Project Summary

Dreamix provided specialized development resources to expand an existing compiler product and tooling, working across a stack that includes C, Java, Python and PHP. The team started small and scaled, delivering code fixes and new features and adding a DOS/VSE mainframe environment within six months while suggesting improvements to product and development processes. Communication was maintained via Slack and daily scrums with occasional onsite visits.

Key Challenges

  • Develop core compiler products, tooling and runtime for complex mainframe-to-cloud scenarios
  • Recruit and supply highly specialized programmers capable of solving extremely complex technical challenges
  • Build a co-located/closely integrated team to extend the product set and support a roadmap of new products and languages

Project Deliverables

  • New mainframe environment (DOS/VSE) added to the product
  • Code fixes and new feature development for the compiler product
  • Ongoing development resources and improvements to dev processes

Project Solution

Dreamix supplied experienced engineers to extend the client’s core compiler products and tooling. They worked within the client's existing roadmap and technology stack (C, Java) and a devops environment (Jenkins, Makefiles, Git/Mercurial, Python, PHP). The engagement began with code fixes, progressed to new feature development and process improvements, and the team added a DOS/VSE mainframe environment to the product.

Project Outcome

  • The Dreamix team added a DOS/VSE mainframe environment to the product in less than six months.
  • The vendor suggested and implemented product and development process improvements, increasing client confidence in future collaboration.
  • The engagement worked effectively with daily scrums, frequent Slack communication, and occasional onsite visits for knowledge transfer.
