BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of a crypto company based in California, US.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Hivex , and what were your goals?

We hired Hivex to help our internal team with a software development project on a staff augmentation basis. Basically, we needed professional developers to complement our in-house team, since the expertise of the latter didn’t suffice to create software according to the concept we had framed.

SOLUTION

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

We did extensive research, both online and by talking to people. One of our PMs worked with guys from Hivex at her previous job, and that was the case very similar to ours. So we contacted them and scheduled an interview. The interview helped us understand that they had the expertise we lacked. Also, they were open to work on a staff augmentation basis. These were the deciding factors.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

After the interview, we took several days to conduct a couple more interviews. When we decided on Hivex, we contacted them and scheduled a kick-off meeting. As they were already familiar with the concept and the approximate project roadmap, we used the kick-off meeting to discuss things in more detail and define project steps and responsibilities of our team and theirs. Soon after, we got down to work. As of now, we’re on the testing stage.

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

Two front-end and three back-end developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The augmented staff members from Hivex have integrated with our in-house team particularly well. We’re satisfied with the outcomes and will likely hire them for future projects.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The project has been managed from our side.

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

Their expertise and that it has been easy to work with them.

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

No, nothing comes to my mind.
