We were trying to organize our files on a new cloud drive and transfer them to SharePoint.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

deltAlyz Corp. has assisted us in migrating files from our old software to SharePoint. We initially discussed every step on a Zoom call; we shared our screens and talked about taking our information and documents from our OneDrive and transferring them to the new SharePoint within the company.

They’ve sat with us throughout the whole process and given access to those who need it. They’ve also walked our teammates through how to get SharePoint access on their File Explorer and helped us troubleshoot some issues we ran into with file length names.

I haven’t been involved in anything more because I’m just in the legal department, but I know deltAlyz Corp. helps the whole company.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the head of operations at a small nonprofit organization focused on research. I'm responsible for finance operations and leading major projects. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with deltAlyz Corp.?

We needed support developing a piece of software that would enable us to transform data from one format to another as part of a data interoperability standard project. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, I provided deltAlyz Corp. with a detailed specification of the software we were looking for. The team uses Airtable for development with a software development kit that is JavaScript-based. deltAlyz Corp. has expertise with data ontologies, which is a specific discipline within data work. 

What is the team composition?

I've only worked with Rabi (CEO & Technical Founder) and the lead developer.

How much have you invested with them?

The budget for the project is around $35,000 CAD (approximately $25,000 USD)

How did you come to work with deltAlyz Corp.?

I conducted an RFP open by an invitation bidding process. deltAlyz Corp. was one of the 3–4 companies that responded to my RFP, and I chose the team as the winning bidder based on their proposal and the interview we had.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with deltAlyz Corp. in December 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project has been successful, and we're satisfied with deltAlyz Corp.'s deliverables. I've been very happy with their work.  

How did deltAlyz Corp. perform from a project management standpoint?

The team has delivered the project under budget. However, we've experienced delays beyond our control since deltAlyz Corp. wrote some code that needed to be submitted to a third party for review. The third party took 12 weeks instead of two to complete the review, and deltAlyz Corp. was very helpful in expediting that process. The extra time deltAlyz Corp. has put into expediting the review process is still under budget from what they forecasted.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I chose deltAlyz Corp. out of the RFP process because their team asked the best questions. The team also provided the most realistic project work breakdown, stating the possible risks or variances. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Regarding the delay in the review process with the third party, I identified it as a risk at the start of the project. I asked deltAlyz Corp. if they could gather information to get a more realistic forecast about the required timeline for this process. I don't think deltAlyz Corp. reached out to the company for detailed information, nor did more than I had done, which was looking at the company's website. However, I don't know if doing this would have resulted in a different outcome.

Our experience with this third-party reviewer was that they generally didn't respond to emails and were very slow and difficult to work with. We discovered this issue later in the project, and if I had known earlier that the company was going to be this unresponsive, I might have changed some things. I was the one who ended up doing most of the escalation regarding the delay. That is the only improvement area I've noticed in deltAlyz Corp. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I suggest having good specifications about what you want for your project. I've also found that deltAlyz Corp. is very helpful in developing specifications. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a merchandising company for the entertainment industry. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with deltAlyz Corp.?

My company works with many companies with various ways of recording sales. We needed software that could put all of the companies together so my organization could understand it. We hired deltAlyz Corp. to create this software. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We provided deltAlyz Corp. with a full outline of what we were looking for. We had worked with two different companies previously that were unable to complete the task, so we knew what we were looking for. We collaborated with deltAlyz Corp. using Airtable to help define our needs, and they developed the software from there. 

What is the team composition?

We primarily worked with three individuals from deltAlyz Corp.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $20,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together between June–September 2023. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We plan on working with them again in the future; they delivered 90%–95% of what we were looking for, and we just need to make a few tweaks. The entire reason we started this process was to streamline everything, and they were able to do that. Our system is more efficient because of deltAlyz Corp.’s work. 

