The team is working on around 15 projects involving engineering, standardization, and enterprise architecture. They’re also building a product. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CIO, Zolva - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 501-1,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 1, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: The client is delighted with Intellias’ work; they implement strategy well and meet timelines. Moreover, they’re accommodating, and their project management is good using Jira. They deliver on agreements, earning the client’s trust and contributing to the project’s ongoing success. "“We put a lot of eggs into their basket, and it was the right decision because they’re doing things right.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the CIO of a pan-European debt collection company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? IT is an extremely important component of our business. We can spend 40, 20, or 90 cents to collect €1 (approximately $1 USD), and our performance depends on how secure we feel when we buy new debt portfolios for banks. We needed extremely competitive IT, but it wasn’t within our business line, which is fintech and financial services. Therefore, we decided to outsource our IT. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias provides us with IT and development services. We’ve outsourced most IT management positions to them, and they’ve found teammates with experience in fintech and financial services for us. The team provides IT engineering and helps us with strategic planning, process standardization, and our enterprise architecture. They’re helping us with around 15 projects.  Our company has moved into six countries, and the team has helped us deal with legacy IT networks and apps. They’re helping us aim for standardization and unification of networks and tools and are moving us into the cloud. We have niche vendors that provide collection systems in different counties, and Intellias is involved in implementing these systems. They help us communicate with vendors and drive these projects for us.  Additionally, we’re developing our own product to find tech companies, and Intellias is building this product.  What is the team composition? We have various teams from Intellias working on different projects. So far, we’ve worked with engineers, business analysts, project managers, service delivery managers, and an enterprise architect.  How did you come to work with Intellias? I knew them from a previous job. Although I hadn’t worked with them back then, they participated in tenders for IT market benchmarks, and I remembered them as a very relevant provider. When we opened this company, I contacted Intellias.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent up to €3 million (approximately $2.9 million USD). We spent around €900,000 (approximately $873,000 USD) in 2021, and we’ll spend another €2.5 million (approximately $2.4 million USD) by the end of 2022.  What is the status of this engagement? We started discussions in June 2021 and our work together around August 2021. Our engagement is ongoing.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  We started our company about 15 months ago, so it’s too early to speak about quantitative results. However, my success metric so far is that I’m completely happy with our progress and how Intellias implements our strategy. They’re reaching our plans and meeting timelines; we’re almost always within budget and plan, which is most important for us right now.  Moreover, when we need to replace a teammate who’s not performing well or to scale down the team for any reason, Intellias accommodates us even when it’s not in their business interest. Together, we’re looking into the future long-term, not just for next month.  How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Their project management has met our expectations. We have a set mode of operations with face-to-face meetings twice a year where C–suite executives from both companies are present. In those meetings, we discuss progress, issues, and concerns. We also have regular and ad-hoc meetings with the teams to manage our projects together, and the team also presents weekly reports.  Jira is our main project management tool, and we also use other elements of Jira, such as Confluence and Kanban boards. As for meetings, we use Microsoft Teams.  What did you find most impressive about them? I’m impressed with Intellias’ trustworthiness. They always follow our agreements, so we trust each other. We’re looking forward to the journey in front of us with them.  Are there any areas they could improve? They could propose to market more products as a business strategy. As for the services they provide to us, we’re happy with them. Any issues we’ve had with them, we’ve resolved fast. The mark of good cooperation is how efficiently we can resolve issues, and we’re also satisfied with this aspect of our partnership.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? My advice would be to trust Intellias. We put a lot of eggs into their basket, and it was the right decision because they’re doing things right.  --- #### Staff Aug & Web App Dev for AR Startup **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: May 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias has provided two development resources to an AR startup. The resources have built the frontend of the client’s web application using JavaScript, React, and an Electron framework. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Executive, AR Startup - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 7, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: Intellias has provided valuable technical resources with strong frontend development expertise. They’ve met deadlines, and their efforts have helped the client secure additional project funding. The team has used Jira to manage tasks and Microsoft Teams for daily stand-ups and ad-hoc communication. "“We’ve really enjoyed working with them; they’ve been kind, reliable, and available partners.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m an executive for an AR startup; we create an augmented consultancy system to convey information between consultants and clients. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We are a relatively small startup with limited resources and changing requirements, so we engaged Intellias to provide valuable technical resources. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Since engaging Intellias, they’ve provided us with two technical resources to help with our development initiatives. Their resources have collaborated closely with our developers and become integral team members. We didn’t have much documentation to start with, but they worked with our clients to define the requirements and create extensive development documentation. The Intellias developers have built our web application's frontend, a windows-based AR system. We’ve taken care of the designs, and they’ve helped us implement them using an Electron framework, JavaScript, and React. Although they’ve assisted us with web development, the system doesn’t run as a web service; it runs locally on our proprietary hardware. Currently, we’re only working with one frontend developer from Intellias because we onboarded more developers internally.  What is the team composition? We’ve worked with two frontend developers from Intellias.  How did you come to work with Intellias?  Our company started working with Intellias before I joined, so I’m not sure how we initially came to work with them.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested roughly 200,000 francs (approximately $200,000 USD) in the partnership with Intellias.  What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working with Intellias since 2020 and the partnership is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Since we’ve integrated the Intellias resources directly into our team, it’s difficult to quantify the impact they’ve had. However, they’ve shared their strong frontend development expertise and brought great value to the project. We’ve really enjoyed working with them; they’ve been kind, reliable, and available partners. Our current developer from Intellias has fulfilled all our expectations so far, and he’s been a huge help to the team. Recently, he did outstanding work to help us reach a milestone that secured funding for the remainder of the project, so we’ve been very happy with the results. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Even though we’ve been responsible for managing the project, our developers from Intellias have met deadlines and communicated effectively. Any time we’ve approached them with a suggestion, they’ve made it happen quickly, which I’ve really appreciated. They’ve met our expectations and been an excellent partner. We’ve operated in a scrum environment and used Jira to manage tasks. We’ve met for daily stand-ups and communicated regularly via Microsoft Teams, email, and Jira comments.  What did you find most impressive about them? We’ve been impressed by how remarkably the Intellias team has conducted business during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. They’ve maintained open communication, and we haven’t seen any significant business impacts. They’ve handled the situation admirably well.  Are there any areas they could improve? I have nothing Intellias could improve on; we’ve been happy with their work thus far. --- #### IT Services & Consulting for Financial Services Company **The Project** - Services: Cloud Consulting & SI, Custom Software Development, IT Managed Services, IT Strategy Consulting, Other IT Consulting and SI - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: Aug. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A financial services company has hired Intellias for IT services.

The team is helping build server applications that integrate settlement and clearance processes within the client’s payment solution. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Project Manager, Mobile Payment Platform - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 30, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: The client is delighted with Intellias’ performance and impressed with their nearly bug-free software development. The team is prompt, communicative, and collaborative through Jira and Confluence. Their expertise, combined with their professionalism and motivation, are key to the project’s success. "“The way the company communicates and their pragmatic approach to problem-solving are outstanding.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m a project manager for a mobile payment solution. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We needed more development capacity. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias provides us with development resources. The team is helping us develop server applications that implement settlement and clearing processes behind our payment solution. This is an integration project, and the goal is to exchange data files with external partners such as banks. Since these are processes running in the background, the UI is very limited. Intellias is developing an admin-facing UI that functions to monitor these processes. Although the solution is running from a data center at the moment, we’re in the process of migrating into AWS.  What is the team composition? We work with three people from Intellias, including two developers and a DevOps specialist.  How did you come to work with Intellias? My former boss found them. We often get offers from nearshore and offshore companies, and I believe Intellias contacted us. We chose them because they were promising and professional and because we don’t find development capacity in the local market.  What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in May 2019, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  I’m extremely happy with Intellias’ performance. I’ve been in the IT business for more than 30 years, and it’s the first time in my career that I have worked with developers who write nearly bug-free software. Although we have errors from time to time, it’s once every 1–2 months, which is exceptional. Whenever there is an issue, they’re prompt in their response. Additionally, the team has good expertise.  How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Their project management is more than satisfactory. We use the Agile methodology and Jira and Confluence as project management tools. Within Jira, we use the issue system and Kanban boards. Meanwhile, we use Confluence for documentation and requirements.  We have a daily standup meeting where we talk about the previous day’s work and the plan for the following day. From time to time, we also have longer-term discussions about what will come next.  What did you find most impressive about them? I’m impressed with Intellias’ professionalism, which distinguishes them from other companies I’ve worked with. The people they hired for us are at a high level of expertise, and they act business-like. The team is motivated and wants to achieve our goals.  Additionally, the way the company communicates and their pragmatic approach to problem-solving are outstanding. I’m also amazed by how they’ve reacted to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine; they’ve kept cool and organized logistically to find solutions. They’ve even offered a possibility for their employees to migrate to other countries — they have offices in Poland.  Are there any areas they could improve? Although there are always details to improve, I don’t have any criticisms.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? My advice is to explain your needs as explicitly as possible, and Intellias will tell you if they can or can’t meet them. You should know what you need very well and document it. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Legal Research Company **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Mar. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias is tasked with augmenting a legal research company's internal team.

