Project Summary

Binar::Apps provided staff augmentation to a film/TV production software company, contributing Swift and Ruby on Rails development for iOS and web products. The vendor's resources integrated closely with the small in-house team via daily stand-ups, Slack, and GitHub, improving stability and user feedback during beta testing. The engagement began in April 2017 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

The client needed to augment a very small in-house team to speed development and improve quality
New hires needed to function as if they were part of the existing team
The client aimed to increase headcount while maintaining close collaboration

Project Deliverables

iOS app for directors to track production
Cloud-based ingestion and distribution of clips and metadata to the iOS app
Web interface for managing users and productions and a web viewer app

Project Solution

The vendor augmented the client's small team by providing senior developers and a tester to work as embedded resources. They developed an iOS app (Swift) and backend/web components (Ruby on Rails), implemented cloud-based ingestion and distribution of clips and metadata, and collaborated closely using Slack and GitHub with daily stand-ups and periodic in-person visits.

Project Outcome

The product entered a beta testing phase with positive user feedback
Application stability has improved during the engagement
The vendor's resource is well integrated with the in-house team, improving development efficiency
