Project Solution
Monterail started with a small engagement to build and launch the client's MVP and then became their full-time development partner. They provide front-end and back-end development, design, and quality assurance under an Agile process, working primarily with Ruby on Rails and the Angular stack. They implemented mobile apps via the Ionic Framework and support hosting on Rackspace and AWS. Depending on the project, Monterail supplies between 4 and 6 full-time resources and provides ongoing support.
Project Outcome
- Monterail executed reliably, leading the client to expand the relationship instead of building an in-house team
- Provided strategic and conceptual design input and reliable support, including availability outside regular hours
- Effective project management with a dedicated project manager and frequent Skype coordination