They are currently developing the platform.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, GetPongo Holdings - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 17, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Intellias' work has received glowing feedback from various stakeholders, as they've been instrumental in the product's development. They deliver on time and as specified, and they foster a healthy working relationship through their communicative approach, professionalism, and positive attitude.  ""They are able to work through various issues and problems by being outstanding communicators."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I'm the CEO of GetPongo Holdings, a Singapore-based holding company that's developing a B2B platform. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We needed help in conceptualizing, designing, and developing our product.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Our platform is unlike anything on the market, as it integrates many different services. Right now, B2B platforms are fragmented, and they only offer standalone solutions. Through extensive research and analytics, we've come up with a system architecture that integrates various B2B solutions.  Our app acts as a search engine for manufacturers. A buyer from any part of the world looking for whatever item can find it on our app, and we have millions of data points that include various product details. They can use that to buy products in bulk. B2B buyers can visit our platform and use it to search products and acquire accurate manufacturer data. Once they purchase, they can also optimize their orders' packaging, trading unit, and container through the app. On top of that, users can track their purchases in real-time through our solution. Intellias has supported our discovery phase. They've identified various personas that will use our platform, and they've figured out the systems architecture of what we want to accomplish.  We established four basic protocols of how we wanted the information to flow. We had various progress charts, flow charts, and a systems architecture. Intellias has digested all our documentation — they've looked at it closely and worked with our team to bring our concepts to fruition.  Additionally, Intellias is handling our app's UI/UX. They create designs that speak to the professionalism, look, and feel that we want on our platform. We want a clean, simplistic, and modern layout that has a lot of information. We want our platform to meet the demands of the future. We've already ended the discovery phase, and we're currently in the actual development of the platform. What is the team composition? We work with a core group of 4–5 teammates. However, there are times when we have a certain specialist involved to provide assistance depending on a workshop's topic. How did you come to work with Intellias? We did a lot of research and due diligence. We interviewed various firms, and we felt that Intellias was the most well-rounded company we talked to. They were also very responsive, so we hired them. How much have you invested with them? We've spent up to $30,000 for their discovery phase support, and we'll be spending $600,000–$1 million for the development.   What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in May 2021, and it's ongoing.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Everybody from Intellias has done a great job, and their work has received positive feedback from our team, investors, and third-party partners. They're a good company, and I've enjoyed their professionalism. They've done a great job with their reports and strategies.  How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Intellias has met all our deadlines, and their communication has been on point — if they don't understand something, they ask for clarification. Their approach has helped us successfully put together our sophisticated platform.  We use Slack, Jira, and Figma to collaborate. Their team is personable and kind. What did you find most impressive about them? Intellias' communication skills are fantastic. I'm working with various agencies for this project, and some of them don't communicate at all. If Intellias doesn't understand something, they ask questions. They are able to work through various issues and problems by being outstanding communicators.  Are there any areas they could improve? I can't think of anything.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? Have clearly defined goals and expectations, and understand what you want.  --- #### Website Development & Design for Transportation Company **The Project** - Services: Web Design, Web Development - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: Nov. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias provides web design and development services for a transportation company. Their team is building an onboarding platform with Java. They're handling both the front- and backend development efforts. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 3.5 - Willing to Refer: 4.5 **The Reviewer** CTO, Transportation Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 31, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: The solution is meeting expectations, and the partner is happy with the work thus far. Intellias has overcome every obstacle that has occurred throughout the engagement. Their team works with a scrum methodology and maintains daily communication. They have a great recruitment process and structure. "“They have a well-defined process for development and are well-organized.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the CTO of a transportation company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We were searching for a partner to design and develop our website. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Their team developed our website. Most recently, they’re doing a little bit of web design work. It’s a workflow engine built with Java. Since Java is our stack, we thought this was a good choice. They’re doing the front- and backend. We give them our requirements and do most of the research on our side. The website is an onboarding platform for QIC and QIB. We get information about drivers and companies through this platform. This includes their driver’s license, insurance, and information about the company. Instead of doing this process manually or via email and phone, the platform allows us to do it. The end-user is the one who’s going to input the information. There are a lot of steps that are automated. For example, we’re able to get all the information about a company just by inserting the registration number or we can get information about a person by uploading their driver’s license. What is the team composition? There are 5–6 people on the team, including a frontend developer, three backend developers, one architect, and a business analyst. The team lead is one of the backend developers. How did you come to work with Intellias? We did research online and selected several companies. Our team was looking for a company in Ukraine or Belarus because all of our developers are there and they speak Russian. We were looking to integrate with the team we had already. Our company did an RFP process with the best four companies and decided on Intellias.  We had a feeling they were more mature in comparison to the other companies. They have very nice offices in Ukraine. Their team did a very good job answering all of our questions when we went to visit them. They set up a round table with some of their experts and described what we needed to do with our current challenges. Intellias was proactive and professional so we ultimately chose them. How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested over $1 million. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in November 2019, and our engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’ve had some problems along the way, but Intellias has been able to overcome them all. I’m happy with their work so far, and the product is turning out well. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Our team does most of the project management. They have a delivery manager on the project that we don’t pay for right now. We communicate via Slack and Microsoft Teams. Together, we work in a scrum methodology. The product owner communicates with them every day. I have a catch-up meeting every couple of weeks. What did you find most impressive about them? Intellias has a greatly structured process for the recruitment of resources. They have a well-defined process for development and are well-organized. Are there any areas they could improve? The main problem we’ve had is that two people left their company and had to be replaced. This caused us to lose time. It’d be helpful if Intellias could retain their resources. They’re too expensive. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Have someone in your company who is overviewing and reviewing the architecture of the product. This goes for any company you choose to work with. --- #### Research & GIS Data Input for Information Services Company **The Project** - Services: Application Management & Support - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Oct. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: To build out an info company’s dataset, Intellias has helped incorporate Google Maps into the company’s product.

While there’s still a degree of human error, the team is receptive to feedback and participates in regular reviews of the work. They perform best with consistent communication. "“They’re the best company we’ve worked with in this capacity.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the product manager of an information services company that provides locational data of different retailers and points of interest around the world. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We were trying to add additional data to our datasets such as store size and other attributions. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?  Intellias is helping us expand and manage our dataset. Using their own proprietary technology and the UI that we’ve built, they’ve helped us incorporate Google Maps into our product. They now research specific locations to attribute them with store sizes and other information. They send over the metadata via Google Sheets, input it directly into our UI, and do additional QA services. What is the team composition?  They’ve assigned an overall project lead who manages 12 senior members and 20–25 non-senior members. How did you come to work with Intellias? We first came across Intellias while searching for companies that specialized in geographic information system (GIS) mapping for Google and other search engines. They really sold us on their sales pitch presentation. The team put together a comprehensive PowerPoint PDF, breaking down the deliverables and coming up with several great questions about the scope of work. That just went to show how much attention to detail they were giving us. How much have you invested with them? Our run rate is about $18,000 per month. What is the status of this engagement? The project started in October 2020 and is still ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’ve worked with about 4–5 companies in the same capacity, and Intellias has gone above and beyond. Every week, we have two meetings with them on edge cases and specific scenarios that we want to review. It’s clear that they do the best job at being accurate in terms of what we’re looking for, and they really feel like part of the team. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We’re able to automatically see their throughput throughout the day since they’re inputting data directly into our UI. As for communication, it’s been very fluid. They mostly use GoToMeeting or Zoom to screen share. We have daily updates, biweekly meetings, and monthly reviews. What did you find most impressive about them? A lot of our data has to do with American retail. Even though a lot of their team is not from America, they’ve come up to speed very quickly and have acquired a knowledge of the sector that many Americans would not have.  Are there any areas they could improve? They’re the best company we’ve worked with in this capacity, but there’s still a degree of human error that we’re continually trying to improve.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? You should facilitate a level and cadence of communication like we have because that’s what’s given us the best results. --- #### Software Engineering Augmentation for Travel Tech Co **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias augments software development resources.

I’m an engineering director with Omio, which is a travel aggregator. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We’re using their services to extend our software development capacity for projects related to maintaining existing systems. When we have an immediate business need to scale beyond our momentary engineering capacity, we also leverage Intellias’s services. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias mostly maintains our systems in the Java infrastructure. Their team makes sure that our systems work as expected and address additional requirements originating from our business partners. For example, they help integrate travel suppliers into our system. Based on commercial needs and business opportunities, we occasionally need to quickly scale up the support for our engineering team. Intellias’s software engineers then quickly create data integrations to engage business partners in those opportunities. Their team works either independently or collaboratively with our in-house teams to develop and launch those projects. What is the team composition? We usually work with software engineers and team leaders. On average, we work with about 15 people, including a delivery manager. How did you come to work with Intellias? I wasn’t with the company when they selected Intellias. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Intellias in January 2017, and our collaboration’s ongoing.

Are there any areas they could improve? Most of the time, we’re satisfied with the service. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Know what you want to achieve and what specific skills you require. Intellias is flexible and will try to find the best solution for you.

