Project Summary
Opinov8 collaborated with the client to design wireframes and develop 2,500 user stories, then built native iOS and Android apps plus two in-app portals and a custom web portal. The backend was implemented using a .NET-based microservices architecture and container environment to support scalability. The MVP launched successfully with immediate user sign-ups and has since grown to over 1,000 users with relatively few, low-level issue reports. The engagement began in March 2017 and is ongoing under an Agile delivery model.
