Project Summary

Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) provided staff augmentation to Webfinity, supplying developers, QA testers, and DevOps experts to build and support a single-page AWS platform using .NET, Angular, and SQL. Their team of around six people integrated with the client's development organization, working in agile processes and communicating via Slack and Hangouts. The vendor continues to provide ongoing support since mid-2015, and the client reports the engagement as a complete success.

Key Challenges

Difficulty finding motivated developers
Need to onboard developers, QA, and DevOps quickly
Avoid wasting time and resources on extensive interviewing

Project Deliverables

Single-page web application
AWS-based platform
Frontend using .NET and Angular
SQL and Amazon database backend
DevOps deployment and support
Dedicated augmented team members (developers, QA, DevOps)

Project Solution

The vendor provided staff augmentation to help develop a single-page application running on AWS. They staffed the project with developers, QA testers, and DevOps experts and built the frontend using .NET and Angular with a SQL and Amazon database backend. The vendor helped identify needed roles, supplied an initial cohort (3–4 hires) and ultimately around six ongoing team members, and sent staff to the client's UK offices for 10–14 day on-site collaboration. Work was run through agile processes with continuous feedback cycles and account-manager coordination, and the vendor continues to provide support since mid-2015.

Project Outcome

Continued long-term engagement with the vendor
Enabled faster product development that the client says would not have been possible without the vendor's resources
Seamless integration with the client team, with vendor members acting as internal team members
Consistent on-time delivery and often exceeding expectations