We’re specialists in software for traffic simulation, traffic management, and logistics applications for trucking companies. I’m the director of engineering and logistics application. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We have some experience in development and we were lacking the next step, going onto the cloud. We decided to integrate all of our services into one new service holding. We needed some external help to speed up the development. We needed more knowledge for technologies our development team were unfamiliar with. We brought on Intellias to educate our team and help build up the platform.   **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We’re a Microsoft partner, so we needed to use Agile as a base for this new product. We were also thinking about Docker. We asked specifically for people with background in that area. We had some workshops in the beginning, going back and forth on ideas with them, just to see if it was suitable. Their deliverables were focused primarily on training our team. What is the team composition? Then they brought in two people, one developer, and one cloud architect How did you come to work with Intellias? We held an RFP process and several companies made us an offer. If the offer was fine, we decided to have a workshop and test things out with them. Intellias was recommended by another company that we work with. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent about $300,000. What is the status of this engagement? The project started in April 2018 and we finished at the end of June 2020. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Our primary goal was getting our team up to speed, which we’ve achieved, so now we can continue on our own. By all means, it was successful. Now our team has the skillset we need. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? They were attending our daily stand-ups, so it was very easy to measure the steps they were taking. They worked very closely with our team and communication was great because they talked several times daily. If something needed to be discussed, one of us would just pick up the phone and call. They even came and visited us a couple of times. Every two weeks we discussed progress, data, financial stuff, which helped everything work out well. They were very prepared and organized. It was a painless process. What did you find most impressive about them? We’ve worked with different external teams before, and in comparison, Intellias excels when it comes to management. They assigned us a personal manager that dealt with our account. The second thing that impressed me was their enthusiasm. They really wanted to help us and bring us farther. It was extraordinary. They’re not only proficient in the services we needed for this project, but we were able to bring them on for other projects as well. They have a team with a broad skill set so we can bring them on quickly. Are there any areas they could improve? I can’t really name everything. It was a really good collaboration. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Generally, try to find out what each party really needs so you can understand each other. You want them to be invested in your project. --- #### Dev Staff Augmentation for E-Commerce Platform **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias provides staff augmentation and support, managing the output and working style of an internal Java developer.

We needed additional development help because we only had one developer working on our system. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We have one mid-level Java developer whose output and working style Intellias helps to manage. They give us weekly and bi-weekly updates on how he’s doing. They’re always looking at different ways they can help and offer suggestions. What is the team composition? There’s one point of contact and one team member. We are looking to potentially expand to another Java developer and a QA teammate. How did you come to work with Intellias? I researched 15 companies around the world and chose Intellias because they had the best offering. How much have you invested with them? We spend $5,000–$6,000 per month. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in January 2020 and the work is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They bring in a fresh and modern approach that we don’t have. It comes down to process. Intellias asks the right questions, and if there’s a delay or any issues, they communicate right away. There haven’t been any issues, and they’re top-notch. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We use Jira for project management and Slack for communication. So far, communication is as needed and frequent. They review the requirements, ask any questions, provide an estimate, and based on the estimate, we have a due date. It’s been a good experience. What did you find most impressive about them? They’re a very good, professional company, and they have different positions. For example, if we wanted to do some short-term projects based on AI, we know we could use them.   Are there any areas they could improve? There’s nothing that stands out that I’d have them improve. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be very upfront about what you want. Asking a lot of questions will really help them in deciding who they bring on for you and will inform them of how they can help you going forward. --- #### Custom Software Dev for Electrical Technology Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Apr. - Dec. 2019 **Project Summary**: Intellias handled custom software development services for an electrical technology firm.

Intellias handled last-minute scope changes in stride. Flexibility and an agile methodology are hallmarks of their work. The partner was particularly impressed with the UX designers, describing them as professionals. ""The best parts about them were their flexibility and professional UX designers." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. "I’m a technical product owner for an electrical technology firm. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We needed developers to help build our IoT product. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias handled the front- and backend development of our IoT solution using JavaScript and a bit of Java. We collaborated on creating wireframes and mockups, but they provided their own UX designer. A highlight of the development process was their microservice architecture on the backend. In addition to that, their team provided mobile app development and web presentation services. The apps were built using React Native and they serve as the content of our IoT product. The website was developed using React. Intellias also established a few of our continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes. What is the team composition? The delivery manager was our main point of contact. There were two people on the mobile app team and two on the website team. We had 8–9 people working on the front- and backend team. Also, there were 1–2 UX designers depending on the project phase. How did you come to work with Intellias? The initiation occurred before my time here at the company, but there was a public RFP and they won the competition. How much have you invested with them? We invested $300,000. What is the status of this engagement? The project lasted from April–December 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Intellias was extremely flexible throughout all of this. What’s more, they did a fine job on the front- and backend of the website. The mobile app team, however, was still in the learning phase. Overall, the best parts about them were their flexibility and professional UX designers. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? They worked with an agile scrum methodology. We mainly used Jira and communication went through the delivery manager. Throughout the process, we held standups and meetings with their whole team. What did you find most impressive about them? Their flexibility and UX designers were very good. The rest was okay. Are there any areas they could improve? The mobile app developers were okay but they still have a lot to learn. In my opinion, they have room for improvement. Some of the developers did a lot of proactive implementation and communication, which was very good. However, there were some who struggled with the language barrier. This is often an issue with remote teams, but they’re still on an overall high level. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Make an effort to filter through and hand-select the people you want to work with. In other words, make it clear that you aren’t taking the B or C team members. We conducted interviews in order to do this and had a pretty good team in the end. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Digital Lab **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: Oct. 2018 - Jan. 2020 **Project Summary**: Intellias has performed a wide range of product engineering services, spanning mobile app development, SaaS solution creation, and various integrations. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Former Digital Delivery Manager, Agro Chemical Company - Industry: Manufacturing - Client size: 10,001+ Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Mar 11, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: The team quickly adapted to working with the internal team, efficiently delivering quality results. They brought a high level of expertise to the engagement, particularly excelling at Jira development. The specialists were invested in fostering a positive collaboration. ""Their professionalism and pragmatism made the team very flexible." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. One of the big players and most innovative in the agrochemical industry. About 30.000 thousands employees worldwide. My position was Digital Delivery Manager, in charge to setup a dream team in Kiev to support the digital strategy of the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Intellias? A layer of transformative digital products and services for the farmers. It went from proof of concepts, tech spikes, integrations and extensions with other applications, mobile apps and a SaaS. What were your goals for this project? Build a core team in Kiev, part of a bigger network of digital product engineering teams. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? A request of proposal was sent to different companies. Intellias was the most responsive and thorough in their answers. Describe the project in detail. We were a special client of Intellias in the sense that the team members we hired were working in our offices in Unit City (Innovative Business Center at the heart of Kiev). Intellias adapted their management style to accommodate to our demands. I was in contact of different representatives that had specific roles (HR, Delivery/Account manager, etc.). However I was in contact with my counterpart that was basically like a member of the company. The hiring process was transparent and it didn't feel like a process from a separate company. What was the team composition? We started with an agile team from Business Analysts, UX/UI Designers, Backend and Front End Developers (Java and React), QAs, Tech lead and one Devops at the end. (the team was around 30 people) **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? While I cannot share the product we developed, I can measure the success on how fast we setup a team of 10 and later augmented it to more than 30 members. The skills and maturity of the team has been recognised from the first weeks of activity. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Well, almost all 'my' team in Kiev was coming from Intellias. They worked with another dev team in The UK and other developers from US and India. It was challenging at times but their professionalism and pragmatism made the team very flexible. I cannot criticise much since they passed my hiring process and we had great time working together. I never considered them as part of another company. What did you find most impressive about this company? When they tell that they care about their staff, they don't only say it, they do it almost on a daily basis. Intellias was like an extension of our HR office but specialised for IT. Hiring and keeping developers or any staff in IT can be challenging to say the least. They helped us to get a great team! Another thing that impressed me is the way they are using JIRA. A showcase for any company. Are there any areas for improvement? I loved discovering their center of expertise. They need to get better in advertising what they do. They deserve to be known by more companies and create more synergies. The presentation of their CVs was top notch but sometimes the content was incomplete. The rush of hiring was the cause but these details could matter for other companies. At the end of the day the most important was that we built a trustable and fruitful collaboration. --- #### Development Partnership with Mapping Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2014 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias provides development support to a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform.