How did deltAlyz Corp. perform from a project management standpoint?

deltAlyz Corp. delivered on time and within budget. Their team was communicative and asked questions to lead them to solutions. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

One of our biggest challenges was knowing what we wanted but not knowing how to get there, and they did a great job of putting together ideas and developing a system that made everything efficient. They took the time to understand our workflow in order to make an effective solution. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing we can come up with. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t be scared to ask questions because they’ll listen and do their best to adapt to what you need. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and president of Kredibull. We're creating a website that rates the credibility of all internet news, information, and content. We use a Wikipedia-style approach, and the ratings are based on votes from the members around the credibility of content, posts, and reviews. They can downvote posts, too. Similar to how Google indexes every page of the internet, we’re looking to index and rate all information and news content online.  

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with deltAlyz Corp.?

We had to develop our website and its accompanying browser extension. I had some designs and wireframes, but I lacked technical knowledge. As a result, we hired deltAlyz to develop and put the website together. 

Our goal was to develop a simple yet elegant website with an ambitious scope. It should be fast and responsive, emphasizing content rather than visuals and graphics. Moreover, we wanted the site to be highly scalable since we wanted millions of users and ratings for hundreds of millions of web pages. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

deltAlyz had built our website from scratch. The key technologies they use include React for the frontend web application and Cosmos NoSQL for the database. They’ve built the microservices architecture using Docker and Azure functions. In addition, the team has implemented my designs using a zero-trust model. 

At present, we’re in the final stages of developing the app’s full functionality. The deltAlyz team is tweaking and testing everything for that. 

What is the team composition?

I mainly work with Rabi (BI & Automation Expert) and two of their developers. 

How did you come to work with deltAlyz Corp.?

I found deltAlyz on Clutch. Three vendors met my criteria, and I spoke with all of them. We were in discussion for around a month. In the end, I decided to go with deltAlyz. 

How much have you invested with them?

The price of the project is around $140,000 CAD (approximately $104,000 USD)

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2022, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve received a great version of the app. While it doesn’t have great data yet, it has great functionality. Overall, we’re pleased with where we’re at right now. We’re quite excited about the site — it’s responsive and quick, and I’m pretty happy with the UX. 

Moreover, the deltAlyz team has a strong focus on development and delivery. They understand our goals and can come back with good solutions on the first try. Their members deliver great results within one iteration. On top of that, I’ve had great interactions with the developers. They’re capable and responsive. 

How did deltAlyz Corp. perform from a project management standpoint?

We have great communications with deltAlyz. If they identify issues, they propose solutions. We discuss them and resolve everything quickly. In fact, they’ve identified features we need that aren’t in the original plan for the MVP. We’ve since added those features to the product.

We use Teams for communication and Azure boards for collaboration. They scope out everything about the project and put them on the board, where I can approve their work or discuss it with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re not a big company, but they have a responsive and agile team. Every one of their members is excellent.

Moreover, deltAlyz has applied for and got accepted into Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub. Through this, we’ve received assistance from Microsoft on technical issues. Some of these issues are fairly significant for our backend architecture to scale up the way we want. On top of that, we’ve received significant monetary credits for hosting.

It’s difficult to find another company that can do all of these things. The upfront assistance we’ve got has been truly invaluable and greatly appreciated. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. By developing our product, deltAlyz has learned a lot, especially since we’ve worked with Microsoft. Overall, their services were great, and the product they’ve developed is amazing. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend working with deltAlyz if your project matches their expertise. 

BACKGROUND

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with deltAlyz Corp.?

We wanted a system that could intake all the analytics data generated by our application and third-party platforms like Google Analytics, Stripe, and Apple in one place.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

deltAlyz Corp. did custom software development for us using Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Power BI, Logic, and some other third-party plug-ins to bring data from other sources. To jumpstart the process, we had initial meetings where we gave them all the information they needed regarding our requirements so they could get started with the process.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 4–5 members of their team, including Rabi (Data Analytics, Business Intelligence & Process Automation Expert).

