Client

L Squared Digital Signage

Toronto, Canada

Project Summary

47Billion augmented the internal development team at L Squared Digital Signage to deliver multiple cloud-based web and mobile software projects. The vendor developed end-to-end products — including an interactive tradeshow map and a mobile app — using PHP, HTML5, Flash, and JavaScript, and handled testing, launch, and server management. Many of the delivered products were resold profitably and earned positive customer feedback; the client praised 47Billion's consistent staffing, quality, and responsiveness.

Key Challenges

Offshore development was unreliable and hit-or-miss, prompting the need to augment the internal development team.
Frequent staff turnover at previous offshore vendors caused repeated revisions, fixes, and bugs.

Project Deliverables

Interactive tradeshow map
Mobile app for high-school users
Web applications built from the ground up (PHP/HTML5/JavaScript)
Testing, proof of concept, and product launch
Server management and ongoing support

Project Solution

47Billion delivered end-to-end development work from specifications provided by the client, building products such as an interactive tradeshow map and a mobile app. They executed full lifecycle tasks including testing, proof of concept, product launch, and server management, and developed web and mobile components using PHP, Flash, HTML5, and JavaScript. The vendor supported multiple mobile platforms (Android, Apple, BlackBerry) and worked with various content management systems, dedicating a consistent team to the engagement.

Project Outcome

Work was high quality and consistently met expectations.
Some products were resold by the client with significant profit margins.
End customers were satisfied and the vendor was responsive in fixing issues.
Fixed-cost engagements and a consistent team reduced risk and enabled the client to bid competitively.
