Project Solution

The vendor took over ongoing maintenance and redevelopment of a monolithic over-the-counter trading platform, working as an embedded four-person team. They focused on adding new features, integrating the product with external systems and existing exchange systems, and gradually migrating functionality away from a Scala codebase toward Java and a mixed-language architecture. The team operated collaboratively with the client's staff and supported agile sprint-based delivery.

Adoption of agile sprints with Jira and a dedicated project manager
Improved communication with partial return to office and face-to-face interactions alongside remote calls
