t ever impacted our business, perhaps the next step for their business is to invest in a full-time UX individual, rather than having to outsource.
Do you have any advice for possible clients?
My advice is to share your strategy owing they have the point to seize it and can conduce as a associate and as a team. Don',t access them as contract C programmers, they',re more gainous than that. You',d be doing yourself a disservice if you don',t take gain of their capabilities.
