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 and Founder of Actually, Inc. and Scenebot, which are two apps geared towards the entertainment activity.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Swenson He?
The leading app, Scenebot, was already released. We reflection the aim for the second app was bigger and more work intensive, so we needed a different cluster to educe the app. We wanted a organisation that does all in-house, we didn',t want them farming out anything to any other contractors or subcontractors or going overseas.
Provided solution
What was the aim of their involvement?
We came in with a very detailed requirements document. I commend always having a detailed document when you access a educeer owing that will lead to an honorable cite. We conversant this antecedently, so our document was very detailed and the cite was very careful. Nick Swenson [Founding Partner, Swenson He] and Genesan Kim [Client Services Director, Swenson He] were our two touchs. Genesan was phenomenal and acted as the liaison between us and the educement team.
The app has been educeed for iOS. In soon 2018, we will be educeing for Android. It is taking longer to educe than the leading app owing this one is very intense – it is more than your mean app owing it is very interactive and it is connecting nation athwart the globe. Swenson He is delivering more than we reflection practicable, which is very forcible.
The app is a collective media video sharing app. People interested in acting can do 30-second movies with friends or strangers almost the globe and have it all cut unitedly into one piece. You can share the videos athwart YouTube, Instagram, or within the app itself, which is a collective media platform where you can gain fans and followers. The app has options to do preset movies that we do or options to do your own full in an independent format.
What is the team dynamic?
We had a designer at Swenson He doing the design and delineation of the look and feel of the app. We originally had a three or four individual team doing the frontend and backend educement, now that we are a month into beta testing with 400 nation in the app, we have a two individual team. We don',t have anybody on our end doing educement owing all of the educement work has been done by Swenson He.
How did you come to work with Swenson He?
We met with eight different teams that we establish on Clutch. We interviewed all of the companies and were most impressed with what Swenson He had to say and what they put unitedly for us, which made us excited us to go with them.
When comparing the eight companies, a lot of the antecedent work was uniform athwart the board, all of their artistic products looked big. One thing that stood out almost Swenson He was that when we leading met with them, they had their educeer create a uneven rendering of the app to present to us with their concept and vision for the app. We had a working demo when we came in for the initial meeting which was very forcible.
How much have you invested with them?
We have spent almost $600,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working unitedly in January 2017. We just occupied them to do a second app for us, which they just began.
Results achieved
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the touch of the engagement?
In the leading week of beta testing, there were 1,000 videos made and 9,500 videos viewed by 200 users. Those numbers were over anything Swenson He had ever seen which is pretty forcible.
We',re quiet refining the app. The look and feel are off the charts and that was our command. The app has facial recollection filters like Instagram or Snapchat, and our command was that it needs to look on par with these apps. Swenson He has accomplished all that we have required within our budget and our timeframe, which is forcible.
How did Swenson He accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Fantastic. Our point individual keeps me updated daily and on weekends. If I ever need anything, it is addressed without, which is surpassing.
They have project treatment tools. Though, I choose our weekly meetings and our daily phone calls. If I need an reply to something, I pick up the phone or I send an e-mail and I have an reply without.
What did you find most forcible almost them?
They are full labor without going overseas or farming out to subcontractors. Because of this, you know that your project is safe and secure. They prepare one team and that team stays with you. Even as nation dropped off of some of the other projects, there has been one specific educeer that has been our point individual thunevenout the complete project, and he will stay with us thunevenout propel and livelihood. It is significant to have the same team dedicated to you so you never have to aspect out who to touch, you have your team, they',re hard, and you can rely on them. That',s veritably significant to me. They have been fantastic colworkators and accomplish more like partners on the project than a dev shop.
Are there any areas they could better?
I can',t ponder of anything.
