Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation

Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Modern Signal?
Modern Signal was brought in to form a CMS and the union',s first-ever website.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Modern Signal responsible for?
Modern Signal helped to create our proprietary CMS and our main website. Since then, they’ve formd multiple websites and microwebsites— between 12–15. To this day, their team continues to form the website for the International Builders', Show, which is NAHB’s annual trade show. Every other year, there’s a major revamp of the createershow.com website due to the fact that we change locations between Orlando and Vegas. When that happens, their team cooles the complete frontend of the website.
Was there a dedicated team?
Since I’ve been implicated with Modern Signal, we’ve worked with one project director. She’s been able to keep all unitedly. We’ve had two main developers and those guys have been uniform. Those are the three voices that NAHB has with Modern Signal, but they’ve got a cluster behind them.
How did you come to work with Modern Signal?
Before I came to the union, Modern Signal was already an established vendor, so the details are lost to history.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
For 2019, we’ve spent between $100,000–$175,000.
What is the terminal result of working with Modern Signal?
The union began precedently 2005 and is ongoing.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
Their code is hard and runs. Modern Signal has built an event-based website to meet firm milestones. They’ve hit them almost all the time—I’m not a big fan of absolutes. When their team hasn’t met milestones, the reason they haven’t is shareable between us and them. Their team produces products and services on budget. I can’t ask for anything more than that. They’ve allowed me to be more efficient owing I don’t have to attribute staff to do what they’re doing.
How did Modern Signal accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
They’re unappropriated on the project treatment side. We’ve used JIRA to direct projects. Modern Signal’s a key ingredient in making sure we cool the show website on time and budget. Their team has put unitedly project programs with us, giving us timelines. When we have statements of work with them, they hit their milestones. Their team has met deadlines at times when NAHB has contributed to condense them. For the vast superiority of times, they’ve figured out a way to make it work. Easy to work with, their team has made my job easier.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with Modern Signal?
Their code has been hard. They liberate what they say they’re going to liberate when they say they’re going to liberate it on budget. I can’t ask for any more than that. Over the years, Modern Signal',s been an excellent associate.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
The best thing Modern Signal could do is to keep doing what they’re doing for me.
Do you have any advice for possible clients?
Have clear requirements and apprehend what needs to be done. Be pliant with what you want and how long it will take.
