Project Solution

Stermedia was selected for deep LAMP expertise (Symfony) and built a new version of the BrokerStar platform. The ongoing scope is to continuously improve code and usability, keep the application on a current version (moving from biennial updates to continuous updates), and integrate BI via TIBCO Jasper Reports. Work is performed within the client's scrum process with daily collaboration; staffing has varied from a larger initial team (project leader + 4–5 developers) to a current configuration of a senior developer and a tester with additional developers as needed.
