inVerita

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO and owner of Still Waters Technology, a custom software development company. We work predominantly in technology associated with multi-site program and project management.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with inVertiaSoft?

We initially wanted overflow software development support. As our needs spiked, we decided we wanted an extension of our labor force.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They help with various software. I don’t know their full technical capabilities, but we use them for Solidity, .NET, and Angular on the frontend. We’re about halfway done with a program that allows people to provide services to cryptocurrency funded companies in exchange for cryptocurrency. It’s a kind of crowdsourced labor website, and freelancers can provide transactional labor like translations or blog posts to those companies.

What is the team composition?

We first worked with their CTO, who then handed the project to his architects and a senior project manager. My team interacts predominantly with that PM. We’ve trained between four and six developers as well.

How did you come to work with inVertiaSoft?

We had a partner on the ground in Ukraine. He knows all the local companies there and recommended a few to us. We wanted a mid-sized company that was able to staff senior officers and run autonomous projects but wasn’t so big we got lost in the clutter. inVertiaSoft was aggressive in pursuing us, and were proactive communicators for the six months before we decided to work with them.

How much have you invested with them?

All of our invoices currently total above $40,000 or $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working on the Solidity project in September 2017. We’re currently on our third project with them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This is the first cross-team development project I’ve had that is successful. Their communication is substantially better than my own team, and they’ve made the project perform well. We’ve finished two products now, a Solidity token and an onboarding wizard. They provide a brilliant level of professionalism. They may have gone above and beyond to win our business, but they performed well. They thought outside the box and solved problems we had. It’s uncommon for outsourced labor to take this level of ownership and be so relentless to finish projects on time. The demos for the system they’re working on look great and communication is very good.

How did inVertiaSoft perform from a project management standpoint?

Team feedback is extremely positive. My technical staff raves about how great the PM is. We use Slack and Jira to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their senior engagement is very hands on. They make sure projects succeed on a personal level.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We haven’t had any negative experiences.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The main mistake people could make is explaining what needs to be done without saying why. Explain your business context and drivers of the project. They will help find deficiencies in your requirements and help you design a better strategy. That was the main reason this partnership is succeeding.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We’re a software development company working on a member management CRM for nonprofit organizations. I am the CEO of the company and backend architect of the application.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with inVertiaSoft?

We are trying to scale up our team, and needed more working hours each week.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

inVertiaSoft has provided development resources for our cloud-based member management software, which allows organizations to manage their assets and members, send physical invoices, and handle communication through emails, text messages, and physical letters. The platform is based on .NET, JavaScript, HTML and SQL. They’ve also helped us with Oracle Application Server.

What is the team composition?

We currently have two developers on their side, and interact with both daily. We handle project management on our side.

How did you come to work with inVertiaSoft?

One of our former business associates is a client of theirs. He told us that inVertiaSoft was a good company, so we started using them.

How much have you invested with them?

The cost of their work has been between $50,000 and $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with inVertiaSoft in February 2017, and continue to use two full-time developers from them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have an idea of what we expect their team to deliver, which we can compare that to what they have delivered. inVertiaSoft is doing well.

As an organization, we have limited time and resources. Sometimes we provide weaker specifications. When we were not completely satisfied with inVertiaSoft, we had ourselves to blame.

We’ve asked them for some reworks, but this is to be expected. While we’ve been working on this system for some time, they haven’t been around long.

How did inVertiaSoft perform from a project management standpoint?

They have provided us with a project manager, but we haven’t used that resource to the extent that inVertiaSoft wanted. We handle project management ourselves, and call the team daily to talk about what they’ve been doing, what their problems are, and how they will progress forward.

We mostly communicate using Skype and email, and use Git for documentation and specifications. We try to write as much as possible.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re loyal and hardworking.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Everyone has cons, but those can also be tied to how we’re using their resources. I’m satisfied with inVertiaSoft’s delivery.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Clients should prepare the documentation with a moderate level of accuracy or detail, and let the inVertiaSoft team propose a solution. It’s important not to be too shallow when it comes to specifications, as this can force the developers to guess too much.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of a company that uses matchmaking AI to connect professionals over lunch. We also offer event services within the app, which assist with organization and management while also matching professionally compatible attendants prior to the event.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with inVeritaSoft?

