Project Summary

BrightMarbles augmented Comtrade's internal development team, supporting backend services and the integration/data access layer for a complex B2B electricity market transaction hub. They worked primarily with .NET and PL/SQL, implemented business logic in stored procedures, and integrated into two-week sprints. Their resources came up to speed quickly and reinforced the client relationship, leading to ongoing collaboration.

Key Challenges

Reinforce the existing development team to work on backend services and the integration layer
Adapt a complex B2B market transaction system to support changes required by new legislation
Manage the flow of meter data between multiple stakeholders including national authority, retailers, metering providers, and enterprise systems

Project Deliverables

Backend services
Data access layer
Stored procedures and database-side business logic
Architecture workshop and knowledge-transfer sessions

Project Solution

BrightMarbles provided developers who worked on backend services and the data access layer using mostly .NET and PL.SQL. Much business logic was implemented as stored procedures in the database to speed processing. The engagement began with a workshop to onboard BrightMarbles resources to the solution architecture and requirements, and then work continued in two-week sprints. BrightMarbles supplied three developers/testers who were integrated into the client's development team.

Project Outcome

Strengthened the client relationship and secured continued work on the project
Successful delivery enabled the vendor and client to reinforce an already good relationship
The BrightMarbles resources integrated with scrum processes and supported coordinated delivery across multiple teams
Resources were quick to respond, motivated, and flexible, contributing to timely delivery
