Desired goal
What was your main extrinsic for working with SILK Software?
We wanted to restore our website with a new website. We verity had Magento Community and we wanted to move to Magento Enterprise. And our Magento Community experience wasn’t with a Magento associate. It did not go well. So we wanted to use a Magneto associate that was skilled. And our biggest thing was we wanted somebody who had experience integrating with the ERP method. We do all in our ERP method. We’re using Vision, Microsoft Dynamic NAV, I conjecture they call it now.
How did you originally hear almost SILK Software?
We contacted Magento and we also went on their website and we looked for their certified associates. We interviewed almost four of their associates. What we were looking for was somebody who had local nearness that could verity come to service and we could meet with them and tell them what we needed and then if we had issues, they could come. And we wanted them to be certified and have experience. And we wanted them to have experience with an ERP method, interfacing with an ERP method. And those were sort of our main – and we wanted them to have some nation in this country that we can deal with. We’ve dealt with guys in Russia. We’ve dealt with guys in India. And it was just… and they do have some nation there that they use. But you always can talk to their technical nation, their designers here and get things responded fast. So that was significant to us.
Provided solution
Can you tell me a more the aim of the project, and what parts they were implicated in?
We had six websites that we were having them revamp. They did the total revamp with us. They had previously done ERP method interfaces. So they kind of have a way of doing it where they have staging database. They would have a MySQL database. They would fetch all the information out of Magento and put it there. Then the ERP methods can go and pick it up there. And then when we need to send the information back, we send it back to that database and then it goes into Magento. They had a lot of that there. That way we are verity able to come up with it very fast. I was veritably surprised that in no time, it went. It saved us a lot of time.
How long ago was the project completed?
We artistic in August, last year.
Can you prepare a general cost estimate for the project?
We had different phases. It was below $100,000 for the initial, and then perhaps we spent over that now. We did a total revamp just recently, almost a month ago. We revamped and we did a mobile website. We’ve been working with them kind of regularly verity for the total last year has been big.
Results achieved
How satisfied are you with the work they’ve done?
I’m very satisfied. I veritably like them. Their technical individual that we deal with the most is James. You can call him on his cellphone and he responds fast. They get their answers done. They work with the guys in China to get the work done. And I also like their designers. We dealt with four of their designers owing we had six websites coming up at the same time. So we had different designers for different websites. It was big.
How do you feel almost Magento as a platform?
I like Magento. I like Magento Enterprise much better. We were on a veritably soon rendering of Community and I would have said that I hate Magento at that point. But I do, I like it. It seems like it’s growing and it’s going to have a lot of plugins that keep more and more coming out. I ponder it was a good choice.
What do you say are the main two things that have betterd from Community to Enterprise?
Well, I’d say accomplishment for sure. The method would just crash. It would just crash constantly. Maybe if we had a smaller website, it would work. But it veritably, honestly, did not work for us. The second, let me ponder, I’m trying to recollect now the differences between Community and Enterprise .
Is there anything that you find to be sole or particular almost SILK compared to other developers that you may have worked with?
They have a veritably big issues software that you can use. That’s a nice way to adjoin. They had nice internet tools, like for bug tracking and also for the project itself, when we doing the design phase and being able to adjoin back and forth with the total team. I reflection that was good.
Is there anything that you would do differently a second time almost or ponder that Silk could better upon?
I know we had a pliant bit of trouble with our with our SEO. Then they advised us, if we wanted to veritably facilitate the website. We didn’t want all this verbiage and all this stuff. The designers were good on that. But then when we implemented it, the SEO went down. So then they had some SEO guys come in and say, well, you should add this, this and this. So it might have been better. I ponder in review, it would have been better if they had had. And I talked to Don almost that. It would be better to have somebody review that also, and not just the designers.
