Project Summary

Edvantis provided an outsourced development team to take over R&D and maintenance for an asset performance software company. They maintained and improved legacy systems using VB.NET, C++, and C#, resolved defects, delivered minor features, and later built a web-based UI for an optimizer system. The client reported high-quality, scalable, and performant work, with strong communication and reliable delivery.

Key Challenges

Transition from a legacy application to a new series of applications
Outsourcing maintenance activities to an offshore provider
Need to maintain and improve existing code while focusing internal resources on new development

Project Deliverables

Research and development (R&D) of the software solution
Defect fixes and maintenance
Minor feature development
Web-based UI for the existing optimizer system

Project Solution

Edvantis took over all research and development (R&D) activities after the client dismantled its internal team. Initially the vendor focused on resolving defects and adding minor features; later they developed a web-based user interface for the existing optimizer system. The team worked in agile two-week sprints and used VB.NET, C++, and C#.

Project Outcome

More proactive and higher-quality output compared to the client's former in-house team
Delivered scalable and performant software
Worked in two-week sprints using Scrum with velocity tracked via story points
Reliable, responsive outsourced team that is easy to communicate with
