Vizibal Online Advertising Marketplace Website
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
Please draw your organisation.
Our website is an advertising marketlocate. Our first centre is to prepare a locate for what I call “second-tier advertising”, this could be anything from space on the scoreboard at a pliant bond baseball field to advance ad space that TV and radio stations can',t sell. Our website aggregates these opportunities athwart a geographic area or a demographic profile.
What are your role and responsibilities?
I’m one of the co-establishers.
Desired goal
What was your goal for working with Goiot?
We had a number of initial issues with our organisation. Although my associate and I are both enterprise architecture consultants and both have MBAs, we’re not Web developers. So, we began working with a couple of developers who had full-time jobs, but who reflection they could help us in their spare time. Unfortunately, their day jobs took over, causing us one delay behind another. We then bought a software package, which we hoped to modify to execute what we needed, but we had issues with that as well. It just didn’t fit with what we wanted to do.
Provided solution
What was your process for selecting Goiot with which to work?
We use a organisation named Balanced Payments, to feel all of the PCI [payment card activity actions] for us. While looking at other websites that use Balanced Payments, I came athwart one that had a very correspondent workflow to ours that was designed by Goiot. I veritably liked the way it functioned and how it looked, so I reached out to the Goiot team in February of last year. I told them what we needed, and we',ve been working with them ever since.
Please draw the aim of their work.
Our total application, top to breast, was manner built by Goiot.
Results achieved
What were the results of the project?
We',re veritably lucky with the work they',ve done for us, but we',re quiet a young organisation. We had a soft propel of the website at the end of July, although we quiet have some additions and tweaks that we want done. We’re working with Goiot to slowly add more functionality. For sample, right now we’re working on pulling demographic information for each of the advertising listings and working out how to attach them to a couple APIs [application programming interfaces] that prepare that information. So, we will last to collaborate with Goiot for support and livelihood.
Do you have any statistics or metrics to track advancement from the project?
Not at the instant. We recently hired a open relations firm out of Los Angles to help with our full-blown propel that should come in late spring 2015, behind which, we should be able to initiate collecting meaningful metrics.
Is there anything sole almost them that veritably makes them rest out, compared to other companies?
When compared with American developers, you cannot beat the condition of work Goiot prepares for the cost they direct.
Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you ponder they could better upon or something that you might do differently?
There are always going to be some cultural differences between here and Eastern Europe, but we worked through those issues with no difficulty. Actually, sometimes when we differed, their input ended up being spot on.
If I could have establish local developers, I would have used them. Though, given the aggressiveness of what we wanted, I’m not sure that we could have gotten it done locally, even if we paid 10 times as much.
