Project Summary

Creativa Consultores provided development and testing services for a software company, initially maintaining a legacy Java platform with .NET components and later rebuilding the platform using Apache Cassandra and MongoDB. The vendor remained a contractor after an acquisition and is praised for responsiveness, quality, and quick learning.

Key Challenges

Needed ongoing maintenance for an aging platform.
Required rebuilding the platform and launching a new product line.
Needed developers and testers to support an agile scrum process and regular release cycles.

Project Deliverables

Legacy platform maintenance and patch updates
Rebuilt platform using Java and .NET components with Apache Cassandra and MongoDB
New feature releases on a three-month cycle
Fourth-tier client support

Project Solution

Creativa Consultores maintained legacy products by providing developers and testers using an agile scrum process to implement fixes and release patch updates.

The vendor operates on a three-month release cycle for new features and provides fourth-tier client support to resolve issues quickly.

Project Outcome

Retained as development contractor after the company's acquisition.
Improved engineering department ownership of projects and adherence to deadlines.
Consistent high-quality delivery and responsiveness despite personnel turnover.
