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 client reports strong technical performance, good communication, and positive business impact.

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
