Project Summary

CodiLime provided long-term staff augmentation and infrastructure support for an IT services company's innovation group, supplying developers, QA testers, data scientists, architects and admin-level engineers. They delivered architecture, design, POCs and MVPs and managed virtual servers, VLANs and firewalls, including administration of a VMware vSphere-like environment. The client praised their cost-effectiveness, project management, flexibility and communication over the February 2014–August 2020 engagement.

Key Challenges