They instituted a process that other parts of the company have leveraged. The team follows industry best practices. "“Intellias has a culture that renders results; their people are motivated, and I believe this is their key strength.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. My relationship with Intellias started when I was the VP and CTO of a location platform.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We had opex pressure as well as a talent shortage. I wanted to free up the talent we had in-house and shift some of the development operations of mapping cloud systems over to a lower-cost location, where I could still have engineering skills but at a fraction of the cost. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias mainly worked with us in the Geographic Information System (GIS) space. They helped us develop mapping and data compilers for GIS systems. What is the team composition? We worked with around 20 people from Intellias. They were an extended partner for us, and we concentrated on building a process that was scalable and would render high quality. I believe that the rest of the company took that model and expanded upon it. I can’t speak for the other parts of the business at the time, but I think it grew to about 800 people. Where did you find Intellias and why were they the best fit for this particular project? We were looking for a partner rather than a subcontractor or supplier of human resources, and we did a very broad survey that lasted about eight months and included practical development.  Of the companies we shortlisted, Intellias was the one that came out on top. There was a good compromise of price and skills. Company culture helped a lot, since we wanted engineers that were motivated to work with us; we’d had cases of partner companies with internal cultures that weren’t as good. We needed to have that extra motivation, and Intellias proved to have a very good internal culture. They still cultivate that, bringing high value for whomever they work with, internally and externally. It was a bit of a gamble, since we’d never worked with them before, but the results we got from the survey were very accurate. I think they’re a very trustworthy partner. How many companies did you look at on this shortlist? We shortlisted six companies. Were you the main person involved in choosing them for this project? I was the executive in charge of the process. I was the main sponsor, and I was on top of the process very actively.  What is the status of this engagement? We started discussions in 2014 and commenced the project in 2015. The work is ongoing.   **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They took on an internal work package that was being done by highly skilled people, and they were able to produce the same output quality as our internal organization in a very timely manner. We helped them and went through the process together. We successfully transferred and lowered the cost of a key operational piece of the company, and we were able to free up talent. Secondly, we started a pattern that could be leveraged by other elements of the company to outsource operational elements. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? They followed very good industry-standard practices and were very much on the ball most of the time. Any issues we had were due to things on our side rather than theirs. What did you find most impressive about them? We wanted to have people who were dedicated to working on our projects, and that could only happen if they were motivated to work for the company. Intellias has a culture that renders results; their people are motivated, and I believe this is their key strength. Are there any areas they could improve? They’ve grown very quickly, and it’s not always easy to keep the same level of quality. I think they need to be a bit more selective as they grow. It’s more something for them to watch out for, rather than correct. --- #### Dev Team Augmentation for Employee Engagement Software Co **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Dec. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias delivers development augmentation services to a company that builds B2B employee engagement software. They provide front- and backend developers and work in AWS, React, and Node.js. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 0.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Co-Founder, CTO & R&D Director, Snappy Gifts - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 31, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: Intellias facilitates a seamless collaboration, delivering a positive staff augmentation experience. Internal stakeholders handle project management, but Intellias’s delivery manager helps resolve issues and define processes. Their company is just the right size to remain flexible to client needs. "“We’re very pleased with Intellias in terms of quality, responsiveness, communication, and flexibility.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the co-founder, CTO, and R&D director of Snappy Gifts. We sell B2B employee engagement software, and I lead development. We have a development center in Israel and a remote team in Lviv, Ukraine. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We wanted to expand our development team, and it was hard to source developers in Israel based on the numbers we were looking for. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias augments our development team. They’ve provided frontend React developers and backend Node.js developers. We work with AWS. What is the team composition? They’ve provided around six developers to our team. How did you come to work with Intellias? I had personal experience working with them. I got in touch with at least three companies and, after some consideration, found that Intellias was the best fit for us. First of all, we were looking for a team that we could be in easy contact with, and Lviv is in the same time zone as Israel. Secondly, Ukrainian people are similar in culture to Israelis, which was another point in Intellias’ favor. Their cost worked for us, and it wasn’t easy to find people with the same skills as our team in Israel, so their technology stack was also a factor. How much have you invested with them? The cost mostly depends on the number and type of engineers we’re hiring. One engineer will cost $3,000–$5,000, depending on whether they’re junior or senior, and this includes Intellias’ fee. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Intellias in December 2018, and it’s ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’re very pleased with Intellias in terms of quality, responsiveness, communication, and flexibility. It’s easy for us to determine the process with them, which is another thing we like about them. We’re very satisfied internally. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We work in a particular way with the engineers, and we don’t fully outsource projects. We use a model called “team extensions,” meaning we manage the team members directly. My company handles project management, but we have a delivery manager on their side who helps us solve other challenges and define processes. What did you find most impressive about them? They’re very adjustable to our needs, and this was something we looked for in the beginning. We didn’t want to work with a company that was too big with inflexible processes, nor with a small company, where the quality and other assets would be missing. Intellias is the right size, and they’re flexible to our needs. That’s very important to us. Are there any areas they could improve? Lately, their recruitment cycle could be faster. From what I understand, this is more or less related to Lviv and the demand for engineers there. Still, it’s something we’d like to see improved. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Tobacco Company **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: Confidential - Project length: June 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias supplies ongoing staff augmentation for a tobacco company.

""I’m impressed with Intellias’ ability to attract talent and keep the talent up to date." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the head of infrastructure optimization at Philip Morris International, a tobacco company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? I needed a company for staff augmentation. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias provide staff augmentation for our engineering capabilities. Our first project was with a team of 3–4 people for the development of a custom application, and it expanded to additional services. What is the team composition? We worked with up to 35 people at a certain point. There are currently 15 people working for us. How did you come to work with Intellias? I found them online and looked at the services they provided and their references. We started with a small project that went well, and then I scaled up to a bigger number. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in June 2017, and the partnership is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Intellias does a great job of providing the best options. We reviewed and selected the candidates with a formal interview. We are responsible for the people working for us, but Intellias helps us find, maintain, and expand their competencies. They’ve been very flexible in all discussions, both commercial and operational. The management has always been supportive to help us to achieve our goals. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Intellias provided the facility, support, compensation, motivation, and training so that the team operates according to our requirements. The management of the project is on our side. What did you find most impressive about them? I’m impressed with Intellias’ ability to attract talent and keep the talent up to date. Their flexibility and attention to our satisfaction also stand out. They’re always persistent in explaining a situation we might not be able to see because we’re not in the office with the team members.  There were a few times when people were leaving or not performing well. Intellias has compensated us with additional resources at no charge. Are there any areas they could improve? The process of finding resources in the beginning was not optimal. It’s improved over time. --- #### Backend Web Development for Digital Banking Platform **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. 2017 - Jan. 2019 **Project Summary**: Intellias assisted with the backend development of a banking solution.

""I was impressed with their positive attitude and professionalism." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the product manager at a digital banking platform. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We needed assistance with the backend web development for a white-label banking solution. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Their team developed our banking platform using CMS, HTML, Ruby on Rails, and Ruby. Within the platform, there was ApplePay, a bonus system for customers, a new overdraft loan, and a couple of other features. What is the team composition? One half of our team is in-house while the other is Intellias. There are 2–8 developers, a scrum master, and another remote team. How did you come to work with Intellias? They had been here a year when I onboarded. How much have you invested with them? We spent €350 (approximately $388 USD) per manday. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in 2017. The project was ongoing for around two or so years. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Their team had a fast development cycle. Some of the more extensive features were a bit of challenge, but they have a good working attitude. Compared to other vendors, their team works extremely hard. Intellias employs great talent. They’re smart people that are quick at hiring. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Intellias always meets timelines and estimates. Communication throughout was great. We used Jira and Confluence. What did you find most impressive about them? I was impressed with their positive attitude and professionalism. Are there any areas they could improve? The skillset of the developers varied. Some were outpacing others, but on average, it was good quality. I’d hope for a bit more of a balance between the team. --- #### Multiple Devs for Blockchain Development Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Brought in as a third-party, Intellias has designed and developed the frontend for a digital contract provider’s web app assignments. They are currently working on the second project in the engagement. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Senior Blockchain Architect, Deon Digital - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 11, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: The first app perfectly emulates the end-users’ vision and was implemented successfully. The Intellias team’s history of flexibly accomplishing projects makes them a trustworthy partner. They continue to meet expectations and emphasize their commitment to their work in the multiyear collaboration. ""Their willingness to fully understand the projects and our needs makes them a pleasant partner to work with." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the senior blockchain architect at Deon Digital. We create entirely digital contracts for a variety of clients from industries like tourism, multilevel marketing, and finance. Our company is currently in the prototype phase, and we're in the blockchain development field.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We have two projects with Intellias. The first assignment from our insurance-industry client required the frontend of a web app to be designed and developed. The final product needed to allow for all processed information to be moved to the blockchain. In the second project, we needed them to develop an interface for our client in the multilevel marketing industry to view reports, commissions, etc.   **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Our engagement began with Intellias designing and developing our insurance industry client. They handled the frontend design, as well as the logic implementation and integration with our middleware server. They connected the frontend they designed to the existing backend using API coding. The site allows for user interactivity for registering, searching insurance coverages, making claims and appointments, and receiving feedback. What is the team composition? For the first project with Intellias, they provided a designer and two developers. We have one designer working on the current project, and we anticipate they’ll provide 1–2 developers for the next stage. How did you come to work with Intellias? I chose Intellias because I had worked with them at my previous job. We had a positive experience working together and, though we considered two other companies, Intellias were the most professional and timely in their proposal. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around $15,000 at this stage. What is the status of this engagement? The first project took from March until April 2018. The current project recently began. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’ve been satisfied with Intellias' high-quality work. Their implementation has matched our designs precisely, and we’ve received everything we envisioned so far. The first app they completed led our client to pursue a second project with us because of its success.   How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? They’ve been flexible with their project management style and are open to being as involved as we need. We have daily meetings for both projects to receive feedback and make sure everything is on track. Together, we use a Kanban system and GitLab to manage the project. They are willing to adopting a different style depending on the project and customer needs. What did you find most impressive about them? Their willingness to fully understand the projects and our needs makes them a pleasant partner to work with. Additionally, they are quick to respond to our emails, and they make us feel as though we're their priority. Are there any areas they could improve? There are instances where we could make the requirements clearer to avoid Intellias heading in the wrong direction. The results would match our expectations more entirely if our needs were easier to understand. --- #### Platform Development for Software Service Provider **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias acts as a partner for a software development company. They support various mobile, web-based, and cloud applications.

