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

What impressed me most about this company was their professionalism, its constant willingness to provide support, the friendliness of its team, and the close follow-up they carry out to ensure that everything runs smoothly throughout the training process.

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

We believe a potential area for improvement would be to make the classes more dynamic from the first session, with the goal of encouraging active participation from attendees. It would be advisable to organize each class with a balance between theoretical content and practical or interactive activities. 
In our experience, the instructor applied this methodology in some sessions, which proved very positive; however, it would be ideal if it were implemented consistently in most classes. Otherwise, everything was fine, and we appreciate the instructor's willingness, support, and the knowledge shared.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a team leader at an HR solutions company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Creativa Consultores?

We needed help with custom software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve had different projects with Creativa Consultores; they’re part of the product development team. Currently, they’re developing a tool for contract management from scratch. The platform allows us to generate contract templates and personalize them according to the user’s needs. It also allows sending contracts to clients and having them request changes or sign, among other things. 

They usually assign developers to the team, and we provide them with information about our users and requirements. Based on that, the team members analyze the project, and they can request additional technical details to start working. We usually work through that process for user stories and new functionalities or improvements on existing platforms. Creativa Consultores uses Python, Django, Angular, Java, and Mongo, among other technologies.

What was the team composition?

We’re currently working with three developers and three testers.

How did you come to work with Creativa Consultores?

Some of their developers had worked on other projects for our company, so we knew the quality of their work. When this project came up, we decided to continue with some of them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working on this project in February 2022, and it’s an ongoing collaboration. However, they’ve worked for the company longer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We provide feedback regarding the performance of each developer assigned to the project. However, we don’t have any registry, so we can’t share any metrics. Nonetheless, we’ve had an excellent experience with most of the teammates they’ve assigned.

How did Creativa Consultores perform from a project management standpoint?

We started working with two developers and requested additional ones later on, and they were quick to find them. Overall, Creativa Consultores has performed exceptionally well, and they’ve adapted to our schedules.

We use Jira as a project management tool and Microsoft Teams to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re in similar time zones and have the same language and cultural understanding, so it’s easy to work with them. We work with other service providers in India, and adjusting to the different time zones is complicated.

Additionally, their developers are highly skilled, and they have a great attitude.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve only had issues with two developers. They were recent hires that ended up leaving. However, that was beyond their control. Maybe they could try to implement more filters to reduce rotation, but that’s hard to manage.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Stay in constant communication with their leaders so you can provide a good follow-up to the resources’ performance.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an HR coordinator at a maritime transport company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Creativa Consultores?

It was challenging for us to maintain our databases manually. We needed a company that could build a solution that would allow us to manage all of our HR information on a single platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started the engagement by providing Creativa Consultores with our database. They then start working on the software platform from scratch using JavaScript, HTML, and SQL. The platform is based on our server. Creativa Consultores is currently in charge of maintaining the platform and handling all of its updates.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with a project manager, developers, and an administrator from Creativa Consultores.

How did you come to work with Creativa Consultores?

We found Creativa Consultores through online research. They had very good reviews, so we decided to reach out to them regarding this project.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $25,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2018, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The platform has driven efficiencies in our business by automating our database management processes.

How did Creativa Consultores perform from a project management standpoint?

Creativa Consultores has performed well in terms of project management. They’re always attentive and in constant communication with us. We primarily communicate through in-person meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We had very particular requirements, and Creativa Consultores took the challenge and translated our requirements and needs into a high-quality, well-performing solution. They are very experienced in their field, and we appreciate how they pay attention to our input and feedback.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have done a bit better on the color and image selections on the platform, but that’s about it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to take advantage of all of the skills and services they offer.

BACKGROUND

I'm a project manager at an international NGO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Creativa Consultores?

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We developed a training program for government institutions and thought of automating it to extend its reach. Creativa Consultores took our ideas and the core of the training program and implemented software solutions through Moodle 3.8 to successfully launch it online. They worked with our program officers to integrate our modules into the platforms of seven government institutions.

What was the team composition?

We worked with three resources from their team.

How did you come to work with Creativa Consultores?

We conducted a vetting process among registered providers with similar product development experience and had previous engagements with public institutions. Creativa Consultores met all our qualifications and was strongly recommended to us, so we selected their team.

How much have you invested in them?

We spent around $20,000–$30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our project ran from January–July 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Creativa Consultores was an adaptable team that merged both needs of our clients and public institutions into the product they created. They managed to overcome the industry-specific challenges, including slow validation processes that almost affected our timelines. In most cases, development agencies don't get to work with our final clients, but Creativa Consultores not only accomplished the project but did so with evident expertise as well.

How did Creativa Consultores perform from a project management standpoint?

They were a communicative and prompt team that met all our deadlines despite all the delays and hindrances they encountered.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We valued their communication skills the most because this allowed us to confront any setback that came up over the course of our partnership. They went out of their way and provided us with services that were out of their technical scope — we were pleased to have worked with a team that managed everything wonderfully for us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They delivered everything we needed, and there was no area that they could've done better.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there

I’m a project manager at an IT consulting services firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Creativa Consultores?

