Client

XA Systems

Fairfax, United States of America

Project Summary

AgileEngine prototyped and developed an analytics automation product for XA Systems, using Java with architecture elements based on Apache Tomcat and a strong focus on UX. The vendor provided iterative prototyping, consistent onshore/offshore resourcing, and reliable communication throughout a long-running engagement. The client praised AgileEngine’s consistency and technical delivery but noted a lack of an in-house UI department.

Key Challenges

Lack of internal development expertise to build an analytics automation product
Need to collect analytics across a wide range of customer areas with a market gap in available solutions
Requirement for current technology performance and architectural expertise
Deliver a robust product that met business requirements while iterating based on customer feedback

Project Deliverables

Analytics automation software
Prototypes demonstrating functionality, UI, and navigation
Backend architecture built on Java and Apache Tomcat
Iterative prototypes and production-ready code

Project Solution

AgileEngine reviewed the client's goals and design specifications, built prototypes to demonstrate functionality, UI, and navigation, and implemented the system using Java with architectural elements based on Apache Tomcat. They ran iterative development cycles, provided regular remote meetings and communication, and continued to expand into more complex phases to deliver the automation software.

Project Outcome

The solution met documented targets within expected timeframes
Iterative development enabled rapid implementation of large changes and refinements
A consistent, productive relationship developed using both onshore and offshore resources
Client satisfaction with functional delivery despite outsourcing UI refinements to another firm

Quality of Deliverables

“Sacrificing quality isn’t an option for AgileEngine, and they offer a variety of software expertise. Communication remained effortless despite varying native languages, and they provided outsourcing recommendations that could be trusted. The only aspect they’re missing is an absorbed UI department.”
