Ariel Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the lead software engineer at Standard Power Nova, an infrastructure-as-a-service company in the energy sector.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Ariel Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. to accomplish for Standard Power Nova?

We hired them to migrate an old application to a modern C# Blazor app, add features to the existing set, and reskin our operations dashboard.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Over the past two years, Nitish and Manoj (Software Engineers) have modified the existing application, which uses Clojure, to add features, fix issues, and migrate the application to the new language to better fit the suite of applications our company already uses. The main deliverable was to have the same application but in the new language. There have been many related side projects, though, that couldn’t wait until the conversion was finished. For example, they’ve added items to dropdowns, changed the schedule for automated emails, modified the SendGrid templates, and fixed general Clojure logic.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Ariel Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

How did you come to work with Ariel Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd.?

We found them through a referral. Their pricing fit our budget.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in February 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve deployed the updated version of the application each week and examined the features that were worked on or deployed that week, according to a schedule. We mostly measure the results based on weekly progress meetings and reviews of the current state.One feature they’ve suggested is using an AI chatbot instead of having a link to the full documentation. People really like the chatbot with scoped information rather than reading the whole document.

How did Ariel Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

The people we’ve worked with at Ariel Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. are very organized and communicative. The project management is up to me. They’ve delivered all requested features in an acceptable amount of time.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have great suggestions, are able to implement the requested architectural features for seamless integration with existing systems, and do a great job on all tasks they’re assigned to.
