Project Summary

Itexus upgraded MANGO's coaching web application to a fully functional version using Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, and CSS, assigning two developers and a senior person. They conducted a tech review and roadmap, improved the codebase and architecture, and completed the release within an eight-week timeframe on time and within budget.
