Project Summary
Selleo augmented a domestic engineering team for a SaaS learning platform, providing 3–5 engineers who implemented web application features for content management and e-learning design using Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Heroku and JavaScript. The team integrated directly with the client's processes and tooling, improving speed and accuracy while lowering development costs. The engagement ran from Jan. 2016 to Dec. 2016 and delivered reliable, high-quality work, though limited senior staffing ultimately led the client to seek more senior hires.
Key Challenges
- Augment domestic engineering team with a larger, lower-cost development option
- Speed up development to build a competitive R&D cost advantage
- Deliver features and fixes while assimilating into in-house processes
Project Deliverables
- Web application features
- Content management functionality
- E-learning design features
- Bug fixes and maintenance
Project Solution
Selleo worked on an existing SaaS learning product, handling tasks from bug fixes to large-scale web features for content management and e-learning design. The team used Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Heroku and JavaScript and was fully integrated with the in-house engineering team; 3–5 engineers reported directly to the client's head of engineering and followed the client's project management process and tooling.
Project Outcome
- Produced high-quality, reliable work that increased throughput and lowered costs
- Met deadlines and integrated smoothly with the in-house team
- Limited availability of senior engineers led to eventual disengagement
