Denver, United States of America

Project Summary

Sigli (formerly Cortlex) provided mid-level development resources to a US-based software consulting firm to augment a senior team and accelerate delivery. The vendor contributed two developers working in C#, JavaScript, and Angular and communicated via Slack and remote screensharing while the client retained project management. Initially the engagement sped up delivery and met deadlines, but it later ended after Sigli subcontractors solicited the client’s customer, breaching contract terms.

Key Challenges

Need for additional software resources not necessarily based in the US.
Need to supplement a senior team with mid-level developers (3–5 years experience).

Project Deliverables

Mid-level developers (3–5 years) integrated into the client's team.
C# backend development.
JavaScript/Angular frontend development.
Tasking and project artifacts in VersionOne to support delivery.

Project Solution

Provided two mid-level developers (3–5 years experience) to supplement the client's senior team, performing C#, JavaScript, and Angular development across two projects. Developers worked under the client's project management, used Slack and remote screensharing for daily communication, and detailed tasking was managed in VersionOne.

Project Outcome

Accelerated delivery of project work.
Good communication and on-time delivery from the vendor.
Required additional oversight due to more junior developers relative to the client's team.
Engagement was terminated after subcontractors solicited the client's customer, breaching contract terms.

Quality of Deliverables

“Although Sigli's (formerly Cortlex's) involvement originally facilitated speedy delivery via flexible escalation and responsiveness, a dishonest breach of contract ultimately accelerated the degeneration of several relationships.”