We needed to find reliable developers to help us with the build. We wanted backend developers fluent in Java and frontend developers that could connect with our backend, which was built in React.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started talking through Skype and connected over email. We outlined our major business goals, they walked us through what they could offer, and we agreed on the time to start. They primarily helped with connections to the backend built, and there was a lot of frontend work as well. They made sure the UX/UI were responsive and visually appealing. It looks very good because we created a mobile-friendly website instead of an app.

We’ve started working with them on the event platform as well, which is primarily marketed towards organizations or companies that host events. We have both B2B and B2C, and this was B2B2C.

What is the team dynamic?

We primarily interacted with Andrew [CMO & Service Delivery, inVeritaSoft] and Andriy [Frontend Developer, inVeritaSoft]. We also had a project manager who served as the Scrum leader, an additional frontend developer, and a backend developer.

How did you come to work with inVeritaSoft?

We found them by chance. They were either recommended or they sent an email to us at an opportune time. We were in communication with a few other development companies, but we ended up choosing inVeritaSoft because they sounded the most serious.

How much have you invested with them?

We set a fixed price for the first project to make sure we could collaborate effectively, but the payment model is evolving. We've spent around $25,000 as of now.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working with them since June 2017, but the project we originally started with them is finished. We had a strict deadline in early September. We were very happy with the engagement and have since continued our relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have several in-house developers that they’ve had to collaborate with, and they’ve done so very effectively. They are now a solidified member of our team. The work that they’ve completed has been very high quality, and we haven’t had to revisit any of their work.

At one point during the project, there was a developer on their end that was not delivering to our standards. When we notified inVeritaSoft, they worked hard to address the issue and make sure we were fully satisfied with the engagement. They gave us a few options on how to move forward, and we ended up continuing to work with this developer while working actively with the rest of the team to minimizing any negative impacts.

How did inVeritaSoft perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been very good. They’re using Jira for task management and Scrum and Agile systems for these projects, which are very similar to those that we use. We fit very well together, and they're very professional in their approach. We also use Slack for daily communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

When we started discussing the scope of the project, they understood what it was we were looking for right away and started working. There weren’t any problems.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It’s sometimes difficult to try out the people that they hire, because it’s dependent on the specific needs of the client. Something may be perfect for other clients but might not fit our requirements. It’s just like hiring a new employee; you’re never sure that it’s going to work, but you have to try. When addressing these minor issues, inVeritaSoft has been very in-tune with our needs and have been great about listening to our feedback.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be specific and professional. Tell them exactly what you want and when you want it. The more information you can give them, the more they can deliver with regard to both timeliness and quality.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a company that specializes in providing high-risk consultants to end customers. We’re a small company which means I tend to focus on one or two products at a time.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with InVeritaSoft?

I’m working with a B2B customer in the construction industry, selling products on their website using Hybris e-commerce. I needed additional resources to work with me on this project; preferably people with a documented background working at different Hybris e-commerce projects, or certified people who know this technology. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I continuously talk to them and ask them if they have certain profiles or people we are looking for. They are always willing to help and try to find what I’m looking for. So far, we didn’t expand our cooperation further, but I’m convinced sooner or later they will be able to expand and find more suitable people and we probably will continue. 

What is the team composition? 

I have 2 contacts, Andrew [CMO & Service Delivery, InVeritaSoft] and Orest [COO, InVeritaSoft]. I usually interact with both of them. 

How did you come to work with InVeritaSoft?

They contacted me on LinkedIn and mentioned they had competency within Hybris. I responded and asked for what kind of profiles they had. Over time, by email, they started to provide me with CVs and profiles of people that looked interesting. Once I saw that they were able to provide these types of people with certain profiles, I started researching the need on the client’s side. I adopted one of their consultants to be interviewed by my end client. In the end, that person was accepted by my client. 

How much have you invested with them?

10,000-20,000 euros [$12,250–$24,500]. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in mid-2017 and the work is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I am monitoring the developers they provided so far. I see their output and the results they produce. I scrutinize it myself; checking the reports and their code. I conduct hands-on reviews of the work they produce. They meet my expectations. I’m happy overall. 

How did InVeritaSoft perform from a project management standpoint?

We use Google Docs and email. We have a good channel on Skype where we’re able to reach each other at any time. They’re quite responsive. Being busy with various projects, I appreciate being able to ping them and quickly get a response. 

The technical resources are offshore. They’re mainly located in Ukraine. I’ve also had them visit here in my office in Sweden when we started. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their responsiveness is good; I’m always able to reach them. Their ability to find developers fairly quickly is also good. They’re friendly to interact with and are working out really well.
