Project Summary

A SaaS company partnered with eLEOPARD to build an MVP and evolve it into a more scalable platform, initially using WordPress/PHP and later migrating to Node.js/AngularJS with AWS infrastructure. eLEOPARD provided end-to-end services from UX design through development and infrastructure setup, and continues to provide ongoing technical support. The client is satisfied with the engagement overall, though project delivery timing has sometimes varied.

Key Challenges

Build an MVP to showcase the client's vision-solution
Ensure the solution is flexible enough to support repeated iterations

Project Solution

The vendor delivered end-to-end development services, taking the project from UX design (Figma) through code development and AWS infrastructure setup. The team built a fast prototype on a WordPress/PHP stack with a relational SQL database, then migrated the platform to a more scalable stack using Node.js and AngularJS with multiple databases, third-party IAM, and mobile components. eLEOPARD provided ongoing support and adapted to increasing complexity as the product evolved.

Project Outcome

Satisfied long-term engagement and technical support
Improved platform scalability after migration
Effective collaboration across time zones via Slack and Asana
