Project Summary

Qulix developed a desktop software product for a financial software company to support fund selection and portfolio construction for institutional investors. They provided a dedicated offshore team of 10 developers who delivered front-end and back-end development using C# and .NET and worked in a sprint-based process with JIRA. The product received generally positive feedback with effective defect resolution.
