Project Summary
Helpware Tech (formerly eTeam) developed a secure Open Banking platform for a finance-lending client, handling scoping and development requirements and delivering the project in phased two-week sprints with demos. The vendor helped turn loosely defined requirements into a working product and established the platform within six months. Project management and communication (Slack, weekly meetings, bi-weekly demos) were highlighted as strengths.
Key Challenges
- Build an online platform leveraging Open Banking to securely share prospective borrowers' banking data.
- Ensure the platform is secure, streamlined, and extensible.
- Enable lenders to make better credit decisions by verifying borrowers' ability to afford repayments.
Project Deliverables
- Open Banking platform
- Backend services (Golang)
- Front-end application
- QA testing
- DevOps setup (part-time)
- UX designs
- Project management and scoping
Project Solution
The vendor assisted with scoping and developing requirements, converting loosely defined needs into a functioning Open Banking platform. They ran the work in phases using two-week sprints with demos at the end of each sprint, and provided project management, backend and frontend development, QA, part-time DevOps and UX support. The vendor was selected after evaluating outsourcing options and in-person meetings in Kiev.
Project Outcome
- Went from zero to a working platform in six months.
- Improved project management and communication via Slack, weekly meetings, and bi-weekly demos.
- Delivered a high-quality product with vendor autonomy that eased the client's workload.