We were looking to outsource a software development team.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Creativa Consultores provides us with specialized IT resources who work with us on software development. Most of the time, we use Microsoft technologies, including .NET, C#, and ASP.NET, which we’ve used to create ASPX pages. Additionally, we’ve also used Java in a couple of projects. The team has worked with us on various projects throughout the years.

What was the team composition?

We’ve worked with about 10–12 from their team. The number of teammates who work with us varies depending on the project.

How did you come to work with Creativa Consultores?

We went to a local expo organized for local IT companies to network with firms outside the country. There, we met their CEO and established a good relationship with Creative Consultores. 

How much have you invested in them?

We spend around $20,000–$25,000 per year. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working in January 2012, and it’s an ongoing collaboration.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It’s been an excellent collaboration — we’ve never had any issues working together. Whenever we encounter a requirement that we can’t meet, they manage to find someone to do it. 

How did Creativa Consultores perform from a project management standpoint? 

We manage the project ourselves, but they’ve also supported us throughout, which is excellent. Alongside the Creativa Consultores team, we’ve managed to meet all deadlines and fulfill all our goals. Additionally, we’ve learned how to improve our organization skills from their processes. We use a tool for project management and other tools for Scrum management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Although we manage the project ourselves, their support on that aspect has been great. Additionally, the team is highly dedicated and has precise attention to detail. Overall, we’ve grown to trust Creativa Consultores.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, the team’s been able to solve any issues we’ve had.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there

I am in charge of software quality assurance at a financial services company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Creativa Consultores?

We have a team of 12 people in the quality assurance area that takes care of the requirements analysis, impact analysis, test cases, and test execution. Four of the members of this team are provided by Creativa Consultores.

SOLUTION

We use ISTQB, among other technologies, and manual processes. We test web and app technologies.

What is the team composition?

We’re using four of their people.

How did you come to work with Creativa Consultores?

I believe we were referred to them. They had been working with my company since before I was in this position. At the moment we collaborate, with other companies besides them but we have noticed that the resources they provided stand out for having higher skill levels, experience, and greater commitment than other companies’ resources.

How much have you invested in them?

We spend between $25,000-$50,000 per year.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working with them since 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The results have been good. We managed to integrate a team with a great readiness, specialized skills, and willingness to adapt to our business’ needs and technical requirements. We have two main metrics to measure the success of our projects: delivery times and quality. Creativa's team has had a great success rate in terms of quality and has always been good at meeting our deadlines and scheduling needs.

How did Creativa Consultores perform from a project management standpoint?

They met all deadlines.

What did you find most impressive about them?

One of the reasons why their personnel always stands out in terms of skills is because at Creativa they have constant training in topics related to testing. This provides a great advantage as we don’t have to worry about showing them any specifics. They are very well versed; we just have to introduce them to our business needs and they are ready to go.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I couldn’t say anything.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the engineering director of a company focused on industrial automation, which involves programming machinery and processes that use industrial automation products like controllers, screens, computers, and more.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Creativa Consultores?

We work mainly with industrial software and aren’t as engaged with the IT world. They’re responsible for transferring information from our software products into administrative, financial, and maintenance software. They create and implement that software on sites and web apps.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve collaborated on about three projects with them. They specialize in creating software for the IT world and have helped us in our journey of providing those services to our customers. They’ve developed tools in C# and also use web publishing apps specific to Java and encryption software. That’s ensured that connections between our web portal and local database are secure. They use several other technologies each day. 

What is the team composition?

We collaborate with three members of their team: a salesperson, a senior programmer, and a junior programmer.  

How did you come to work with Creativa Consultores?

I attended a meeting that promoted contracting IT services offshore. We met their company there and found that they were strong in handling technical databases and transactions with other software. After seeing their profile, we had a conversation about our needs and requirements. From there, we invited them to our project.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend between $5,000–$10,000 on each project with them. At this point, we’ve spent a total of $15,000–$30,000 on their services. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve worked with them on several ad hoc projects on an ongoing basis since June 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our company isn’t the end client for their work because we deliver these projects to our customers. We receive our customers’ feedback on the quality of their work. End customers consistently say that the products perfectly align with their needs and proposed requirements.  

How did Creativa Consultores perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been very professional and straightforward at all times. They created a detailed calendar at the beginning of each project, providing us with information on their tasks and activities. Each of the milestones and deliverables lived in that dashboard, and we were able to track progress there. They’ve never missed a deadline using this method of project management. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re able to understand our needs without trouble, even though our team lacks a technical IT background. They explain their processes to our team logically, allowing us to approve their work without delving into technical complexities. Our account manager also regularly keeps in touch with us to ensure that we’re continually satisfied with their work. That allows us to give direct feedback.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’re satisfied with them at the moment. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

In your initial meeting with them, ask about their experience and examine their portfolio. They’re currently expanding their offerings further into the US and Europe, competing successfully in a crowded market.
