Brocsoft

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a digital marketing, technology services, and software development company. We are a full-service digital agency with business consulting, strategy, experience design, and technology practices. Our team has helped design, architect, and implement robust and scalable digital marketing platforms for some of the world's leading global enterprises. As the organization's marketing manager, it is my role to manage all marketing initiatives as well as partnerships and alliances.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Brocsoft?

We were having difficulties finding highly skilled front-end application developers, so we hired Brocsoft.

SOLUTION

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

We had a mutual customer, so when we saw that working together would be a good fit, we formally established our collaboration.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Having beautiful visualizations on our end client’s app helped their publishers make decisions about what they're going to do. Moreover, the resources Brocsoft provided were generally as-advertised in high quality, and their prices were competitive with the market rates.

The team was collaborative, and their bug rate was within our end client’s expectations. Since much of what they did was closely tied to our end client’s team work, it was hard to isolate Brocsoft’s team performance. Still, they had been really open in helping our end client figure out what to ask for. They seamlessly integrated with our end client’s team, no matter their geographic location.

Brocsoft has been really flexible in helping us find places to economize and places to invest. Another thing we liked about working with them is their honesty and transparency in highlighting issues early.

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

We've worked with 3-4 people from Brocsoft, starting from the junior level to all the way up to their most senior developers and architects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We partnered with Brocsoft on multiple opportunities. The recent project was completed iteratively by Brocsoft, which is assembling an excellent team of React engineers. Data gathering and preparation for the front-end were the responsibilities of our own team. In addition to handling the front-end development functionality, the Brocsoft team also offered Agile approach consultation.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We used to have a daily stand-up meeting, and have been using Slack for quick conversations. It's hard to separate their project management performance from our in-house team's performance. Brocsoft's leadership and project management skills have been beneficial since our team is spread out and we didn't get a chance to meet the Brocsoft team in person.

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

Their work is consistently of a high caliber, and they are remarkably adaptable to adjustments requested by our clients. Brocsoft's team has consistently worked with us to identify the appropriate resources for our projects. Their team is highly knowledgeable and has suggested several innovative solutions to our client, which was super impressive.

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

We would recommend that their team could work on their verbal communication a little more. Rest, their team is responsive and hands-on, and their leadership expertise is their strongest suit.
