Project Summary

Applaudo Solutions provided staff augmentation to DecisionLink to redesign and rebuild the API and UI for their Customer Value Management platform and to migrate infrastructure to AWS. The engagement began with a small team and scaled significantly, with Applaudo handling recruiting and implementation while collaborating closely with the internal team. The client reports a strong partnership, effective workflow, and a high degree of ownership from Applaudo's team.

Key Challenges

Design and build a next-generation API and UI to replace a legacy 10-year-old codebase
Refresh and modernize the entire stack, including migration away from semi-self hosted infrastructure
Start with a small initial team and scale resourcing as the project progressed

Project Deliverables

Rewritten UI

Project Solution

Applaudo provided staff augmentation, recruiting and assigning developers to the client's teams to perform a ground-up rewrite of both the API and UI, and to implement a migration from semi-self hosted infrastructure to AWS managed services. The client retained ownership of data modeling and architecture while Applaudo executed the bulk of the implementation and onboarding of resources.

Project Outcome

Grew the Applaudo team from 4 developers to 13 developers and added a project manager, 2 scrum masters, 2 business analysts, 6 QA, and 2 designers.
Established an effective workflow with strong collaboration and a sense of ownership from the vendor's team.
