Elinext

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our agency handles everything web-related. We conceptualize and program websites, online shops, and mobile apps, as well as individual applications for timekeeping and other purposes. I am the chief executive officer of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Elinext Group?

We usually develop web-based mobile apps, but clients sometimes ask us for native iOS or Android apps. We aren't able to develop them in-house, so we decided to look for a partner to help us deliver the native solution requested by our end-customer.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We handled the app's design while Elinext Group did the development itself. 

How did you come to work with Elinext Group?

We considered a few companies that had contacted us in the past with outsourcing offers. Elinext Group was one of them. We asked for proposals and timelines for developing a particular app. Elinext Group had the best reply and proposal structure. We also had very good communication with their contact person, so we decided to choose Elinext Group.

How much have you invested with Elinext Group?

The cost of Elinext Group's services was around $3,700.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Elinext Group in 2016. All tasks were completed, based on the incomplete content that we received from the client. Elinext Group delivered the final version in October.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

We've had an open development process and were always up-to-date on the steps being taken by Elinext Group. I would characterize the relationship as transparent.

How did Elinext Group perform from a project management standpoint?

The project was delayed because our client didn't deliver some content on time. Elinext Group was completely on time and kept to the budget we agreed on. We kept in touch with Elinext Group's resources both directly and through a project lead. Communication was done through Skype, and we exchanged documents through secure server links that were sent via email.

What did you find most impressive about Elinext Group?

Since Elinext Group was the first company we've used for developing native apps, I don't have a point of comparison. Overall, we were satisfied, and we wouldn't want to switch to another developer for any future projects.

Are there any areas Elinext Group could improve?

No. Details around how we wanted to work were discussed upfront. Elinext Group stuck to everything we specified as being important.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our company provides sophisticated customer analytics in the outdoor power equipment and power sports dealer, distributor and manufacturer ecosystem, multi-related to marketing and sales. Our solution is software-as-a-service, and it's used by many of the biggest manufacturers on the market. I am the vice president of engineering for the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Elinext Group?

We were looking to expand the scope of our software offering, and couldn't find the proper talent in short enough time.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Elinext Group has been working on both web-based and internal solutions for our company. We are using HTML5 for our mobile systems, so we've never created native apps specifically for iOS or Android.

Besides building new features, Elinext Group has also taken care of maintenance and support. We have been working with 4-5 developers from Elinext Group, and have interacted with them through both project and technical leads. Those two people are responsible for distributing tasks and allocating resources.

How did you come to work with Elinext Group?

Some parts of our software development team are already distributed, with most of them being in the US. We needed support in a different time zone, with the same level of expertise. We started looking in the Europe space, posting on several websites, and Elinext Group responded to one of our requests. Our primary criterion was the level of expertise held by the personnel, and their response time. We considered around 10 companies in total, 5 of them from India, 2 from China, and 3 from Europe.

What is the status of this engagement?

We have been working with Elinext Group for around one year.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

The amount of source code written by Elinext Group is in the thousands of lines, so they are very productive. Elinext Group is proactive in creating documentation for all our projects, which I've appreciated, and they have provided adequate testing. The communication with Elinext Group is superb, with a very favorable response time. I often assign a couple of tasks to Elinext Group at night time in our area and come back in the morning to find everything completed.

How did Elinext Group perform from a project management standpoint?

Elinext Group has delivered everything on time and within budget. We are using an open-source system called Track, which acts as a project and bug tracker, while also giving us access to the source code. It's more of an engineering system, but it's good for managing small projects.

What did you find most impressive about Elinext Group?

The depth of Elinext Group's knowledge and their experience is amazing. We can throw any request at Elinext Group, and find someone who has knowledge of it at an expert level. This can go from SQL [Structured Query Language] databases to Apache Hadoop and Spark, to anything on the user experience side. Elinext Group has very good web and middle-tier development teams.

Are there any areas Elinext Group could improve?

On the product management side, we would like to have someone on Elinext Group's team, not necessarily an engineer, working closer with our product managers. This is more our problem than theirs.

BACKGROUND

We are an educational technology startup company focused on the development of instructional coaching software and teacher evaluation applications for K-12 schools. I am the founder and managing member.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with the Elinext Group?

The main challenge was developing software for the teacher coaching function. There was no software on the market that could provide a complete solution to this problem. Existing software focused on classroom observation and not evaluation. Schools had communicated an urgent need for instructional coaching and classroom evaluation software. A number of schools indicated readiness to use the beta versions of the software. Our software offered an immediate, comprehensive and practical solution to this challenge.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had a clear vision for the web application, which was embodied in our detailed specification, design and software requirements. The Elinext Group provided invaluable technical recommendations on the basis of this information. Elinext carried out the frontend, backend, and database development work.

How did you come to work with the Elinext Group?

We wanted a partner with deep technical knowledge, experience in building educational software and who was “startup friendly.” Elinext came highly recommended to us by former clients. We examined the group’s web projects portfolio and was impressed by the complex projects they had completed. The fact of their over 17 years of experience cemented our final decision.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project was initiated as a fixed cost model with an estimated half-year duration by the Elinext team. Elinext completed this phase on time and fulfilled all requirements. However, the need to implement extra functionalities and reorganize the application, driven by critical changes in the coaching process, led us to switch to a dedicated team engagement. The work is ongoing and Elinext continues to provide development and support. We have been successfully working with Elinext for two years now!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

The result of the work of the Elinext Group is a web application with a responsive design for internal use by school officials. The three parts of the application—teacher coaching, classroom evaluation, and classroom observation—are being developed on ASP.NET and aims to replace routine paper work with just a few clicks. It provides a vibrant user-friendly data dashboard, offers easy navigation, ease-of-use and provides PDF or XLS data export formats using ShieldUI Chart Library and JavaScript. I would definitely recommend Elinext Group and without hesitation include them in the final shortlist of companies for any project under consideration.

