Project Summary

AscentCore provided staff augmentation for a reliability management platform, supplying a small cross-functional team that worked on Java backend services, a React frontend, and API integrations. The vendor quickly assembled capable engineers who integrated into the client's sprint process and worked independently. The engagement reduced costs and accelerated feature delivery.

Key Challenges

Aggressive timelines that required additional engineering resources.

Project Deliverables

Augmented five-person engineering team (1 manager, 4 engineers) and added QA resource
Java backend services coordinating client installations
React web application frontend
API integrations and low-level Linux work

Project Solution

AscentCore collaborated with the client's principal engineers on technical design and assembled a five-person team that was onboarded like regular employees. The vendor participated in the client's Agile sprint process as an independent team, performed low-level Linux and Java backend work that coordinated client installations, and developed the React web frontend that communicated with backend APIs. They managed their work within the client's processes and presented progress at sprint reviews.

Project Outcome

Reduced costs by 30% compared to working with a US company for equivalent quality.
Doubled the number of people available to the client, enabling more work to be completed and more features shipped.
Delivered a high-quality, independent team that communicated effectively and aligned with the client's Agile process.
