Project Summary

Netguru provides outsourced development and maintenance for a Ruby on Rails learning management system, addressing bugs, adding features, and correcting data. Despite some personnel inconsistency, the team has produced good results and several staff members go above and beyond to meet requirements; the engagement has been ongoing since January 2017.

Key Challenges

Need for specialized Ruby on Rails expertise that is hard to find onshore
Lack of internal development staff requiring outsourcing

Project Deliverables

Active status feature (student onboarding to first course)
Workflow implementations
Bug fixes across UI and backend services
Data maintenance and corrections
Ongoing maintenance and feature delivery for the legacy Rails application

Project Solution

Netguru developed multiple features (including an active status for student onboarding), implemented workflows, performed numerous UI and service-level bug fixes, and handled maintenance and corrections to the system's data. While the client plans to migrate to a new platform and hire in-house/onshore staff, Netguru continues to maintain and deliver fixes and features on the legacy Rails application.

Project Outcome

Team produced good results addressing legacy platform issues and adding features
Staff went above and beyond to ensure requirements were met
Ongoing maintenance kept the legacy application operational while migration plans proceed
