BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Co-Founder at Mogo. I oversee the development and creation of the MVP of the Mogo app and liaise directly with Idea Usher for the production and development of it.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We approached Idea Usher to develop a NFT-based music streaming app. The app aims to change the music industry by introducing blockchain to stream and buy music. We were looking for a partner who could help us design and develop our MVPs but also provide support with scaling up our platform.

SOLUTION

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

We chose Idea Usher to develop our NFT app because they are experienced and proven in the field of blockchain technology and the web 3.0 space. We wanted to build an app that would be able to handle millions of users, so we needed a team who could deliver, strategize and produce the app together with us. We found that Idea Usher had been working with blockchain technology for years and knew the ins and outs of this new technology. They also had experience with NFT apps and knew what it took to build a high-performing product.

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

The project's scope was to create a music app that allows users to stream and play songs. The app must also allow users to buy or rent songs using NFTs. The goal is for artists to be able to upload their songs onto the platform and receive payment through NFTs from those who listen to their music. We worked to understand the goals for the project, including what aspects of blockchain technology could be used. The team then created wireframes and prototypes based on those goals. Tech stack for the project: Node.js and Flutter and Binance Smart Chain

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

The project required team members, including project managers, software developers, quality assurance engineers, UI/UX designers, etc.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The outcome of the NFT-based music app development project provided by Idea Usher was very impressive. Although the project is still ongoing, Idea Usher has displayed tremendous results and progress thus far. Providing us with custom solutions, updates, and even suggestions on moving forward with the app from news and information in the fast-growing web 3.0 space.

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

Idea Usher used a collaborative project management style during the NFT-based app development project. There were weekly meetings with us to discuss progress by team members. The team also used Slack as a communication tool. This allowed them to have private conversations about the project and made it easy for everyone on the team to keep up with what was happening in the background.

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

The most impressive thing about Idea Usher during the NFT-based app development project was their responsiveness and transparency. I know that this is something they pride themselves on, but it was a pleasure to experience. Idea Usher is excellent at finding new solutions and challenging the norm in the Web 3.0 space. The team encountered multiple roadblocks but did not let that hinder the progress and development of the app by a lot and developed custom solutions to overcome the challenges.

Idea Usher is also good during meetings where they would include only the relevant expertise in meetings that calls for them instead of getting the whole team in. This helps with productivity and allows the other team members to continue work and not waste precious time. Lastly, Idea Usher is innovative and constantly seeks new developments in the web 3.0 space and integrates or proposes them into our app. It has been a pleasure working with them. They stand out as an app development cum IT solution company and even go the extra mile of removing obstacles beyond the scope of work.

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

Albeit Idea Usher’s extraordinary work, we wish that the team would be more responsive and replies to messages quicker. We understand that this might be due to the staff being occupied or might be in another meeting. However, the response time is not detrimental to the point where they only reply in a week but typically reply by the next working day.