They communicate well and work within an agile scrum environment. They are responsive, proactive, and engaged. "“They are cooperative and flexible and always come up with the best options for us.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We provide software development for customers in Germany and Eastern Europe. I’m the CEO. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We wanted a partner to help us with apps and web-based development. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They collaborate with us in several development areas, including web-based applications, iOS, Android, and cloud applications. We use JavaScript, Angular, and React. What is the team composition? We draw from a base of 15 developers, but the team size varies with each project. We’re currently working on a project in the automotive industry and have a team of six. How did you come to work with Intellias? We spoke with their CEO and decided we wanted to cooperate with each other. We decided they would be the best fit for us because of their experience in the technologies we wanted. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in 2009. The most recent project began in September 2017 and is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The quality of work is always excellent. They are cooperative and flexible and always come up with the best options for us. They provide the right people for our projects and engage in a timely manner. The collaboration is very satisfying. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We have an agile model with them. We work in scrum mode and tailor their work to each sprint. They deliver what we expect at a good velocity and their performance and productivity are good. What did you find most impressive about them? They communicate well in our steering meetings. They look for good compromises with us and are supportive. We always find the right solutions with them and they bring us to the next level of engagement. Are there any areas they could improve? There are little things that could improve, but I have no complaints about their work. They’re engaged and proactive and are responsive to last minute changes. They perform very well and I can’t think of any weaknesses. --- #### Software Development Support for Fintech Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Jan. 2014 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias provides developers with knowledge of the full suite of Java technologies for various projects. Specifically, the developers have used Java Enterprise Edition, JavaBeans, CDI’s, and PrimeFaces. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CTO, Fintech Company - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Aug 14, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: Staff augmentation has shrunk software and feature delivery times and facilitated process refinement and improvement. Their ability to solve issues with minimal fuss is commendable. ""They were able to discuss and solve a lot of problems quickly and directly that were not trivial."  " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the CTO of CRX Markets AG, a fintech startup. We are developing software for supply chain financing and working capital optimization tasks, which we provide as a service to our corporate clients. Basically, the software is a marketplace for transactions with corporate payables and receivables. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We're very product-centric, meaning we have our own software and platform for these kinds of financial services. We needed help to push out new software and features in a shorter time frame. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They provided developers that we proceeded to use on multiple projects. I think we’re a difficult client because we only hire senior developers; we didn’t look at juniors or mids. They’ve used the whole stack of Enterprise Java technologies, from JPA, Enterprise JavaBeans and CDI to JSF,PrimeFaces - a UI component library - and JavaScript. What is the team composition? We currently have seven people at Intellias’ office, but we’re in the process of growing the team by at least three to five people. How did you come to work with Intellias? It’s generally challenging to find a sufficient number of developers in Munich and Germany, so we looked nearshore in Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, and other places. We chose first the geographical location; it’s easily reachable from Munich and the culture is similar. We also compared prices, company sizes—we didn’t want a 1,000-person company because we needed sufficient attention, nor a less than 100-person company, because we wanted a group experienced in delivery. We talked to multiple companies to see how much attention we’d get from management, as well as some developers to ask them about project management. We looked at their processes and how they’d fit internally. We checked how long people stayed with a company and actually visited them as well. We then ran a test with a small team from Intellias and it was successful. How much have you invested with them? Our spend is around the low six-digits. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working together since early 2014. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The primary result is the ability to deliver more software in the same timeframe; to welcome more features in parallel and to deliver them to customers faster. Second, is being forced, by having to deal and coordinate with an external company, to look at our own processes with more attention to detail and think about if they’re good enough. It’s made us improve them in some places to make them compatible with an external service provider. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? Since we have developers mixed together in Munich and Ukraine—we don’t split them totally—we insisted on using our project management tools and our means of communication. We do use Intellias’ time reporting, though. What did you find most impressive about them? They were able to discuss and solve a lot of problems quickly and directly that were not trivial. Are there any areas they could improve? As I said, we're growing our team, so of course we’d be happy to get more candidates and more recruitment initiatives. I know how the market is today, and I think they do a good job. We’d love to double our team now but I don't think I can really blame it on them. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Energy Management App **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Jan. 2012 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Using Ext JS and additional APIs and frameworks, Intellias supplies additional team members to work as part of an IT services company to work on the frontend of an energy management application. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Product Manager, eggs unimedia GmbH - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jan 19, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: Because of their strong technical capabilities, many responsibilities were transferred to the Intellias team. Their collaboration helps to expands the team’s abilities and develop focus on backend enhancements. This long-term commitment is built on reliability and continuous drive for improvement. "“We haven’t regretted trying an offshoring approach with them.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am a product manager of an IT services company. We provide services for third party members. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We are working on an energy management system app which is growing and facing new technologies and challenges. We needed to grow and to include additional team members. It was difficult to find new team members here in Germany that fit our team, which is one of the reasons we wanted to try an offshoring approach. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We have two teams working for a huge energy company. One team is based in Munich and the second team is Intellias. Intellias purely takes care of the frontend. We are utilizing Ext JS as well as additional APIs and frameworks. We are still bound to Ext JS, but this will likely change soon because there are also some mobile challenges in the near future, and we might completely rewrite everything in a different framework. What is the team composition? We have six team members working on the project. I am the middle man and play the role of a product owner and technical proxy. How did you come to work with Intellias? We found them through consultants here that have experience with offshoring. How much have you invested in them? We have a monthly cost of €30,000–€35,000 ($36,738–$42,873). What is the status of this engagement? We began working with them in 2012 and the work is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They had a huge impact. The collaboration provided a lot of backend-focused capacities which we can utilize differently. A lot of tasks were transferred to Intellias, which was done well in a reliable way. The quality of the outcome has been great. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? They utilize Jira to help our development process as we are all dealing with Scrum. What did you find most impressive about them? One of the most impressive things is their amazing team spirit and engagement. I have loved working with them every day for the last five years. During stressful phases, they are just as engaged. Sometimes additional work is needed, and they are always reliable. It seems more usual that people change jobs all the time, but this isn’t the case for us. We’ve only had a couple of changes, but in general, it has been very stable and all the people there have been part of the team for a long time and want to stay there for the long term. Their team has evolved as an offshoring provider. We haven’t regretted trying an offshoring approach with them. Are there any areas they could improve? We have identified points of improvement in terms of team collaboration, but we are constantly working to improve the things we identify. For example, at a workshop here in Munich with all the team members, we identified improvement possibilities as well as the next steps in how to resolve them; we plan to have another workshop in the spring. We work very well together. Any issues are addressed and solved together. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Interactive Storytelling Platform **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Feb. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias augments an internal team that builds web apps for creating and publishing interactive content. They help with most development projects, including back-office systems that improve customer service. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Team Leader, Interactive Storytelling Platform - Industry: Advertising & marketing - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 14, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Their expertise, punctuality, and willingness to provide custom services inspire confidence. While they are not the most affordable option, Intellias’ recruitment process ensures that the best resources are available. They are easy to work with and align well with the corporate culture. "“We’ve been amazed by their skills and feel confident about giving them projects that involve our core business.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. Our company provides an online platform for creating content that you can then embed into different websites and blogs. We develop different kinds of web apps to provide solutions for our clients, most of our whom are publishers. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? It wasn’t just a specific project; we needed to increase the development capacity of our in-house teams. We needed a team that can deliver different types of apps once we give them ownership of a specific area. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We give them a chance to be a part of everything that we do. Most of our products are web-oriented. Some of the technologies we’ve used include JavaScript, Angular, Node.js, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Angular 1.6, and Angular 4. We use Microsoft Access on the backend and develop the architecture on Jenkins, including CI/CD [Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery] testing. Aside from our public products, they also work on back-office development for our internal systems, including ones that handle all of the traffic for our service desk. What is the team dynamic? We currently have 3 teams: frontend, backend, and monetization. Since it’s important for us to get the best people, we’ve developed a recruitment process that’s right for us. So far, we have hired 8 people, about 1 developer every 3–8 weeks. How did you come to work with Intellias? After conversations with 3 different companies, we chose Intellias because they seemed professional and flexible enough to meet our demands. We were impressed by the way they introduced themselves and described their services, which gave us the feeling that they would be the best way for us to build the team and get support. For us, special requirements like a dual-branded office were really important, and they offered to fulfill them. Also, their team was just the right size for our needs. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent $100,000 on their services. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in February of this year, and the engagement is ongoing. We started to recruit developers in March. