Project Summary

Waverley Software provided two engineers to augment the client's team and supported iOS mobile application development. Their work included iOS APIs, Swift, Core Data, and REST API implementations. The engagement improved the cadence of external releases and maintained application crash rates, though communication requires clear specifications due to the remote nature of the work.

Key Challenges

Needed to expand development capacity beyond the current team
Sought an offshore staff augmentation partner to increase throughput
Required very specific requirements and closed feedback loops to mitigate remote context limitations

Project Deliverables

iOS APIs and mobile app development
Swift and Core Data implementations
REST API implementations
Dedicated engineering resources (2 engineers)

Quality of Deliverables

“Application crash rate remains stable since the engagement began, and the cadence of external releases has improved. Communication can be hampered by too much back-and-forth, but quality of work generally wins the day. Waverley executives demonstrate a vested interest in long-term business success.”
