Project Summary

Sensiple augmented an internal ERP development team in Omaha, providing bug fixes, product enhancements, third-party integrations, and migrating screens from Visual Basic 6 to VB .NET. They supplied developers across mobile, portals, API, and desktop, developed a REST API to enable third-party integrations, and handled maintenance and client service tickets.