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Their developers are excellent, and the quality of the code is really good. This was one of our initial concerns because remote teams sometimes don’t provide good quality. Fortunately, we’ve been amazed by their skills and feel confident about giving them projects that involve our core business. While the relationship isn’t perfect, it takes time to understand the challenges of working with a remote team. We know that we have to invest a lot of effort in the communication, including flying over there often. Their developers also visit our office in Israel. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? They don’t really manage projects for us. Instead, they are part of the project that we manage here in Israel. For projects involving the development of services and apps, everything is smooth in terms of timeliness and quality. However, projects like integration have a tendency to be delayed because they require a lot of communication. We set up meetings in the morning to do dailies, and they participate in our weekly meetings. We basically treat them like our employees—for example, we send them birthday gifts. It’s not easy, but it’s always important to make them feel like they belong and share our vision. We want to get them into the process and not just outsource what we want to build. As a result, they are more committed to the work and understand the business better. What did you find most impressive about them? Their key strength is their people. They are a good fit with our culture and collaborate well with our internal teams. It’s really fun to work with them, and we feel that they are part of our team. Do you have any advice for potential customers? It’s best to trust them and share the big picture. Initially, we didn’t feel fully confident so we assigned some tasks to our internal staff instead, which made them more passive about things. This is something that we’re working on, and we’ve seen some improvement as we share more information. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Software Development Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: Jan. 2011 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias augment the staffing of a software development company, working on front and backend development. Initially, they brought one or two members to the team, which has then steadily grown over 6 years.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** VP of Technology, Brainstorm Inc - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 27, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: After adapting to the different business and work culture, the team has delivered on everything they have been asked to work on. They are committed, flexible, and willing to take on the risks of development in equal measure to their partners, acting as vital contributors to the business’ success. "“If there’s work to be completed, they will spend all night working on it to hit deliverables.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m CTO [chief technology officer] at a company that works to help companies adopt and utilize software they’ve purchased. We have a software platform that helps drive users to engage with the features that are there.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We needed help affordably scaling a development team. We didn’t know whether we should scale it in-house or outsource it. If we were to outsource it, we didn’t know if we should keep it in the U.S. or offshore it as we were very skeptical of a lot of places that we could offshore to. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We started with 1 to 2 people and the team has continued to grow every year at a reasonable rate. It took a while to get over our cultural differences and have them understand our company and how the U.S. thinks and what our expectations are. We got there and it’s been fine.  We’re a Microsoft.NET stack and 100% Microsoft Azure. It’s everything from the Azure SQL, SQL analysis services, through all the Azure core services, Azure media services, backend developed in C#.NET platform. The frontend there’s a lot of JavaScript for our platform; both Angular and React frameworks. What is the team dynamic?  The one thing that has made it work is they’re not a black box. We know every single member of their company and speak with them. They’re like FTEs [full-time equivalent] for us. We send them gifts and bonuses and view them as part of our team.  How did you come to work with Intellias? We did a Google search, looking all over the world. There were 2 factors that made Intellias work really well for us. When you visit them or speak with them, they’re unique and feel very much like a Silicon Valley company in terms of atmosphere and environment. They have integrity, care about people, and treat them with respect. They’d won awards for being the best development shop to work for in their region. It was overall the values that they had and their approach to it.  When we found Intellias, we felt good, but we moved forward very cautiously. The relationship has grown ever since. When you meet with their owners, Michael [COO, Intellias] and Vitaly [CEO, Intellias], they are super down to earth guys. You feel like they have your best interest in mind. Over the 6 years we’ve been working with them, their actions have proven that.  What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in 2011 and the work is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They’ve delivered on everything we’ve asked them to. They produce a great product. They commit, deliver, and go out of their way. It’s not like they put their 8 hours in and say they’re done. If there’s work to be completed, they will spend all night working on it to hit deliverables. It’s been fantastic. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? They’ve been very flexible and allowed us to dictate everything in terms of project management. They conformed to using all our project management tools the way we wanted to. They’re absolutely customer-centric, which means they’re there to make us happy. They also take ownership of things and accountability. Overall, it’s what you would hope for working with any contract company. We work with a lot of companies both in the U.S. and internationally, and I rank them as one of the best partnerships we have. What did you find most impressive about them? There’s a fair burden of risk on both parties. It wasn’t like they weren’t willing to talk to us on the phone until they’re billing us $150-$200 an hour. They were willing to run it on their dime to prove to us they are the best. They assumed risks on that because they had confidence in their work. We try and be a good customer to them and we’ll assume risks at times as well.  It comes back to being a really good partnership. I’ve never felt like they put us in a difficult or compromising situation. Anytime anything has come up where there’s any question, it’s very collaborative and both parties come to the table. It’s always fair, honest, and genuine.  Are there any areas they could improve? The one disappointment was the cultural adjustment period, but I don’t believe that’s their fault or any way around that. They adapted really quickly.  Do you have any advice for future clients of Intellias? We’ve been thrilled. I genuinely love the guys and think they’re amazing. They do good work and, as a company, we wouldn’t have been able to do what we’ve done without their help. In a lot of ways, they’ve made our success happen. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Location Platform Company **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2016 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias augmented a location cloud company's internal resources, developing location-based services and client software while making suggestions for improvement. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Manager, Location Platform Company - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 5,001-10,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 12, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: The partnership resulted in increased efficiency and a 40% reduction in costs, while allowing in-house staff to focus on strategic projects. Intellias impressed with their solid talent acquisition process and quality standards. The agency's proactive management kept projects moving forward. "“It’s a true success story for me.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We are a leading location cloud company. We harness the power of location data to build location-based services and solutions for B2B and B2C customers. I'm the engineering director. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We're on a long journey. We believe our business will help to build the autonomous world in the future. It's not easy to get highly skilled engineers in this world. We were looking into how to be cost-efficient for some parts of the business. This is how our cooperation goes; it goes both ways. We have outsourced mature technology stacks. Our cooperation is more about cross-functional teams. We are exploring new ideas and we build team extensions from there. We also develop location-based services. We are talking about the cloud, things like Java and Scala, but also there's a complementary part; for some of our projects, we develop client software. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They worked with different Agile software development methodologies variations, which is what we use at our company. They were very flexible with all the JIRA plug-ins, scrum boards, etc. For some project planning, they used Microsoft products. We gave them opportunities to design how they would do it. They introduced improvements to the process that we have at our company. We didn't want to impose our ways of work, but there was knowledge sharing involved. What is the team dynamic? My department is only one of several departments that are working with Intellias. On my project, we started with over 20 developers, release managers, and project managers, because we started with a mature technology stack to see how they would cope with this challenge. We interviewed everyone. Nowadays, there are more than 200 Intellias engineers working for different parts of the company. How did you come to work with Intellias? I started looking in Ukraine. I also talked to other companies outside of Ukraine. I knew the Ukrainian market to some extent. We chose to work with a company in Ukraine because of the one-hour time difference. The Czech Republic has big companies there like Amazon and Intel, but in countries like Poland and Ukraine, it's like the Wild West; there are no big companies, so there's a lot of talent on the market. We had a thorough process on how we selected the partner. At the end of the day, we decided to go with a mid-size company, not a big one. We believed that having cooperation with a mid-size company would enable us to shape the cooperation and build the way of working. We also have direct contact with the company’s C-level executives. What is the status of this engagement? We started in 2016 and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Their deliverables were not always on time because we are talking about operational work, but we saved roughly 40% in terms of cost. Most importantly, it was not about cost savings, because we also have people internally. This gave us an opportunity to free up our internal capacity to target strategic areas where we would like to enter. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We used Scrum and AJAX. We asked if they had other ideas to make processes more efficient, and in some areas they did, especially with software release processes. What did you find most impressive about them? We're still growing the cooperation. It’s a true success story for me. If they could find more talent for us faster, that would be great. We also don't want to compromise on quality. They have a very good selection process of their candidates, but also for the lead positions, you interview the guys. We don't compromise on quality on one hand, but on the other hand, we would like to have more talented engineers. Are there any areas they could improve? No, I can't really say. It's a good cooperation, and I don't see anything that they could do better. We put them in the driver's seat for some of the projects. We don’t impose how they do things. So far, I'm very happy with the cooperation. --- #### Application Dev for Language E-Learning Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Feb. 2012 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias built a completely new architecture for German company, Phase6, moving an offline legacy product to a modern, cloud-based platform & creating native iOS and Android solutions for their mobile needs. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, Phase-6 - Industry: Education - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jul 12, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Intellias worked with Phase6 since the inception of the new platform, and the collaboration is expected to continue. Any scheduling and communication problems are resolved quickly through the use of comprehensive project management tools. ""“[L]ooking back, Intellias couldn’t have done a better job. Nothing negative comes to mind."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. Phase6 is a German limited company that helps students improve their vocabulary in different languages with software solutions for desktop and mobile devices. We are the market leader in our segment in Germany, and our customers are students aged 10-15 and their parents. Currently we have 20 employees. I am the CEO. Formerly, I was the product manager on this project for a long period until I transferred most of the responsibility to a new product manager in 2016. