Project Summary

STX Next provided ongoing technical expertise and administrative support for a Python-based Plone CMS, delivering troubleshooting, custom add-ons, server management, backups and monitoring. The team consistently delivered high-quality code with minimal bugs, improved management processes and allowed the client to move away from waterfall constraints to more responsive development. The engagement began in July 2013 and has been retained on an ongoing basis.
