Project Summary

Scalefocus (formerly Upnetix) helped develop a custom JavaScript networking platform for entrepreneurs and investors that manages events, meetings, reviews and integrates with a CMS. They integrated closely with the client's internal team, implemented strong project management, and senior staff actively monitored code quality and assisted with development. The engagement began in June 2017 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

Previous vendor culture and management issues disrupted development.
Client had limited internal development and IT experience and needed a long-term development partner.