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? In 2012 we had two separate products for mobile and desktop, which were not connected. The legacy product had been quite successful in Germany for almost 10 years, but it was an offline solution for PC and Mac. Even though both products did essentially the same thing, a switch from one product to the other was not possible. We were looking to build a platform where both products could connect, and we knew we needed to switch to a cloud platform with mobile apps, in other words, a modern architecture. This platform was also supposed to become the core of a completely new product version that would enable us to offer more modern usability with web and mobile clients to our users, which would allow us to grow faster and provide better services to our customers. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias developed our solution natively for iOS and Android. Our backend is Java, and we also have an HTML5 and JavaScript web application. We are currently working with a 7-person team from Intellias’ side, including 2 QA resources. Earlier in the project, we had up to 11 people working on the project. How did you come to work with Intellias? We were looking for a service provider that was able to provide a scalable team of highly skilled engineers at a competitive price. We were also looking for a midsize company to make sure that our project was one of their larger projects, and so we would have senior management attention if needed. This was a big advantage for us when looking at Intellias because they weren’t too big at the time. We looked for developers in Ukraine since we already had one developer there who had been working for us for a long time and with whom we were happy. We reviewed a couple of different companies there. When we looked at some reviews for Intellias’ developers on a platform specializing in companies from that region, they had the best reviews for their resources. Since we hadn’t managed any large projects before, we were also looking for experienced project managers who would help us increase the chances for a successful project and help integrate our own designer into this project. The project duration of the original scope was 3 years and then switched to a long-term development project that would continue improving and maintaining the existing product. How much have you invested with Intellias? The project has been running for almost 5 years, during which time we’ve spent between €300,000–€500,000 [$355,000–$591,000] every year. We currently spend closer to €300,000. Overall, the cost has been between €1.5 million–€2 million. [$1.7 million–$2.3 million] What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Intellias in the beginning of 2012. The project is ongoing, and it will continue for a long time. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? Five years after the project started, customer satisfaction, conversion rates, and overall system performance are at an all time high. Project management is now in our own hands, and I wouldn’t want to change it back. Our original concept of separating product and project management encountered too many challenges, which resulted in schedule and budget overruns. I am still not sure whether this concept could have been more successful or whether it completely contradicts the idea of agile development. The most significant result has been that Intellias developed our main (and pretty much only) product. Our revenue depends on its maintenance, so if our continued existence and growth as a company can be considered results, then we’ve been successful! How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We are using Atlassian software, namely JIRA and Confluence. The most important part of project management is having a structured approach using tools like these. We had some minor issues in the beginning sticking to deadlines, but we’re currently on a very good track. This may have been a communication problem, and it’s normal that with every new project and from both sides, some expectations aren’t met in the beginning. What did you find most impressive about Intellias? Our initial expectation was that we would have access to management if we had any problems. We did have some issues in the beginning, but we always found a solution. I’ve seen projects fail at points like these, but we always got through every problem with Intellias. Are there any areas Intellias could improve? We wanted everything to run smoothly from the beginning and, looking back, Intellias couldn’t have done a better job. Nothing negative comes to mind. --- #### App and Backend Development for Educational Technology Startup **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: June 2012 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias built an Android and iOS app, which included A.I. for backend solutions. They also provided staffing, infrastructure hosting, business analysis and end-to-end implementation.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Alphary AG - Industry: Education - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Mar 16, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Oxford University Press licensed the developed technology for worldwide distribution. Intellias' quality assurance and flexibility were noted; they had a dedicated QA engineer and their owners were available for communication. ""It’s really great for a startup company to have a partner like this." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re an educational technology startup. We develop technological solutions for our B2B clients, which are typically publishers in the education space and private schools. I’m the founder and CEO. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? The goal was to have a flexible and scalable programming team. We needed to recruit talented programmers quickly, which is hard to do in Austria. We also wanted to be able to scale the team up and down based on the needs of the project. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They provide a full service: everything from staffing your team, hosting them with their infrastructure, doing the requirements and business analysis of your project, and then the end-to-end implementation. They also handle the quality assurance, requirements management, deployment, and operations. It’s a full-service agency. We can decide who we need on our team through Intellias. They’re also flexible when we do some work ourselves and only need them for the programming. They have a nice business model. They built an app for iOS and Android for one of our projects. We license the app to various education companies. They built the whole backend solution for the app, including some artificial intelligence. How did you come to work with Intellias? About five years ago, we decided we wanted a development partner in a particular town in Ukraine. We visited the area and interviewed three different companies. Intellias was the smallest one, and we liked them the best. We liked their people and their approach. We liked that they were small enough to allow us to talk directly to the owners. They’ve grown a lot since then, but we have a very good relationship. How much have you invested with Intellias? We spend between €250,000 and €750,000 [US $268,700–$806,100] every year. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working with them since June or July of 2012, and the relationship is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? We have quite a few educational apps on the market that were developed by Intellias. Maybe our biggest success story is that Oxford University Press, the biggest English-language learning materials publisher in the world, has licensed our technology for worldwide distribution. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We use JIRA, and there is usually a dedicated project manager on the team. We share the infrastructure, and my team in Austria is using the same tools. It’s really quite seamless. What did you find most impressive about Intellias? The most unique thing about them is their flexibility. You can talk to the two business owners, and there’s no corporate red tape. They provide very pragmatic solutions. It’s really great for a startup company to have a partner like this. They also always provide a dedicated quality assurance engineer. They’re very experienced in covering all the different types of quality assurance: manual, automated, integrated testing, unit testing, system-level testing, and performance testing. They do all of this by default Are there any areas Intellias could improve? Not really. I’m quite happy all around. --- #### Multiple App Dev for IT Consulting Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: **Project Summary**: Intellias developed several projects for the company including Java development, Oracle database, web development, portal development, and Android/iOS applications. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Owner, IT Consulting Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Feb 13, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Intellias provided creative and professional resources who were up to date and always on time. They proved to understand the business going on in the DACH region and were able to assign German speaking resources, which was beneficial. ""Intellias provides impeccable quality." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We are a small IT project management and development company in Switzerland. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We have worked on several projects with Intellias, starting with Java, Oracle database, and web development. We have also used Intellias for client-server projects, as well as portal development and Android and iOS work. In general, we've worked with teams of 5 –10 people from Intellias. Their project managers were in touch with ours, but we also had contact with the developers themselves. How did you come to work with Intellias? I met with Intellias' team in Switzerland at a time when their company was developing its business. How much have you invested with Intellias? The cost of most of the projects we've done with Intellias has been between $100,000 and $300,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Intellias in 2005. We have worked on six or seven projects with them so far. Our most current one started in August 2016 and is still ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? Intellias has provided creative and professional resources, who are up to date and know their business. A good thing about Intellias is that they concentrate on the DACH region [Germany, Austria, and Switzerland], which means that they understand the business going on in this area. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? In general, we've communicated through phone and Skype with Intellias, but we also use JIRA for tracking specific issues. What did you find most impressive about Intellias? Intellias has German-speaking resources, which is a good benefit for us, especially when involving clients into discussions. Intellias is service-focused during all decisions, concentrating on what is a benefit for us and our business. Are there any areas Intellias could improve? Areas of improvement also include our own company. The communication could be improved, but we wouldn’t have had the same issue if we were talking with English natives. German can be difficult to translate, so we’ve had trouble in translating from non-English speakers. What tips or recommendations could you share that might increase the likelihood of success with Intellias? I would recommend Intellias to clients looking to start bigger projects. --- #### Ongoing Dev Engagement for B2B Payment Solutions Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Mar. 2014 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias joined an existing group of distributed offshore providers serving the same client. Assigned engineers built a payment integration solution for a flagship product and they continue improving it.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, EveryMatrix - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 201-500 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jan 25, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: While deadlines are missed occasionally, deliverables rarely require much retroactive revision. The direct involvement of Intellias executive leadership is also a noteworthy highlight.  ""I was in touch with their CEO from day one and not with an assigned account manager." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We develop B2B software with payment functionalities within the gambling space, namely online casinos and sports. We have around 70 clients worldwide and have been growing nicely over the last few years. I am the chief executive officer of the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We have development offices in Romania, Armenia, China, and Vietnam. We were looking to expand our development capacity, making Intellias our 5th development office. We were at the outset of starting a large project that would involve at least 30 developers, but it ended up requiring 50. We were faced with recruitment issues in our main offices, so we started looking around. With all our other development locations, we have made the investment of establishing a local company, thus not using outsourcing per se. Intellias is the only instance where we used an outsourced development company that sits between us and the developers. It was a departure from our normal practice. The reason for doing it was because of the size of the project — we felt that we needed to have a reasonable assurance of staffing up quickly. