Project Summary

STX Next provides long-term development augmentation to Hogarth, working on four enterprise web application products primarily with Python for development, testing, QA, refactoring, and new features. The vendor integrates into Hogarth’s Agile processes and tools (JIRA, Confluence) and has scaled from peak engagement (~40 engineers) to a stable team (~25). Collaboration has produced dependable, high-quality output with minimal bureaucracy, and the engagement began in July 2013.

Key Challenges

  • Couldn’t recruit Python developers quickly enough at the scale needed in London.
  • Needed additional development bandwidth to support multiple enterprise products.

Project Deliverables

  • Enterprise web applications
  • New features
  • Bug fixes
  • Refactored legacy code
  • Automated test suites
