Project Summary

Kellton Tech Solutions provides external development resources to a small software development firm, supporting conceptual design, .NET/Microsoft SQL backend work, and some iOS and HTML5 frontend development. The vendor has been engaged repeatedly over several years on mostly short initiatives, delivering work that the client says is indistinguishable from in-house output. The client highlights Kellton's stable team continuity and high development standards.

Difficulty locating, vetting, and onboarding developers quickly
Need to increase development capacity for short-term projects

Project Solution

Kellton provided ongoing outsourced development across conceptual design and functional application development. They executed primarily .NET and Microsoft SQL backend tasks, with some iOS mobile work and limited HTML5 frontend involvement. The client retained internal QA/QC review but reports that Kellton's code rarely contains flaws. The vendor was selected for the quality of their proposal and their development methodology and has remained embedded in the client's processes over multiple initiatives.

Project Outcome

Work is indistinguishable from in-house development
Stable development team with low turnover
Rare defects identified in custom coding
Ongoing engagement over three to four years with projects typically around $15,000 and largest over $100,000
