Aktiv Software Pvt. Ltd.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the Sr. Director at Cytex Solutions, an end-to-end cyber security solutions agency in Ahmedabad.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Aktiv Software Pvt. Ltd., and what were your goals?

Our company had a requirement to deploy flexible CRM software to manage internal operations smoothly. The current system was outdated and bloated with old data. We hired Aktiv Software to help us assess our current needs and provide solutions that align with our security enablement goals. A customizable CRM software implementation to enable handpicked features for data security at Cytex.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We considered several affordable off-shore options and selected Aktiv Software because they understood our project requirements and could assist us with everything we needed to achieve our goals.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The proposed plan was to integrate the Odoo CRM module with some custom integrations and functions:

• Setting data access rights in the CRM system for our routine work. We managed access levels for general/authoritative users to prohibit/allow access to sales reports, predictive analysis, etc., without obstructing the purpose and essence of the CRM software.
• Customized real-time dashboards to regularly monitor the security status of the CRM system and company-related security factors.
• Integrated Odoo CRM with our security system to quickly track the key security metrics for the IT infrastructure.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

There were two project managers, two QA resources, and three Odoo CRM developers involved.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Aktiv and the team were well-prepared and focused on the timeline thoroughly. The delivery time was just perfect, and so was their accuracy, scoping skills, and ability to solve system-centric problems. The QA was good, and the quality of communication evolved with the project.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Project management was accomplished through daily communication, weekly sync meetings, and sharing regular reports or emails.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their requirements definition process was systematic. They shared equal responsibility and provided suggestions during the initial requirements gathering phase. ktiv Software could be a potential partner for someone who needs to address their requirements quickly and precisely.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

There isn’t anything that comes to my mind. I wish to reach out to them for some larger scope projects in the future.
