Project Summary

Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) provided staff augmentation to Union54, a fintech startup, supplying backend developers, business analysts, UX designers, and QA testers to help build a scalable, event-driven API and an admin web interface. Their resources enabled the team to put an MVP into production within three months and continue issuing regular releases, allowing the client to capture new customers. The engagement included daily standups and a shared Jira board to coordinate work, and account management was noted as responsive.

Key Challenges

  • Required backend developers with AWS serverless experience to build a scalable, event-driven transaction-processing API.
  • Needed QA testers to ensure a quality product and enable frequent releases.
  • Needed business analysts and UX designers to augment a small in-house team and specify new features and an admin web interface.

Project Deliverables

  • Serverless, event-driven API for transaction processing
  • Admin web interface
  • Backend development resources (AWS serverless expertise)
  • QA testing and test processes
  • Business analysis/specification of new features
  • UX/design specifications for front-end

Project Solution

They helped architect and develop a serverless, event-driven API for transaction processing and supported the creation of an admin web interface. Recruitment involved discussing requirements with an account manager, interviewing candidates, administering practical exercises, and agreeing start dates and SOWs.

Project Outcome

  • The MVP was put into production within 3 months and regular releases continued.
  • The product enabled the client to acquire new customers on an ongoing basis.
  • The engagement fostered a seamless partnership with strong account management and effective coordination.
