Software Mind provides long-term staff augmentation to a financial services firm, delivering development support across eight internal projects using a .NET-based stack (C#, JavaScript, Angular). The engagement began in May 2018 and has expanded from two initial developers to a multi-role team including 35 developers, two security developers, two tech lead architects, and a project manager. The client spends approximately €2 million per year on the relationship and reports strong collaboration, knowledge sharing, and plans to continue the partnership.

Project Solution

Software Mind provided staff augmentation and development services across eight internal projects, delivering in-house applications for the client's Edinburgh office including front-office, back-office, and client-facing systems. The vendor supplied developers and security developers, two tech lead architects, and a project manager, and worked primarily on a web-based frontend using a .NET stack (C#, JavaScript, Angular) with Visual Studio and PFX. They also assisted with recruitment, onboarding, and aligning new team members with Software Mind’s processes and development practices. The engagement began in May 2018 and remains ongoing.