How did you come to work with deltAlyz Corp.?

One of our team members found them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February–April 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to the platform deltAlyz Corp. created, now it's easier to access data and integrate with third-party data sources. In addition, they were able to create a platform with the ability to store data that changes over time, which was our main goal. Overall, their work was an upgrade to our previous system, and they committed to us to address any bug that arose. 

How did deltAlyz Corp. perform from a project management standpoint?

They were responsive and quick to address our needs. We also had scheduled follow-up meetings with back-and-forth communication to review the project's progress. In terms of tools and communication, we used Asana and Microsoft Teams.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They had a strong knowledge of development, which enabled them to build the system we were interested in with our customization needs. Moreover, deltAlyz Corp. had an experienced team that trained our staff to use the software.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn't think there was something they could improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Tap into their expertise and ask all the questions that arise because they can help you understand your needs as long as you provide all the information they need.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Tamvoes Health is a digital healthcare company. Our online platform provides users a holistic overview of their health through a virtual health journal, secure uploading and sharing of files and connecting individuals with healthcare providers and loved ones. TAMVOES’ main goal is to enable individuals to have control of their own information. My position is a Business Analyst at Tamvoes, and part of my job involves analysis of our metrics to make data driven decisions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire deltAlyz Corp.?

Due to the nature as a technology based company, we were collecting an enormous amount of data , however the amount of organization and access to that data in an easy to use way was quite limited. Our previous BI tool, Redash, had its uses however it was quite limited due to the extremely technical nature required to use it alongside the lack of integration with all our data sources. We hired deltAlyz to create a data warehouse that integrated all our data sources and provide training for our team on the creation of visualizations using the tool.

SOLUTION

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

We had sales meetings with 4 other companies but ended up with deltAlyz. Firstly, the solutions that other vendors proposed would have had huge costs associated with it such as licenses, whereas deltAlyz offered an all in one solution with Azure + Power BI. Additionally, other vendors had much higher estimated costs for the project itself, ranging from slightly over to 3x as high, alongside huge costs for just the discovery phase, which as an early stage company was not feasible. Additionally, when communicating with Rabi, he was very passionate about the work he does which definitely had a factor in us choosing deltAlyz.

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

First, we had preliminary meetings where we outlined our goals and expectations, deltAlyz came back to us with a presentation on what they do, the tools they use and the reason why they felt those options would work best for us. Once we decided to go forward with them, we started the project. Phase 1 was Analysis and Design, this included a discovery period where our teams collaborated heavily in order to uncover our business priorities as well as our technical capabilities. The second phase was Implementation. This phase involved deltAlyz creating the actual integrations between our various data sources and our data warehouse which also involved a good deal of communication between our 2 teams. The last phase was training. The phase covered the onboarding process for members of the Tamvoes team to learn how to utilize the data warehouse and Power BI.

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

Our main point of contact, Rabi, conducted all the sales related meetings and was present for any business process related decision. He also performed technical work on the back end. We also had regular meetings with 2 other members of the deltAlyz team that were responsible for the technical implementation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to Azure, we have regular backups of the data and are now able to store historical values, whereas previously our SQL database only had the most recent values. The automated processes ensure that it is painless for these tasks to run. Additionally, being able to switch over to Power BI has enabled Tamvoes to pull data from all our sources much more efficiently, as well as present it in a more intuitive way which allows us to make better decisions for our business.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The entire deltAlyz team was extremely responsive. We used a mix of Asana/email in order to facilitate communication and responses from deltAlyz were always prompt.

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

Their obvious passion for their work was a key factor in our choosing of deltAlyz. That, combined with extremely responsive communication and customer service makes deltAlyz a great choice for any business.

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

During the training Rabi got a bit sidetracked talking about some features and had to rush the other bits, however we still received all the information in time. Overall though, this company provided great service and a quality end result.
