Project Summary
Opinov8 partnered with United Language Group to modernize its translation and interpretation platform through API-driven custom software development. The engagement focused on security (authentication and authorization), API integration and B2B exposure, and frontend design using React. The vendor provided staff augmentation across multiple scrum teams and supported Microsoft Azure/SQL infrastructure. The client reports strong technical performance, good communication, and positive business impact.
Key Challenges
- Modernize an existing platform
- Adopt an API-driven, services-first architecture
- Establish robust security (authentication and authorization) for web applications and APIs
Project Deliverables
- API-driven services
- Security and authorization for web applications
- B2B service APIs
- Frontend (React) implementation and UI design
- System integrations and API management
- Staff augmentation and team recruitment
Project Solution
Opinov8 provided API-first custom software development, focusing on services-first architecture rather than a top-down UI-first approach. They implemented security protocols including authentication and authorization for web apps, exposed services for B2B consumption, performed system integrations, and delivered frontend work using React. The vendor supported the client's Microsoft-based stack (Azure, SQL, functions, service buses, API management) and supplied multiple scrum teams as an extension of the client's organization, handling recruiting and scaling.
Project Outcome
- Metrics (code coverage, bugs, scope changes, velocity) are positive and used to measure impact
- The client transitioned away from historical partners and increased investment in the Opinov8 partnership
- Project management and communication were reliable, with the vendor accommodating meetings and engaging with business stakeholders