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We have built an application for payment integration using Intellias. That is an area with strict requirements since the product will undergo an audit for obtaining a payment provider license. We started architecting the solution and applied for a payment service provider license (PSP) in Malta, one of the preferred European issuers. In order to do this, we needed to obtain what is known as PCI 1, a high level of security. We hired a dedicated security specialist as part of our Intellias team. The specialist’s job was to review everything we were doing and present both architected documents and testing, allowing us to pass the audit later on. This is a bit unusual in software development, where the usual focus is on other things. We had very high standards that needed to be met. We knew this area well already, given that the application we were building was replicating an existing lower-quality solution using a new team and higher requirements. Intellias represents 40% of the team we're using for the project, specifically with more than 60 developers. Our solution is web frontend, but most of our work with Intellias was server-side. It involved many senior developers experienced with .NET, and Java. The transactions handled by the software involve many server integrations, storage, and security. Most of the frontend developers in Intellias' office are working on the back-office interface for configuration, search, and administration, not a traditional end-user portal. The interaction was key for us. We have set out to make Intellias' team a part of our own staff, so we weren't looking for the typical outsourcing model of handing over requirements and waiting for a result. We haven't used Intellias' project managers, but we have used them for hosting, recruitment and servicing. We have taken control of the projects and the staff to a large degree. We have been active within the organization; I have traveled regularly to Intellias' location and so have our members from job and division management. After a 2-year collaboration, things have become quite smooth. For all intents and purposes, we see Intellias as just another office in our matrix. They do play an important role, but it's limited in certain ways. How did you come to work with Intellias? I had an employee who had worked with Intellias and recommended the company. I was looking at other places, mostly in Kiev, but since he'd had a good experience, we decided to include Intellias in the interview process. We also talked with 3 other companies. We made some job descriptions and asked for sample CVs for the first team from each candidate company. Intellias came out strong in this regard. Overall, they have not disappointed us since then. The actual offering is never exactly as described, but we've been able to recruit talent from Intellias fairly well. It's been a stable relationship, with very few developers leaving our team since we've started. The price mattered, but another reason for choosing Intellias was their location. L'viv, Ukraine is a small city compared to Kiev, which offers more developers but also has more staff turnover. I've seen this in Bucharest, where we have our own company. The turnover is too great, even though we're active in our retention effort. How much have you invested with Intellias? I don't know the exact number, but it's significant. We've increased our initial team of 5–6 people to 60 developers on Intellias' side. The cost for Intellias is the same as other major players in the Ukrainian market, split between the staff and the company overhead. I like this model because it makes it clear what Intellias' costs are, and, if the staff has a salary increase because of inflation, it will hit me one-to-one. What is the status of this engagement? We have been working with Intellias since the spring of 2014. The initial staffing process was slow, with the work starting more seriously in November to December of that year. Our framework was built during 2015 and 2016. We're mostly done at the moment, with most projects being delivered.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? We don't keep track of completion percentages or other tasks, largely because this has not been Intellias' role. We have taken the lead on all projects, so any mistakes in terms of architecture and scheduling have been our responsibility. Intellias gave us the clay to work with and it was up to us to use it. I am happy with the quality of developers; Intellias has a good team. There will, of course, be some misses when hiring 60 people, but, if 50 of those are kept, then we've done a good job. We are probably around that number. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We have deadlines and they have been missed occasionally. In the beginning, delays were more unexpected, but our communication has been better, with ample warning coming from their side. This isn't exclusively the responsibility of Intellias because the project planning happens with our own staff. Intellias has no say and isn't informed about our project plans and milestones. If we did great, I wouldn't credit Intellias and I wouldn't discredit them if we did poorly. We have used our project management tools of choice, which are the same ones used in Romania and China. Intellias adapted to them. One particular thing I was looking for from the start was to have the team move out of Intellias' office. This happened when we reached 25 people. Our initial team was housed along with all other developers in a big office, which meant that the staff felt more connected to Intellias than to us. I wanted to change that and Intellias was flexible in accommodating us. In 2015, our team was moved to another office which Intellias set up for us. It was quite far away from our initial location. The office is in an area which we liked and has our logo on the door. For all intents and purposes, it's our own office even though Intellias is paying the rent and ensuring that everything works in terms of Internet and other facilities. It was a good solution for us, making our developers feel like a part of our company even if their employment contracts say Intellias. Another goal was to convert the team's operation to our fully-owned payment setup. This was in our contract from day one. The longer we wait, the more profit Intellias makes, but the price paid for taking developers out of Intellias also decreases. It's a good setup which shows good flexibility and understanding of our needs. We've grown within the organization and gradually separated in terms of office, and, one year from now, in terms of the contract. What did you find most impressive about Intellias? It was a great experience to speak to Intellias' management, given that I was in touch with their CEO from day one and not with an assigned account manager. We have become one of their largest clients, which Intellias realized from the start. Not that an account manager can't do great things, but having a direct line to their CEO really does help. There aren't usually many issues, but, when I need to, I can go to Intellias' CEO and get a fast and professional reaction. Are there any areas Intellias could improve? It's been a pleasure working with Intellias and I have very little to say in terms of improvements. --- #### Data Exchange Platform for Consulting Company **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Aug. 2016 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: The project consisted of designing and developing a data exchange platform for ERP, CRM, and third-party systems, along with step-by-step migration of the data from MS SQL to the Azure cloud platform. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** IT, IFB.de - Industry: Legal - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jan 16, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: The teams reached the testing phase — a good milestone according to the client. They have been content with the progress. Intellias cared about the company and did as much as possible to satisfy them. Their german language skills were cited as an area for improvement. ""During my 2010 Java project with Intellias, they did a perfect job, supporting me with all architecture and design questions." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We are a German work council education institute. We are a market leader offering a spectrum of seminars, from law-related topics to economics, and everything else that a work council could be in need of. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Intellias? We were modernizing our IT infrastructure and decided to have a hybrid Azure integration. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Intellias is working on creating a web API, serving the consumer endpoints we are providing such as our website or app. We have an ASP.NET Web API project and are using C# for the backend. The platform-as-a-service uses a SQL server using the Entity Framework. We are also creating OData controllers for more flexibility in terms of data querying and extending entities. Our endpoints are the key features of the project. We currently have an old-school method for data transfer, using integration services that read from one database and store the information into another. We are analyzing the data transferred and implementing APIs for it. We thought that the translation process for transcribing our entities would take more time, but Intellias' developer quickly understood what we actually needed. I am very confident and satisfied with the process. We are currently employing a single developer from Intellias, although I've used a team of 3 people for a past project. Our overall project is employing other external contractors, with a total team of 10. We are employing an Agile methodology using a backlog and multiple iterations, which is used for all our projects. The development is somewhat chaotic at this time, but that is more our fault. How did you come to work with Intellias? I first worked with Intellias in 2010, and have actually grown to be friends with their chief developer. Given that I had had a good experience, I thought it would be a good move to replicate it currently. We had another company in competition, and we are also working with another service provider in Croatia. My experience with them, as well as the cost, made my choice for Intellias very easy. How much have you invested with Intellias? We are currently in the scope of $50,000 for Intellias' services, for our full list of requirements. Some of the financial decisions are made by my bosses. Our company is quite dynamic, with many analysis processes. Things could change, but for the moment, the scope will remain constant. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Intellias in October 2016. We have an ongoing relationship with Intellias. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? We are still in the development phase. After the analysis phase, we worked on a few proof-of-concept deliverables. We have gone through the implementation and are now in the test phase. The service provider taking care of our website will test the endpoints created by Intellias, looking at performance issues around our Azure setup. We will refine the missing details later on, but Intellias is helping us with the testing phase for the moment. That is a good milestone to reach, and we have done it in good time. Everyone has been content with the progress. The next phase will revolve around the community side of the software. Once our customers are registered on the site, they can buy our seminars and books. Those transactions will need to be handled by us, which will be the next step. We have set a deadline of August 2017, and I think that we are progressing well. How did Intellias perform from a project management standpoint? We have worked with a project manager from Intellias, but we have preferred working directly with our developer. We are setting up use cases for the endpoints, typically explaining our requirements and exchanging documentation over Skype. There is not much overhead with project management. We collaborate almost daily, but I was able to give our developer a set of to-dos while I was on vacation; everything worked fine. The only difficulty has come from the fact that we use German wording for everything. Translating things into English is often the most painful thing. What did you find most impressive about Intellias? During my 2010 Java project with Intellias, they did a perfect job, supporting me with all architecture and design questions. We had a 3-person team which worked proactively. The current project may have seemed boring to Intellias by comparison, but I can't say anything negative about the company. Intellias cares about the company, doing as much as possible to satisfy us. Are there any areas Intellias could improve? The only thing that could have been done differently was on our side. Intellias came into the project after our workflow had been set up. I can't say that Intellias did anything wrong, on the contrary. If their target countries are Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, Intellias' team could improve its German. I speak fairly good English, but it could be a problem for my colleagues. --- #### CRM Development & Support for Loan Comparison Platform **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Jan. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Intellias developed an internal CRM for a loan comparison platform. The team built specialized features and provided support maintenance.  **Review Rating**: 4.0 - Quality: 4.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Technical Product Owner, Smava GmbH - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 201-500 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Aug 19, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: After a stable execution process, features can now be developed internally at a quick speed.
