Project Summary

MentorMate provided staff augmentation to ramp multiple scrum teams for a health insurance company, delivering frontend and backend development as well as quality engineering. The vendor built an Angular web frontend, mobile app, and Java backend while implementing automated testing and platform engineering.

Key Challenges

Rapidly scale development capacity beyond what could be hired locally to get the project moving.

Project Solution

MentorMate supplied full‑stack development teams and ramped multiple scrum teams to build the client's Angular web frontend and mobile app, and staffed Java backend development. They provided automated quality engineering (test automation) instead of manual QA and performed platform engineering to set up the deployment pipeline. The engagement included recruiting, onboarding, and specialized training to integrate their resources with the client's product teams.

Project Outcome

MentorMate became embedded with the client's teams, producing work indistinguishable from in‑house resources.
Many product owners preferred MentorMate resources over the onshore team.
Strong ongoing communication (Slack/Zoom) and tailored training improved team integration and responsiveness.