How did the Elinext Group perform from a project management standpoint?

The work is still ongoing, but as far as the first phases are concerned, the developers have been able to meet all deadlines and stick to the agreed schedule.

What did you find most impressive about the Elinext Group?

Their professionalism, thoroughness, and serious attitude are impressive. Even at the stage of initial inquiry, they provided professional consulting, detailed estimates with project timelines, the architecture of the application, the mock-ups and so forth. A very important point is that they love communicating with their clients and are highly responsive to clients’ needs.

Elinext project management is best of class and their quality of work is first rate. We got direct access to the development team, communicated directly with the lead developer and continuously with the project manager. It was easy to overcome challenges and make changes quickly as the project unfolded. They provided unique perspectives and fresh ideas to the project at every turn.

Are there any areas the Elinext Group could improve?

Their work was excellent! They met all our requirements, and I don’t see how they could’ve done better.

BACKGROUND

We are a German startup company and our vision is to create a simple yet powerful survey engine. With customers in dental medicine, we realize professional surveys are a cornerstone in their quality management.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

The business opportunity is to improve the product or service quality process by analyzing customer feedback. More companies recognize the importance of customer satisfaction and are able to gain special knowledge about their clients. We want to bring these benefits to companies in the medical, dentistry, banking, and insurance verticals.

SOLUTION

At the beginning of the project, we did the development internally. Eventually, we began to realize that we needed additional support when it came to custom programming. This was the point where Elinext Group came into the picture. The first project was the advancement of our existing development. We were trying to expedite the process without diminishing the quality. Based on their performance, we decided to let Elinext assume full responsibility for the custom development of our solution. One of the main objectives of our project is the development of a back-end interface that will allow us to manage our product questionnaires and many other parameters that need adjustment or revision. The project duration was set to approximately six months, and our collaboration remains ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Overall, we are very satisfied with their performance and the quality of their programming skills. Elinext Group has been able to deliver their assignments consistently while respecting our time and budgetary requirements. We've been especially impressed with their communications and project management skills. Also noteworthy was their ability to think creatively and help us strategize. We would not hesitate to cooperate again with Elinext.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your organization.

We are a startup company from Denmark, Copenhagen, that created online dating service for Denmark residents who were ready for long-term relationships. The idea was to give a possibility for a user to create profiles, make in-app purchases, and upload video presentations and matching features. Because we didn't have an extensive technical background or access to IT [information technology] specialists, we had to find a reliable partner that would have the expertise in the development of social networks and provide full-cycle development, which would include strategic consulting and custom development. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What business challenge were you trying to address with Elinext Group?

When we first decided to build this application, we went out in search of qualified developers with experience building similar applications. We also required business analysts with the technical background to translate our objectives into functional requirements. We didn't have the experience to scope the project itself, so we needed a partner that could help us with strategy as well as execution. The Elinext Group team fully coped with the task and helped us run the project. 

SOLUTION

Describe the scope of their involvement.

They supplied a business analyst, project lead, and .NET and mobile developers who created the web portal and the iOS application. We've really appreciated the help offered by their business analyst because his contribution has helped us clarify a full list of features that would make the app useful. The technical support and maintenance that Elinext Group offered to us after the launch was also invaluable. In spite of the remote work, we were glad to see Elinext Group team members at the presentation of our project in Copenhagen.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any results from this engagement?

The web portal and iOS app have been quite successful so far. Our end users seem to enjoy the app and the engagement levels we're seeing are very promising. We've only discovered a handful of issues with the app, and they've been resolved very quickly by Elinext Group. Communication has never been an issue with their project lead or business analyst. They take a very meticulous approach to development and walked us through the development process step by step.

Our semiconductor solutions are used across networking, wireless connectivity, servers and storage, broadband, and industrial applications. And our infrastructure software supports private cloud environments, mainframe systems, cybersecurity, enterprise software, and Fibre Channel storage network management.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Elinext to accomplish?

We were upgrading a network monitoring product and needed help making sense of hybrid infrastructure — both physical hardware and virtual layers. The goal was to bring everything into one interface, improve visibility, and make the system more usable for real-world telecom environments.

SOLUTION

How did you find Elinext?

We found Elinext offline

Why did you select Elinext over others?

We knew their work and ability to manage complex, long-term systems, not just short-term tasks.

How many teammates from Elinext were assigned to this project?

89+ people

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

They were involved in both backend and frontend parts of the system — refactoring architecture, improving data processing, and building new UI components on top of an older framework. This included integrating around 15 third-party systems, working with large-scale data processing (including migration to Vertica), developing algorithms for storage and analysis, and building tools like a network monitoring simulator for testing. 
They also helped customize the product for different telecom clients by adapting it to specific network setups and ensuring everything worked reliably in real-world environments.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Hard to pin it down to one metric, but the biggest shift was that we now have a single system that connects physical and virtual network layers. It handles large volumes of data, gives real-time visibility, and is already used by telecom providers to monitor their infrastructure more effectively.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Given how many teams were involved, things could’ve easily gone sideways, but they kept their part organized. Work was delivered in iterations, communication stayed consistent, and they adapted pretty well when requirements shifted or new integrations came in.

What was your primary form of communication with Elinext?

In-Person Meeting

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

Can you imagine building 15 third-party systems with old codebase, missing documentation, hardware integrations, all of it. They just got into it, figured things out, and kept building on top of what was already there. There were really hard parts, but accomplished what we were going.

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

Nothing major stands out. It’s a long-running project with a lot of moving pieces, so naturally there were adjustments along the way, but nothing that slowed things down in a serious way.
